Good performance from the team, great performance from the crowd, giving the manager the support he deserves and seeing him appreciate it like that in a difficult moment was great to see. Now the club should follow and actually support him in every aspect, none of this board/Emenalo/default options bullsh*t. We have the best in the world, let him make a proper omelet. Willian is fantastic, ability, attitude, positive energy on the team. JT, Zouma, Azpi, Ramires and Matic all with good performances. Baba with his first good performance at this standard, that's more like what we should expect from him and he should improve over time. Costa getting the ball on the wing is not what I want to see, he's a finisher, his overall game is based on smart movement and aggression. Most of the time you're not going to get a clever pass or dribble from him to create space, he's working hard but lacking confidence. Stay in the middle and make the runs, build up play is usually not his game. Hazard coming on for the last 10 minutes and seeing Willian take over as the main attacking player might help him get the drive and motivation back. No more half-asleep performances, he's too good for that, only a matter of time before we see him back to his best. Terry and Matic started this process, he's next.

Brilliant PC from the manager and captain. These two are the most influential personalities to get us out of it. they have 100% trust to turn this around. JT's attitude was spot on. Any distraction should be removed and hopefully we start seeing Mourinho get the real support he deserves in January.

I'm sure Jose understands the situation, this is the perfect time for all the opportunistic rats to come out when he's going through a bad time professionally. He should take it as a compliment and motivation, when he's at the top again very soon and kicks them back to their holes, it'll be much more enjoyable. Get this man back to this club in any way possible. Should have never left, he still had plenty to offer on the pitch in the right situation and his influence is invaluable. Should be here in the same way Giggs is now working with Van Gaal. Jose/Lampard team leading us to trophies is something I would like to see.

Why are we believing some clueless journalist trying to ride the wave of attention with typical, dramatic garbage? I thought it was after Saturday, now it's Wednesday, then Sunday... I want to believe Roman and whoever makes the decisions in this club aren't completely stupid to make the biggest mistake in club history again, and this time there's no way back and there's not the same type of strong and united group. Fergie also confirmed in his new book that he tried to get Mourinho but he told him that he's coming back to Chelsea two years ago. Jose should get the authority to clean this mess, to get rid of some people in the board and the playing staff and make it a winning machine again, 3 titles in 5 seasons, compared to 3 months of bad results? No discussion. Mourinho is not going anywhere.

JT gave Mourinho his full support in every interview he did. He gives everything, if you look at the reactions nobody cares more than him after we concede. He's still the same player that was incredible last season, Gullit called him the best CB in the world just before the Swansea game, nothing changes in two months. Should still be the first name in the team as he will be the one with the most influence to get us out of it.

If that player exist, he should never play for this or any other club again. I risk saying that because I know who it is not. You can see who are the players giving everything they have on the pitch, you can see the frustration in some of the reactions. On the other hand, you can see the apathy and laziness in others, players who aren't and never will be Chelsea. That's just highlights why the club need to support Jose and let him clean the dressing room from the core, replace the soft personalities with hungry and determined workers with something to prove. Another point is that we desperately need to bring back the real blood and passion for this club, it's no coincidence that it's the first season without the majority of them. They aren't just special players but special people that we were lucky to have and made a huge mistake not doing everything we can to keep them in the system. Lampard, Drogba and Cech are 3 examples that we'll use to compare to any player that plays for this club, present and future, we had them with plenty to offer and let them go when we could have done more to find a role for them. Now we have to wait for their contracts but the moment it happens, they should be here in positions that allows them to influence. Let Mourinho identify the problems and solutions and support him in the rebuilding process starting in January, there's no other positive scenario for the good of the club.

Any scenario other than the club showing Mourinho full support and we ruined the long term future of this club as long as Roman is the owner. Jose was and still is the best we can have. Yes, we need some changes but he's the one to make it. Bring back the giants that are Lampard and Drogba back to the system and start to rebuild the squad , get rid of players who look like someone forced them to play, bring some mental strength back.

Start the movement in January, clean the dressing room from the Fabregas' type and bring mentally strong players who want to play and sacrifice for this team. Try to bring back the true personalities that carried this club, Lampard, Drogba and Cech should have never left our system.

Clattenburg is a f**king disgrace, f**king corrupt piece of sh*t, yellow for Mikel for a meaningless touch, a moment later Lucas stops a counter attack in the same way and gets nothing. We get nothing and I doubt it's a coincidence. 90% aren't even performing at half quality, Hazard needs to show he has the mental strength to go with his ability because that's the sign of a top player. Show Mourinho full support and give him everything to fix this mess, starting financially in January.

Terry has been our best CB, any talk of him as "finished" is purely agenda driven or someone just checking the age of the players. Clattenburg is a useless clown.

Like the team, I would go with Matic alongside them but if Jose wanted Oscar there, Ramires and Mikel deserve to start. Tell Oscar to give him his shirt and bring him on to score the winner. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before he comes back, in any capacity.

We're playing much better since Villa, we were unlucky not to get results since then but the performances were good. I want to see Mikel starts and Ramires is one of our best performers right now, we need him as Liverpool are going to try to keep high energy in the match with their pressing. Begovic Zouma Terry Cahill Azpi Matic Mikel Ramires Hazard Costa Willian 2-0.

