Very interesting bench IMO

You have to question the mental capacity of anyone that thinks Mourinho's sacking or Terry's contract were down to Emenalo.

 

They're just so bloody desperate for a scapegoat. But hey, I suppose they might get some new subscribers out of it.

 

 

Bit harsh criticising Chelsea supporters for voicing their opinion in this way.

 

Are you of the opinion that Emenalo must stay or that it is of benefit to the club that he is the senior football person at this club? Unless the answer to either is yes, which is unlikely, then what's your problem with the banner?

[Droogba]

Come on you Blues! We have a match tonight! KTBFFH

[Jamjar1986]

No eden baba or rlc ffs

[EdinburghBlue]

How bad does Matic need to play to be dropped?!

[JoeyN]

No Eden again.

wow.

[dhidza]

I must say I am quite disappointed with this line up today!  This Hiddink guy plays it too safe and he is only concerned about not losing!  He is too concerned about it to the extent that he picks a boring side that kind of shows no ambition.  

 

Matic Mikel,  I mean wtf!!  We just need one holding midfielder against Watford.  These guys have lost 4 of their last 5 games and we go in defensively!  Pick one of them and move on!

 

Hazard needs confidence build up before we meet United.  These are signs that we are going to park it even more against United!!  We did it against Everton and only started playing well after going 2-0 down!  

 

I really love chelsea but we need a manager with balls!  A manager who understands that we are a big club and it should be the opponents who plan to defend agains us not vice versa!  

 

I hope we win anyways and what a shame Baba and hazard are not starting!  Please Please - give us a side that plays with Flair

 

Cortois,  

Azpi Zouma, Cahill, Baba,

Mikel, Cesc,

Willian, Osca, Hazard

Diego

 

And bring in the kids more often when we are leading!  We like to see growth and direction and not this stupid sh*t!!!

Lets see what the game offers. Maybe doing less is more.

He is kind of right though. To believe that Emanelo is the root of this seasons woes can only be an assumption. It's mighty hard to believe that a multi billionaire business man who was sharp enough to make the most of the Soviet break up and maintain that status for 20 years is being played like a fiddle by Emanelo.

Anyway, nice enough lineup tonight, but this along with the weekend is the opportunity to prove we are genuinely getting back on track at last and not just beating lower division sides likeMK Dons and Sc**thorpe. Still feel concerned and thus fear a 2-1 defeat, but come on Chels - prove me wrong!

[EdinburghBlue]

But isn't that him then holding the club, and the team's performances to ransom?

 

I don't want him to leave either, but if there is any chance of this derailing the momentum we have (doubtful) then it's very selfish

If this affects the players to that degree, it would just reiterate how mentally weak we actually are.

It should make no difference to the other players.

Without going over it again, he shouldn't have had to release the statement, the way we treat legends is nothing short of an embarrassment.

[Droogba]

You may be right. We shouldn't be too disappointed given our recent improvement and how many clean sheets now?

[evissy]

Why target Emenalo on JT? Just why?

Hope our lads are fired up and ready to control the ball and really give it all here. They were lucky to score 2 lasy time around.

[enigma]

might see traore tonight as he's the only striker (well, converted striker) on the bench. love to see him score the winner if he does feature.

While I don't agree that he's the cause of all of our problems this year but I do reckon we could get a better DoF or technical director or whatever it is he's meant to do.

[PedroMendez]

I'm going with a bold 4-0 win today I think this team is finding its feet and is looking stable, also Hazard as a super sub can only be a good thing, I expect him to come on and have an impact.

I have put big money and by that I mean a pound on a 4-0 win with Oscar scoring first. If it comes about expect to see my first donation to the site.

COYB! KTBFFH!

[enigma]

anyone have 100% concrete proof that emenalo is one main problem? if not, probably best to stay quiet. 

[dhidza]

You guys could be right.  We may end up winning which i would love - but I guess I am too ambitious.  I look at the last 7 games we haven't lost but we haven't won much either.  We have 13 points from a possible 21.  I think our team should be more ambitious than this - I really hope I am wrong!  Our line up should reflect our muscles, i just feel like we are going into these games with the tails between our legs!  I hope I am wrong!

My problem with it is that it's a reaction to Mourinho's sacking and Terry not getting a new contract. 2 things Emenalo almost certainly doesn't make the final decision in. 

 

A banner calling for him to be sacked, when we have no idea how much or how little power he has, is purely about finding a scapegoat.

[Adam]

That's my point. If we don't actually know what he does, why on earth are we calling for him to be sacked? 

[Nevamind]

You know the match gives us the answer so you may be right with being too cautious.

[Nevamind]

Can with stop with the Emenalo talk. This is the matchday thread.

But it's not just about those two incidents, although they're contributory.

 

It's about the general direction the club has taken, the way it treats the fans, the summer transfer window and numerous other things. Now whilst Emenalo might not be directly responsible for those things, he's the figurehead of a board who are more disconnected from the support than at any time I can remember.

 

As a club with aspirations to be a European giant, we should aim higher than Emenalo and good on the supporters at the matches making the club aware of how we're feeling. 

 

Do you want Emenalo to stay or would you prefer he went and we put someone in place with experience and a proven track record in that position, like other big clubs do?

[dhidza]

Come on you boys!  We need these 3 points - and we need a good display!  3 - 0, Willian, Costa and a Hazard Goal

[TheFunkeyGibbon]

Clearly too young to remember Ken Bates. [emoji57]

Don't really agree with any of that, but lets agree to disagree and leave it there. Besides, the match is starting soon and we're annoying Nevamind.
