We know what's Mou tactics vs big teams

Park bus, counter attack, keep fouls the key players

y chelsea fans showing such banters on mourinho during the match? at least show him some respect?

i dont call them fan. they just a pure idiot people who very rude and disgrace. we here (most maybe or all) love mou. we never hate him. those bastard so call fan are pure ass hole.

TLDR:
-€60m offer for Juventus winger Kingsley Coman, 21 years old this year. (Lookup his statistics from last year here: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/125883/Show/Kingsley-Coman). Is that our backup for Alonso or Willian or Pedro?
-Oh, to those who want Sanchez... other than his training outburst where he was benched in a later match, hear news he asked Arsenal for £250,000 per week. That makes him highest salary in Chelsea if he come here?
-Kante scored 2 goals so far... all against MU. Our next match against MU in April, Kante to score again?
-By the way, well done to our team. Despite Mou attempts to tackle hard our key players like Hazard, at one point even Alonso and Kante got tackled hard by them. Our players beginning to gel together. I was hoping Batshuayi got some games under his belt, it is sad if he indeed leaves us after this season.

Chelsea have made an offer for Kingsley Coman — report

Reports coming out of France suggest that Chelsea FC have made an offer for French winger Kingsley Coman, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Juventus, where he was signed by current Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte.

Breaking | Chelsea have made a €60m offer for Juventus winger Kingsley Coman, according to Téléfoot - the situation http://goo.gl/veV2WM
7:28 PM - 13 Mar 2017

For Coman, the reports come at a tumultuous time in his Bayern career. He is nearing the end of his two-year loan at the Bavarian giants. They have a choice to make his stay permanent in an £18 million deal, and are perhaps being indirectly urged to take up that option with these transfer rumors. Given that teams may be willing to pay €60m for Coman, a deal at £18 million should be a no brainier for Bayern.

However, Coman had played a lot more under previous manager Pep Guardiola than he has under current boss Carlo Ancelotti. Coman has started only six games this season, a significant drop from last season’s 27, when he also scored six goals and added twelve assists in all competitions.

Chelsea aren’t alone on their rumored desires for Coman’s services, with Guardiola possibly looking for a reunion at Manchester City to the tune of £50-60 million. Bayern could possibly exercise their buy-option and then turn around and sell straight away (like Real Madrid were rumored to be doing so with Alvaro Morata last summer), should any of this supposed interest be true. Coman may have had a disappointing season, but he retains plenty of residual value due to his age (just 20) and previous performances at the highest level of European football.

Already capped 11 times by France, Kingsley Coman could fit seamlessly into Conte’s front three; he would have no problem playing the style that has made Pedro and Willian so successful. His breathtaking speed, quickness, and tenacity could be a perfect foil to Eden Hazard for years to come.


Alexis Sánchez semi-outrageous contract demands at Arsenal revealed — report
132
Meanwhile, a “massive offer from a rival club” is already on the table
by Fellipe Miranda and David Pasztor Mar 10, 2017, 2:07am GMT

Ah, schadenfreude.

For the umpteenth time in recent years, Arsenal have once again become the source of much joy and merriment for non-Arsenal fans. Beyond just the humiliation and capitulation they’ve shown against Bayern Munich in the two legs of their knockout round elimination with matching 5-1 losses both home and away, there’s their annual implosion in the Premier League (which might actually take them out of the top four this time around), as well as all the palpable discord happening with Alexis Sanchez and, to a lesser extent, Mesut Ozil, their two biggest stars.

Arsene Wenger’s all too steady management, once considered a good thing, but nowadays just a guarantee of seemingly inevitable and unending disappointment, could possibly be ending this season after 20 years in charge, but that may come as too little too late to keep Alexis, who’s fresh off of a training ground row with his teammates and several weeks of general sulking on and off the pitch.

Sanchez’s contract is set to expire next summer — so they’re a good 8-9 months past the ideal renewal time — and while earlier rumors claimed that the Chilean superstar was demanding upwards of £300,000 per week, according to the Guardian, those demands are more like “just” £250,000. However, they are supposedly non-negotiatable.

