La Pulga

you played some great football in mourinho's first year. with duff, robben, cole, drogba, gudjohnson, lampard. that was attacking football at its finest.

do you think in pre roman era, someone in the states would have known chelsea as a football club or as a borough of manhatten? pretty sure barca was great and known in the world before the success of the last years.

a club that played the best football over the last 20 years annd probably even longer and a country that dominated football for the last 10 years.

are you kidding? not wanting suarez? probably the best forward in the world. but tell me, in which country did costa play before joining your club? pretty sure that he was someone who acted pretty good in spain und your supporters chant his name....so please, stop with this silly argument. you would buy them in a heartbeat, if they would be willing to join your club.

you would be more than happy to have these players at your club. I mean, you took Pedro, pretty sure he was a cry baby in your eyes too..

problem is, that some members here, are not able to read properly. I've not sh*tposted here. But the response here were sh*tposting.

prove it

come on, you can do better. why did you ignore my post above? i dont give a sh*t, about your club's history,as you dont give a sh*t about my clubs history. but i hate hypocritical arguments/people. we had some great games against each other in the past. and as mourinho was coach of our arch rival real madrid, i got a bit of a taste in what's like, when everything falls apart. That exactly happend at real madrid. he fought against everyone, players, media, fans...and the same happens now again.

that's sweet coming from a supporter, who's club rose to fame because of an russian oligarch. you should ask your owner how generous he paid taxes and how fair he earned his money in his native russia.

did you forget the fact that you have diego costa upfront?

this year, you'll be happy, if you dont go down..

third year syndrom

ancelotti or hiddink

I can guarantee you with a new manager, chelsea will win again.

he's gone. international break will give new manager some kind of time to make some changes. just like liverpool did with klopp.

Well...for example. Jose criticized Hazard for his lack of defensive work. He got substituted and even got benched. Criticizing a player/worker in public or in front of the team/entire work force, can have a positive influence, it can also have a negative influence. Hazard was one of the best players last season. Hazard could think of himself as an "untouchable" player/work force. He might think that he should be free of defensive work or other stuff in terms of tactics. There's also the factor that other clubs/companies could have shown interest in him. That could have also a negative influence on him. Playing with the option to leave the club/company. That's why it doesnt really matter, how many trophies Jose won, those trophies wont count anymore, when most of your players/workers are finished with you.

Well, you probably had some bad work days. Days in which you didnt really perform. Everyone has those days. Question is whether your still can identify yourself with your company, the goals and also with the vision of your boss. As long as you can do that, there's no problem, but if you dont, one has to go, depends most of the time, who's the person that the company can let go ;) The same goes for football clubs.

The big and most important question will not be whether Roman will lose his patience, it is whether the players are willing to work with Jose and turn things around. I mean getting the 4th place is still possible. If you reach the 5-8 spot in the league before the end of the year, reach the knock out stage of CL, you could buy 1-2 good players in January for the league and challenge for the 4th spot. It's not impossible. Just look at the table, Manchester United is not that strong and struggles, because of LvG and his tactics. Only City and Arsenal are a lock for the CL spots, all other teams above you are not that special. But as I said, it only works if the players are not fed up with Jose.

I think most of your fans are grateful for what Jose and the players did last season. But they also recognize that most of the problems this season are home made and Jose has his fair share. There's no debate about the things Jose handled wrong. He could have shut up about complaining about refrees, managers, players, the media and other stuff. You can talk about those stuff endless, when your winning, because no one can touch you, but when you losing, you should keep your mouth shut. I mean, just take his press conference today. He always thinks that everyone is against him, not realizing that he made a fool of himself many times and most of the things could have been avoided, if he showed some other behaviour.

Ivanovic, JT, Matic, Fabregas, Mikel, Cahill, Ramires, Oscar, Willian....these players were never world class...or some of them are not world class (JT, Fabregas) anymore.

He needs to change his behaviour. That's one of the reasons why everything is going down with your club.

He will be gone in summer, if Jose stays.

I dont see any creativity in your game. The only player who could provide something is Hazard. Clearly Hazard is not in good shape. That leaves you with nothing.

good sign, if he really is in control of transfers, this might turn good.
