It's not customary for Mourinho to openly criticise a player if he wants to get rid of him.

Apparently he's not impressed with KDB in training sessions nor his performances so far this season.

Jose has stated he wants to get him to work harder and perform better. Perhaps KDB needs time to adjust and improve.

Let's wait and see how much game time he'll get when the season is in full swing.

Said in today's presser that there was no chance KDB was going out on loan and was sure he'd be back in contention after the international break.

You can almost see the media dicks now scouring our squad list to see who they can move onto next. hmm, this Azpilicueta bloke hasnt played much lately, let have some made up bollocks about him next. Apparently he made Jose some sangria but forgot to put a nice slice of apple in so he`s off in January.

The same media dicks that said Jose stormed out of the press conference. Story out of nothing methinks, KDB as others have said needs to knuckle down and show his worth and his chance will come.

Must be really degrading for a 22 year old to train with 21 year olds.

Bit like going out with a 13 year old girl when you're 14,- the stigma.

Very poor! Most, if not all the Chelsea under 21's did not perform like DeBruyne did in the Brundisliga last year now did they?

They are not top performers on their national side, that has been beating all competition either. I seriously doubt that KDB dosen't try to give 100% in training, it's more likely that Mourinho has issues with his defensive mindset, simillar to Matas. Marc Wilmots also knows this, but he uses KDBs main strength as a very direct counterattacking player and has him save his energy for that.

This is good to hear. Glad the lad is committed to working hard and fighting for a place in the team.

Hopefully get a shot at Cardiff

Just scored against Wales for Belgium, assist from... who else... Lukaku.

i so like this guy and want him to succeed at Chelsea.

 

worryingly not on the bench again this week in germany, i do hope Jose has a plan regards kevin.

Might get a run out against the Gooners in the League Cup.

 

Has to take the opportunity much better than when he played against Swindon.  

Seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, hope to see him against Arsenal.

Mourinho said he will get his chances to play, most likely against Arsenal.Lets hope he does well.

Apparently Mourinho was booed at the Belgium game due to his treatment of De Bruyne. Really? I get he was an important part of their qualifying but for Chelsea he hasn't done much. 

 

It's odd though. He practically saved Bremen from relegation last season but hasn't done well here aside from the Hull game.

Well he hasn't been given that much of a chance, and I still can't get my head round Jose's fascination with creative players tracking back. Having 6 creative players was always going to be a nightmare situation and one wonders whose genius idea that was, personally feel he should demand a transfer in Jan but you just know he will turn into another Sturridge/Matic.

Seriously? He's barely f**king played! Gee-so.

Obviously has to lift his level in training. Mata is at the very least making an attempt to do that.

 

Trouble for him is he has no obvious place where he is better than someone else in their position. 

Seriously? He's barely f**king played! Gee-so.

 

...Because Mourinho doesn't like his standard of training -- and in the games he has played he hasn't impressed so... 

Seriously? He's barely f**king played! Gee-so.

When you do naff all against Swindon you can't expect to be trusted in Premier League matches.

Guardiola, Heynckes and Klopp demand it of their attacking players and last I checked they weren't bad managers either

I disagree with that because what those teams technically do is press from the front as a team, they press and hound you around as a pack but you will hardly ever find a Robben, Reus or Ribery playing as wing backs. Fully support Jose but still curious about the instructions the players were given half time against Hull (our finest Half this season and I can remember many people suggesting we were conserving some energy for Bayern), our players played freely and expressed themselves but seems they have been shackled. Personally belief to get the most out of this set of players, you have to allow them to express themselves on the pitch and not worry too much about the opponents game. Why collect Ferraris if you are going to be driving them off-road?

Compare him with Willian and you will see just why the Brazilian plays and KDB doesn't.

Willian's deserved his place in our playing setup. He works his arse off not to mention contributing to our attacks. Not saying KDB wouldn't but he's done something to piss off Mourinho which naturally is a mistake. I don't think that is the reason he is not playing KDB though.

Today's papers report Hazard has advised Kevin to leave the club so he can play and be ready for the world cup.

He's right

KDB needs to step up and do as his told if he wants a place in the team. I noticed how f**king lazy our players are for their national sides, most notably the brazilian players - absolute disgrace!