Either figure is likely to be outside the boundaries of Arsenal’s much vaunted wage structure, which opens up possibilities for other rich teams like Chelsea. The Guardian does claim that there’s supposedly “a massive offer from a rival club on the table” for Alexis, which basically means that it’s either the Blues or the red half of Manchester, two of Arsenal’s classic modern rivals and one of just a handful of teams who could afford to pay that much to a 28-year-old.

While £250,000 would make Alexis just about the highest paid player at Chelsea, it would not be tremendously more than we’re paying Hazard or Costa or Fàbregas. While there are no doubt plenty of other big clubs tracking the situation — Juventus are often brought up, for example — all in all, Arsenal's woes could very well become Chelsea's fortune next summer.



Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United, FA Cup: Post-match reaction

Going to Wem-ber-ley!

After the back-n-forth of the first half, the second was all Chelsea, with the winner coming from an unlikely source in N’Golo Kante. With any luck, it could’ve been a lot more — lost count of the number of close calls in front of De Gea’s goal — but a win’s a win, and in the end all that matters.

Onto the semifinals. Wembley, here we come!

Kante has two goals for Chelsea, both against United. We play them again in April, if you want to mark your calendars for N’Golo’s third golo.

United lucky to finish this game with 10 men, let alone 11. For all his complaining about Hazard getting fouled over the past few years, Mourinho set his team out to do just that.

The usual switch to the 3-5-2 didn’t happen until the 80th minute. Zouma the first defensive sub in the last couple minutes after Moses picked up a knock.

The draw for the semifinal round is coming up shortly. One of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Spurs await. Tough matchups, either way.

Next up: Stoke City away on Saturday, then it’s a two-week international break.
KTBFFH.

Trade him with lukaku ok oso.

Maybe we top up another 25-30mil extra for the big man

every fan base got idiots. these are those idiots. abusing and mocking mourinho when he is the best manager we have.
conte hasn't won anything yet, and hasn't won 3 epl with us. some ppl are just salty and bitter for no reason

pity mourinho kena call judas. although im on team #joseout last season, im still respecting him for what he did for us in the past. the two consecutive league title build our reputation in world football.

if costa want to go out next summer, i suggest we go all in for aubameyang. mobile + strong striker + better technical skills. 100million also ok.

last season obviously some players in chelsea did it on purpose to make JM sacked, which is the same what happening in leicester now...
nowadays players think they are bigger than the club and thought they can do whatever they want, which i think this is not a healthy environment within the club and for long term...

club is above everything, not the manager nor the players.

Dont really know what happen behind the scene. for me personally, mou got the biggest slice for the slump. his stubbornness and keep on playing the same useless tactic each game really ruin the team. the only option is to axe him.

the team still shit after his departure and never really recover. getting result here and there but still shit overall.

Kante shud been nerfed...

Hes so OP 😂

TLDR:
- Conte expresses dislike for Mou aggressive tactics on our players during FA match. He says they kick Hazard from start till match concluded.
- Conte further defends referee decision to red card MU's Herrera. That why he argues with Mou on the sidelines.
- Our club legend Ruud Gullit says he surprised Conte not utilize 3-4-3 formation earlier in our current season. And only halfway Conte found a good reason to install this formation. When we do not have the ball, he says we look like 5-4-1 formation.
- Everton tries to negotiate new contract with Lukaku by including this get-out clause at £90m. They feel MU and Chelsea can afford to pay £60m-£70m clause.
- Alan Shearer comments on our FA cup match against MU. He says Herrera knows his duty well in this match; to stop Hazard. We are lucky to have Hazard who is our Magician full of tricks movements.
- Frank Lampard comments says our team togetherness and special players we have, that is why our club performance is good this season.
- Someone ask Conte to choose between Kante and Pogba. Conte does not want choose one, he says both are good in different characteristics.

Antonio Conte slams Jose Mourinho and Man United's players: This really angered me
ANTONIO CONTE has slammed Manchester United's aggressive tactics during their FA Cup clash last night.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte slammed Jose Mourinho and Man United's players
Chelsea beat the Red Devils 1-0 last night to reach the semi-finals of the competition thanks to an N'Golo Kante winner.

