The Liquidator

I think he's an overrated tactician because Mourinho has always been excellent at coaching one side of football, defensive organization. When it comes to coaching organized attacks and build up from the back he's extremely average when compared to the other elite coaches. This is one of the reasons for his declining success in the last 6/7 years as football at the highest level has gone in a different direction. His motivation/man management skills is currently the weakest aspect of his coaching. How can you rate him in that regard after all the chaos he has wrought in his last 3 jobs with Cristiano/Ramos/Casillas at Madrid, Hazard, female doctor at Chelsea and Pogba among others at United? And he faced no one in the Europa league run. All these considered it was even a lighter touch than what we had last year. Facing a bunch of Ajax toddlers in the finals.

Look at the state of this guy lmao. He doesn't even look happy despite the fake smile. Deep down, if his ego will allow him , he knows he's a washed manager

Compare his conduct to Chelsea legends like JT, Lamps, DD, Eden, Zola, Joe Cole etc Players who won't be caught dead in Spurs uniform. Just the biggest mercenary and egomaniac in modern football history.

Very odd appointment. It really is a step down from Poch to Jose. Jose will try and be a good boy for the 1st year or so like he always does but watching the chaos that will inevitably ensue when he and Levy collide over transfers should be pure comedy. Mourinho is washed at the top level. Since 2012, the only meaningful title he's won is the Premier league with us which Hazard carried him to. (I was watching some old matches from that season just a few weeks ago and the football was shocking, much worse than I remembered). Hazard gave everything including his body that 2nd half of that season, create, score, assist, ball carry, start attacks, track back.... It probably cost him physically the following season with some others as well. Mourinho also won a Europa league with United albeit with a ridiculously easy run, they faced no one throughout the tournament. As for expecting loyalty from Jose towards us. Maybe this will take his blind acolytes among us down a peg..... oh they're still out there. Mourinho does NOT GIVE A FLYING f**k about us. He's all about his ego and self preservation. How some still don't understand that is beyond me but some have their idols they've already made to infallible gods i guess.

Giroud is better than Morata becuase unlike Morata he lets Hazard get into the game and we need Hazard back again firing at least until we can start desperately scrambling for a striker (as we seem to always do) (Pedro needs to start instead of Willian) (Giroud needs to start ahead of Morata)

He's a very good manager but like many very good managers, he's failing at the easy parts of the job. He needs to start picking the right players not the notoriously fraudulent ones ,(Willian, Morata and Alonso being the biggest of the 3) . These 3 players in particular are undoing a lot of the hardwork he does in the training ground. The moment Morata and Willian especially started to see heavy minutes, our form has dropped. We were getting better results and playing better football with Pedro and Giroud. Sarri needs to trust them more.

Hazard was the reason why we were winning games we are now losing or drawing earlier in the season. Sarri needs to wake up and stop handicapping his star player next to Morata and Willian. Anytime Hazard - Morata - Willian start, we only ever get negative results. We need to stick to Hazard - Giroud- Pedro like Klopp sticks to his front line and stop rotating like Pep does. We simply don't have the horses in attack for any sort of rotation in PL games. Morata and Willian should start in the Europa league and league cup from now on. That's their level

He was blinded by his 2 goals against the Europa league team and Southampton despite Morata missing numerous other chances in both games, offering nothing upfront and generally being the worst player in those matches. I never thought I will see a striker that was worse than Torres was for us. Morata right now is the worst striker we've had in quite some time. What I hate most about him is that he's also a pussy. Zero fight or aggression in him (except when he rolls over like a bitch and cries to the ref about rough treatment). He's soft and absolute garbage. It's hard for me to see him ever turning it around here. We need to cut our losses with him.

I notice his thread is very quiet after another predictable mediocre game. This guy is almost as big a problem as Morata, the only difference is, unlike Morata he can easily be replaced by a better player who scores goals. Willian after 5 years at Chelsea has scored 26 goals in 174 games in the league for Chelsea. He's never, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong, been a crucial part of Chelsea winning anything important in his time here. Starting him and Morata in the same game is a recipe for failure. The complete toothlessness of our attack led to United being braver in the 2nd half and they outclassed us. Morata offers nothing in attack, kills all our attacks, can't bring Hazard into play. Willian is harmless on the right flank for the most part and is the most inconsistent player in our recent history. I'm just sick and tired having to endure watching these two FRAUDS start important games when we have better players on the bench.

Please don't ever put Eden's name next to Salah's again. That's massively disrespectful to Hazard. Salah had one good season that was hid purple patch, Hazard has a rather extensive body of work. He's been doing it since he was 19:

When was the last time Chelsea played in that manner vs a top 6 team? Sarri is a god. That was breathtaking to watch, the best I've seen since the days of Vialli and Gullit though a very small sample size so far. The superiority we showed over them in terms of just pure football in that first 40 minutes reminded me of the 5-0 game against Everton. It was the best football I've seen vs a big 6 team since..............I can't really remember. Usually our wins in big games, virtually all of them in the last 6 years have come from counter-attacking efforts. This was a purely possession based footballing effort. The final possession stats was 63% CFC vs 37% Arsenal. We completed 719 passes to their 424. Arsenal could barely get out of their half in the 2nd half and only made about 3 or 4 forays forward all half. Defensive improvements will come with time. It's logical that switching from the rudimentary style of Mourinho and Conte to a more expansive and comprehensive style of play will require a season and several transfer windows. It happened with Klopp. It happened with Guardiola 2 seasons ago. I am looking forward to this season more than any other in recent years. Enough of that defend deep all game, scared to play crap. We're finally playing like a big team is supposed to play.

I hate him. He looks like he doesnt even want to be here. f**k him

Fekir, Martial even Dembele at Barca if possible. And in a year or 2, Hudson Odoi will own the left wing.

One of the top 5 players to ever play for Chelsea. Only JT, Lamps and Didier ahead of Eden. Just a few days ago some (i know just a few but still) were questioning his legendary status at the club. If this is his last game for Chelsea I'm happy to see him leave on a high. Shame we never built a truly top quality team around him or employed the right type of (attacking) manager post 2012/Eden Hazard era to build something truly special. We can only imagine what could have been if Hazard had played alongside the likes of A young Didier and Lamps, Ballack, Robben, Essien and so on.
