I went to west brom game after mourinho complained about the crowd an it was a good atmosphere. Yesterday at the Bradford game, nothing. It was embarrassing how quiet the home end were. If you're not going to chant, don't go. Watch it on TV because that might be why we are losing these games because Bradford had a crowd who made them seem as if they were playing at home. Awful, the atmosphere needs improving drastically.

In the first half Chelsea looked labored and didn't seem like they wanted to score a goal. They wouldn't break quick enough to pose a threat. Against opposition like Maribor, Chelsea should be winning by at least 3 goals. Mourinho talked about how he wants his team to respect the opposition and believe it will be a tough game. However I don't think this helps as the team had too much respect and tried to break them down like an Arsenal or City. I think he should be telling his team to be ruthless and make them believe that they will win every game. I do take into account that that adds complacency but making them respect the oppositon isnt working and almost caused a slip up against Shrewsbury last week

Ivanovic has helped Chelsea quite a bit going forward, he sometimes lacks the defensive positioning. However, I feel that because of his determination, there has to always be a place for him and the only way I see Luis getting a chance at the moment is if there is an injury to any of the back 4. If JT or Cahill get injured then Ivanovic should play cover at CB, whilst Azpi moves back into his favoured RB position and Luis down the Left. The only thing is that he might want to give Zouma a chance.

Luis seemed to be a good buy for around £20 million. He knew about Costa and how to get the best out of him. Also, unlike Azpilicueta, could put crosses in to find Costa. But with only one start, against Schalke in the champions League, he is beginning to look like a waste of talent and money.