United went down to 10 men in the first half when Ander Herrera saw red after picking up a second yellow card.

The Spain international booted Eden Hazard to the floor - a place where the Chelsea star spent most of his night.

And Blues boss Conte has slammed Jose Mourinho's tactics, claiming United's game plan has no place in football.

"My point of view is this: They've got to play football, and my players want to play football," said Conte.

"For 20 or 25 minutes, it was impossible for Eden Hazard to play football. I see only that he got a lot of kicks.

"But I don't think I'm crazy and I see only him in this situation. Hazard, for 25 minutes, it was impossible for him to play football. Only kicking.

"He started the game receiving kicks, and he finished receiving kicks. No one person can say this did not happen.

"Was that United's tactic? I don't know. But this tactic, to play by going to kick the opponent, does not exist. It's not football for me.

"I don't think this can be a tactic. This is the truth. Everyone saw this. I think sometimes, when you play against players with great talent, you try and intimidate these players.

"I think the referee must protect this type of player."


Antonio Conte discusses Ander Herrera's red card after FA Cup clash
ANTONIO CONTE says Manchester United's fouls stopped Eden Hazard from playing and a decision had to be made.

Red Devils star Ander Herrera saw red in the second half after a foul on Hazard - his second yellow card.

Jose Mourinho and Conte had a furious row on the touchline minutes after the dismissal.

But the Chelsea boss has defended referee Michael Oliver, claiming United's stars forced him to make a huge decision with their rash tackles.

"I think Hazard started the game and couldn't play," said Conte.

"All the people look at this and then judge."

Chelsea will face Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final, with the winner playing the victor of Manchester City vs Arsenal.

Chelsea haven't looked back since, storming to a 10-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

And Blues hero Gullit says Conte was waiting for a good reason to change to his favourite formation.

"It's not a particularly adventurous tactic because when Chelsea don't have the ball, it's 5-4-1.

Star man's contract talks halted with Man United and Chelsea watching
TALKS over Romelu Lukaku's new Everton contract have reportedly halted after the club's buy-out clause insistence.

By James Walters / Published 14th March 2017

Will Everton star Romelu Lukaku join Man United or Chelsea?
The Toffees star is set to pen a bumper new deal at Goodison Park, keeping him on Merseyside for the long term.

However, the Daily Telegraph say Everton's bid to finalise the contract has been put on hold by refusing to insert a buy-out clause below £90m.

And they say Manchester United and Chelsea are keeping watch on Lukaku's situation.

Everton don't want to agree a new contract with their star man to make it easier for him to jump ship to one of the Premier League big boys.

The Telegraph add that Everton chairman Bill Kenwright will not agree to a £60m-£70m clause because he feels United and Chelsea are willing to pay that fee.

Putting Lukaku's get-out clause at £90m means the buyer will have to pay a world record fee.


Man United can’t complain: This was simply stupid to do against Chelsea - Alan Shearer

ALAN SHEARER has branded Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera as “stupid” for getting himself sent off at Chelsea.

The Spaniard repeatedly gave away free-kicks during the first half as Manchester United aimed to shut Chelsea down.

But Antonio Conte’s side were given the boost they needed with just 35 minutes gone when referee Michael Oliver issued a second yellow card to Herrera.

United were incensed by the decision as the final foul on Eden Hazard was soft, however the accumulation of fouls was Herrera’s undoing.

Jose Mourinho was reluctant to comment on the decision after the game, but Shearer pointed blame solely at the United player.

Oliver had warned United’s men they were edging close to the line, and Sheerer feels Herrera effectively gifted Chelsea a route to victory.

"Yes for me [he should have been sent off], you can't complain with that one at all [the first booking],” Shearer told BBC Sport.

"I think he knows what he is doing there, he's stopping Hazard.

"And the second one, I know he hasn't made a foul since his yellow card, but the referee is talking to them about constantly fouling Hazard.

"Stupid, he knows he is on a yellow card."

