Totally agree. Willian is playing really well right now, which is great. It great that he was called up to the Brazil squad. But the price tag was still too much. Willian isn't doing that much more than what Moses could have down if he would have been shown the same faith. They are very similar players and that money could have been spent on an area that is a need.

Good point but when his favorite players are the ones doing those things you just mentioned, they still are getting picked. Nobody slows things down more than Lampard right now. Lampard and Ivan are giving the ball away all the time, yet they are the first ones on the sheet every game.

Jose plays his favorites and always has. It's not going to change. Just like his tactics. He has all these create attackers and he insists on hindering their play by making them play the way he wants them to. Mata and Hazard were pretty darn good last year and he has killed their natural way of playing.

Wow isn't that the truth. Perfect way to describe DKW.

Using November as an excuse is just that...an excuse. It comes down to manager selections and the energy the players are playing with. This was also no fluke or wake up call. The lack of chances have been a problem all year. The confidence of some of our attackers has been shot because of this defending philosophy of Jose. Mata looks different, Hazard looks different, and not for the better. What does that say about Jose?

And the Ivan at RB thing is done. It is such a waste. And we need Luiz and his energy in the game. We play with no heart and energy

Thank f**k for that. Was never a pen. We got very very lucky.

That's because they are all back defending and our best creator is usually on the bench.

Totally deserved today. Jose has been a joke today. Picking Lampard, Not playing Mata. Subbing Mikel for Oscar, Taking Azi off. Letting Ivan go forward and play awful crosses over and over. Ya really good tactics and decisions today.

This. This. This. José has ruined our attacking players. Sitting back and defending is not how to use these players. And his ego is killing this team. Sitting our best player in Mata. Sitting the player with the most heart in Luiz.

Jose getting everything wrong today. The guy needs to get over his ego.

Jose have you gone mad? We are down and you bring on Mikel?

Jose you fool. Get Mata, our best f**king player, on the pitch.

Lampard off. Thank you.

Jose get your head our of your ass and get Mata on. And get Lampard out of there.

What a f**king joke. No heart at all from this team.

Eto'o!!! That's how to do it Hazard. Attack them with some confidence

If I see one more Ivan cross I am going to throw up. They are useless with Eto'o up there. Lukaku isn't there! Stop crossing it. Now get Mata know there and let's break them down.

Get Lampard off right now.

I don't understand José's tactics at all. He is keeping Azpi back and letting Ivan go forward to send useless crosses. Why not put Dave on the right and put Ivan on the left if he is just going to sit back. Dave is miles better than Ivan going forward. And Lampard....bad again today so far.

Lampard again? Jose playing favorites.

You seriously need to get off this weather excuse. It has nothing to do with how our players play. These are professional athletes, not 7 year kids who can't play in the rain or snow because their mother won't let them. Yes, weather is a factor when it comes how how the ball is kicked or how the players keep their footing but this bull about how Brazilian or Spanish players can't the cold is just that..Bull. It didn't seem to effect Ramires, Luiz, Mata and others the last couple years when they were playing the best years of their careers did it?

I don't think he is behind Piazon. Personally, I think the same as you but I don't think Jose is too high on him. He is high on Traore though.

Oh please. You are so far off it's crazy. How about our English midfielder and English left back who haven't played well in long time? Lampard was out worst player again today with all those missed passes. Cole hasn't been good in a year and half and they both just keep getting selected.

Watched the game late and I have to say Jose got it all wrong today. Lampard hasn't been good in a while and he continues to get picked in the first 11. And then a double sub and he takes off Mata and Torres? Ashley Cole is just useless and Bertrand deserves to start. Newcastle played the perfect game and we had no answer. Lampard's constant misplaced passes in the midfield really cost us. The only good thing that came out of the game was Terry. He continues to be a rock. It's too bad the other two "older" players can't pick it up.
