Can't believe I'm saying this but I think they're in worse shape than us now, their troubles haven't progressed nearly as far. Us beating them could lead to LVG being fired and them appointing our man. How about that, if we lose LVG stays on through the end of the season and maybe Jose goes somewhere else...

I agree with most of what you said but Roman simply cant allow the club to be relegated and that's the real risk with doing nothing.

I cant believe it. I thought he had turned the players around and we were going to start winning again and claw our way out of trouble. Then again I've been thinking that for the past few games. Jose statement today essentially slamming the players must mean he knows he is done, it has to. I'm sick to my stomach.

I have felt for weeks that Jose has lost part of the locker room. It showed in one of the losses we had a few weeks ago where we were behind by 1 goal and the lads were passing the ball around like they had the lead and not pushing forward. So I suspect then that some of them are playing to see Jose get fired and then will turn it on again and we will avoid relegation, trouble is, how long will that be as I cant see Jose turning the team around if some of them don't want to play for him.

*sigh* I sigh on so many levels. The team has transformed. We all know there is more to this than the players performance. Jose (our Jose) is having the worst spell of his managerial career. Do you all think the season is done for? Lets be honest, it will take a major turnaround for us to make a Champions league spot. That said it can be done. I'm not here to harp on about that though, I'm here because every day I check the news a little piece of me expects to see that Jose has been axed. Having lived through 25 years of the old Chelsea never winning anything, it truly hurts me to suspect Jose could be gone at any time. We need to toughen up and shout our support for Jose. If he goes almost no other serious (decent) manager would be interested in our club. Jose has hit rock bottom, he has made some serious mistakes from player selection to managing the back office and the way he keeps getting into it with the FA is draining, for him and all of us. Whatever sh*t is going on in the locker room will pass, we'll have some new faces this winter alongside many of the existing ones. Sure this sh*t sucks a season after winning it all but we've had worse MUCH worse, so suck it up, enjoy not knowing if we'll win every week and tell all those f-uckers who sing "where were you when you were sh*t" - I WAS HERE, RIGHT F-UCKING HERE. CFC forever!

Its mathematically possible and as long as it is we will have a chance but if I ground myself (sigh) then I'd have to say we're performing poorly in too many positions and the likelihood that we will won is slim, top 4 finish is a must and I think we'll do that and maybe a domestic cup to boot.

Too funny

Kept checking the news, right up until the end. Sigh.

city's form wont last but we need changes in defense (Ivan) and a midfielder added ASAP then we need the team to shake of the funk, that's what it is and we can start winning again.

Sad but very true and funny I needed a chuckle.

Seriously where has Hazard been of late, barely ,making any plays in and around the box and today he and Pedro barely touched the ball compared to, Willian, Matic, Cesc who all had too many plays compared to those two. Want to get back to winning use the two best creative players we have and f-ing attack!

40 mil is too much for Stones, has to be other options out there for less money.

When will he start?

Good signing, great piece of business.

I love Willian but I have to admit now his days at the Bridge are numbered.

F-ing A - Welcome to Chelsea Pedro. I hope his direct style of play remains and that Hazard does more of what he did in the second half. We'll terrorize the league.

I hate them, signed and forwarded to many other people to sign. Only 21k sigs thus far, need 100k so tell your friends and relatives to sign it too.

When will he be able to start?

LOL, yeah, 3 folks now, made me bust up too

A strong winning performance in this game and we can put the past few weeks behind us. We are still Champions and we will be back!

His lack of pace is now even more telling than previous season's. Its sad but we need to upgrade.

F-ing exactly right and that's Jose's doing! Ramires made so many mistakes I stopped counting. 2 weeks of the transfer window left, hope we act decisively while we still can.

Lets hope he scores a goal early otherwise I fear a long season for him and us.

I think we all know this but those clamouring for signings wanted to see us strengthen the midfield and ensure we have a solid player up front if Costa goes down.

I like this kid Kennedy, he went out there to show how passionate he is and that goes a long way with Jose and all of us. As many here said though very raw but I think we either turn him into a starter in a cpl seasons or we make bank on him, either way good for us.