N’Golo Kante’s second-half strike clinched the 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge and earned Chelsea a semi-final tie with Tottenham at Wembley.

Frank Lampard has hailed Chelsea's togetherness
The Blues look nailed on to claim Premier League glory this term as they currently hold a ten-point lead at the top.

The west Londoners have enjoyed a remarkable run of form following Antonio Conte's decision to switch to a 3-4-3 formation in the aftermath of September's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Chelsea legend Lampard says their team unity is the reason why they have been so impressive in recent months.

He told the BBC: "From early in the season, Chelsea changed after a big loss at Arsenal and went to three at the back.

"They keep churning out the same performances and results now.

"They have togetherness, they defend and attack as a team.

"They have special players who can win games."

Chelsea travel to Stoke on Saturday as they return to Premier League action.

Conte's men claimed a comfortable 2-1 win over West Ham in their last top-flight outing.

ANTONIO CONTE has hailed N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba as "two top players".

By Jamie Styles / Published 13th March 2017

Kante, 25, has played an important role in Chelsea's return to the top of the Premier League table this season.

The midfielder has missed just one league game for the Blues since his arrival from Leicester last summer.

Pogba meanwhile, is starting to find his feet back at Old Trafford.

He has made 39 appearances across all competitions during his second spell with the Red Devils, scoring seven goals and assisting five in the process.

The pair of Frenchman are likely to go head-to-head when Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge tonight.

And speaking ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final clash, Conte, who worked with Pogba at Juventus, has refused to chose between the two.

"They are two different players with different characteristics," said the Blues boss, speaking to the club's official website.

"It’s very difficult to try to compare Paul and N’Golo – two top players but with different characteristics."

Good job on the headlines and news article

During 90 minutes game, he is our rival

But off the pitch, I still respect him and thanks him for the glory he brought to us

On separate news.

Essien is playing with Persib Bandung (indonesian club) now.

apart from our defensive prowess, i have to say i'm quite impressed by how the team kept their heads / tempers in check for 90 minutes. i mean..it would be much easier to snarl and scream towards the officials (granted, conte was doing it at the sidelines ) for every united foul, but the boys kept calm and i have no doubt in my mind conte hammered home this message into their heads before kickoff.

two incidents which underlined the players' attitude imo was that disgusting 2 footed lunge from valencia on kante (which could've been a leg-breaker on another day) which miraculously missed him by inches, and rojo's stamp on hazard. now don't tell me all our players missed both incidents, and even if they somehow did, the victims (kante and eden) were well within their rights to react badly to such challenges (if u can call them that).

however, they CHOSE not to and it's lovely to see that level of professionalism and discipline. God knows what the ref would've done if kante or eden so much as shoved their perpetrators away, seeing as to how he inexplicably signaled that valencia 'went for the ball' after his lunge. we could've easily been down to 10 men ourselves, but that didn't happen because the lads were focused. gotta give them credit for that, because i've seen friendly futsal matches descend into fistfights for much,much less.

Not suprise...part of mou playbook when playing more superior opponent...

Have to admit even we did it during mou days again some top teams like barca...backfire badly though most of the time

playing with that style is always a gamble, if we didnt play like that we have maybe 20% chances, but if we do it properly the odds are always 50/50. A flip of a coin..one moment changes the outcome of the game..

The players saw Conte like gone mad at sideline, so they kept their calm

Yeah

Cant believe conte stand up to mourinho like that. Because in his PC hes been avoiding the mind games I though hes taking a taichi approach. Just brush it away

Somehow I felt happy conte fight with mourinho on pitch. Shows he really care about his players.

Jose always use PC to defend his player to kacau other team but Contw really work his wonder on the pitch. Less controversy more focused on result and performance

Its funny how mu fans trying to act cute and how they were robbed due to bad ref etc etc

How many times did rojo missed red card this season due to bad tackles? 3 matches iinm

Vs palace
Vs zaha
And hazard last night

Just fyi
United had kept very tight on Hazard, who was fouled four times in the first half, more than any other player on the pitch.

move on la deyy