Yes, and it's not our ruthless, passionate, control freak of a manager because we know that since 2004. I said everything I needed about this situation in the other threads. Good riddance, get a better doctor and move on.

Ramires is a great player to have in a squad, what he lacks in some aspects of his game, he offers in other exceptional attributes. He's a team player that gives everything every game and was a big part in everything we won since he is here.

The positive thing from stories like this is that it usually exposes the true personalities of people. We don't need disloyalty at this club. Funny how predictable it was, she pretty much fell to the media noise as expected, probably without realizing that nobody really cares about any name in this saga other than Jose's. Mourinho said that he'll speak when it's the right time, I expect to hear more details that led to this situation as obviously it wasn't only that. The moment she starts with lawsuits against her employers, she's doing damage to her career if she has any plans to continue in the sport, not that I expect any high profile offers after this, done at this level imo.

He is definitely part of the problem, I don't know if he's the main one but it's clear that the board and working process needs rearrangement. It's no coincidence that we bought and sold so many players in such a short time. Talking specifically, people like Emenalo and Granovskaia have no credibility getting involved in any professional discussion, they're club workers from different reasons, nothing more than that. In the last two seasons Jose had to sell big to buy big and in the process trying to fix the imbalance that was in the squad before him. He mostly bought replacements in response, sometimes with lesser quality with the biggest example being this season. The moment you see a clear pattern that the manager is getting players he doesn't trust and sells them after 6 months, you know there's a real problem from people who have no qualification to do their job unless their role is a clear go and do instruction from the manager. And if that's the case, they're failing anyway as the manager was organizing and sending his report months in advance just to get random last minute attempts in the final hours of the window. Someone needs to go or something needs to change, give the manager full control over the professional side of the game and almost as important, give the manager full support financially because he didn't get it since he came back, especially if you look at his competition. If you don't invest according to your ambitions, don't expect to magically dominate every year. Mourinho led Chelsea to the most dominant PL title in history last season while making a profit, if someone in the board got carried away and forgot the reality of the football market in 2015, they need to wake up.

Terry, Willian and Azpi were great second half. We're not getting enough from Hazard and Costa. Played much better without Fabregas. We need to hold on, we lost nothing yet.

The ref was weak, naive and a f**king c**t. Nothing goes our way, even this goal line machine is against us. The positives is that some players actually showed some pride and commitment in the second half, Terry, Willian and Azpi had great games. This period needs to end somewhere, fully support the manager.

Finally something goes right

The players are letting the manager down, there's no excuse for some things. Along with a clown of a referee and we're in a complete mess in this game. Still time, show some fight and commitment.

For "youngsters" to play first team football for a club like Chelsea they don't need to be good, not even a league above their teammates, they need to be exceptional and more importantly better than their competitors for the spots in the first team. We currently have a 20yo CB starting games regularly and a 19yo midfielder starting games in every competition. I've heard years of hype on plenty of players who went on to lesser clubs with less pressure and did nothing but were apparently ready to start here and dominate the world. It's understandable to want to see a young player become a star but reality is different sometimes. Mourinho played and trusted plenty of young players in his career, because they were good enough, he doesn't have an obligation to play young players who he doesn't trust just because they developed a few years at the Chelsea/Inter/Madrid/Porto academy. RLC is good enough, that's why he's in the first team squad, now it's on him to improve his game year after year.

If you look at every aspect of the game on every level, nobody gets more out of his teams than Mourinho, he has turned reasonable quality to extreme overachievers and great to world's best. If you ask me, he doesn't really have a defined "style of play" (no top manager should have unless it's the basic structure imo), he has methodologies and ethics that he carries with him since the day he started, winning football. Even if Mourinho retires from football tomorrow I wouldn't want Pep anywhere near Chelsea, the way I see it, extremely one-dimensional, don't like him or his football.

To just brand players "world class" is far too simplistic for it to have any meaning. You can have a good player capable of world class performances, you can have top players in bad form or world class players who are starting to fade but are still quality when it matters. For me a world class player is one of the top players in his role who performs consistently at the highest level. Not counting the freak start to this season, in the last two years Terry, Cech/Courtois, Matic, Ivan, Azpi and Hazard were all world class performers, all of them in the world's top 3-5 in their position.

Don't want Pep anywhere near this club, hopefully it never happens. We already have the best in the world, what we probably need is some reorganization of the board and the working process in it.

Complaints about referee decisions are always going to be part of this game, especially as we know with someone as passionate as Mourinho. What isn't part of it is different rules to different people, reactions based on media hype and clear double standards. He's the one experiencing it, I'm not gonna judge him for mocking it and emphasizing his point on any platform he can. I don't see obsession, I think it's a calculated move to deliberately overexpose one example of the ridiculous made up rules of this corrupt organization. Mourinho doesn't like Wenger but he's really just an easy target right now for Jose to make his point about what he sees as injustice. There are just a few points separating Chelsea and Arsenal, Mourinho just won their last game comfortably and is the current champion. I don't see Wenger more relaxed or comfortable when Jose is mentioned, just a few weeks ago he threatened to leave his press conference if another journalist ask a Mourinho question. Wenger just does it subtly in the hope that it goes under the radar, usually there's an easy and harsh answer to most of it and that's what is going to make the headlines.
