Begovic man of the match!!!! ... by far!

 

Switch ivanovic with Azpi - Azpi with Baba!

 

Sign Pogba for Oscar! (let him switch)

 

Sign Stones.

 

All in all, i really felt Jose used this to get his board to sign (PAY - I know times our tough in Russia due to Sanctions and currency devaluations! But come on Roman.... Step u!! ) for new players!!

 

* Harsh on John... But maybe its time?!

**NOT happy with Fab either!

We look ill prepared, tactically naive, nothing fresh to offer and crazily off the pace.

Jose and his team have their work cut out if they want to win something this season......still have hope

Well my heart is sunk like when your first girlfriend dumps you, now to cheer me up I have to go and run some bollox errands for my missus and suffer a kids party....take care lads

I will have whatever jose is smoking. f**k me we were better in the 2nd half?!! we conceded two goals so obviously not!

Why doesn't Jose just say the better team won and we got spanked rather that all the crap he has been spewing out this week.....well at least he admits JT is slower than Zouma..

The only reasonable solution with the players we have is to drop the holy cows to the bench or from the team all together (Terry, Ivanovic, Willian, Ramires, maybe even Costa) and give the new guys a runout. My team for the next game:

 

Begovic

Azpi - Cahill - Zouma - Baba

Matic - Fabregas (or Mikel)

Moses - Hazard - Kennedy

Remy (or Traore)

 

BENCH: Blackman, Terry, Ivanovic, Loftus Cheek, Costa, Traore (or Remy), Mikel, Willian

 

Courtois is back for the next game. I don't think it's "reasonable" to drop Costa for our next game away to West Brom, or to switch 5 (or 6) players as you suggest. That seems a bit knee-jerk. Ivanovic is definitely under pressure, though.

 

As a separate point, I think it's unlikely that Jose will select Matic--Fabregas in the two for our next big away fixture. I guess he'll opt for Matic--Zouma or Matic--Mikel.

Stones Baba Pogba Greizmann and we are champions league winners.

 

I'm not so sure. I'd also like to add Messi, Bale and Reus. That Aguero chap seems quite useful, so let's get him, too, just to be on the safe side.

I don't understand people who are blaming our lacklustre performance on our failure to sign new players.

This could explain why we haven't improved like other teams clearly have, but surely it can't explain why we have regressed?

With no new influx we should at worst be at the same level with that logic, but we're not.

The individual class from Hazard, Cesc, Costa etc. is lacking, and I'm hoping they can find it sooner rather than later.

A lack of new signings, means no competition for places, which leads to complacency. Add the fact we think we can win the title by showing up for the season 2 weeks late, and all of sudden there is talks of a crisis.

Be strong mate. Be strong

I wish Mourinho would stop embarrassing himself in the post match interviews. Just admit that they were clearly the better team and deserved to win. FFS.

Jose should please bring Mikel back to the starting line up with the poor form of Fabregas. I will rather we start grinding out 1-0 wins than continue relying on Fabregas to replicate last season's form.

Terry seems already to have been dropped, but I guess he can stay.

Willian, Cuadrado and Ramires have no business in the first team, so these players need to be replaced for the next game. OK, lets stick with most of the assured players (Hazard, Fabregas, Costa), but Moses for one really deserves to get a run out. I also believe Remy looked much more sharper in preseason than both Falcao and Costa.

Mikel won't do sh*t.

Quinn is arguing his part well, and he is convinced JT is shot..

 

not shot, but his legs are definitely gone. he definitely prevents us from playing a more (not much, but  a little more) attacking game, so it's no wonder we played a little more open 2nd half. i think this season is certainly his last, but we have no one as back up barring zouma.
