Pedro eh? Where was this deal before? Sometimes you cannot blame those who want us to lose so we can be forced to sign players

Arsenal have won the league.

mithel:
I really don't understand all these Mourinho blames med team for draw headlines... These media people are real cunnntc

Nobody is saying anything. Jose said it himself on Sky Sports. He was asked a direct question and he responded who he was screaming at.

Squad‘s painfully thin. One man down and the two we can bring on to attempt stealing the 3 points are Zouma and the dead Falcao.

I really hope we know what we are doing.

Referee needs to be cured of blindness.

Fabregas looks so immobile and slow.

Sh1t

Montero is really disturbing Ivanovic

By the 4th game, fitness should be close to peak levels.

Goaaallllll

Fabregas just strolling in the box when he could have helped.

Goooalll!

Oscar looking lively.

Team Line up

Thibault
Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpi
Matic Fab
Willian Oscar Hazard
Costa

Very uninspiring bench.

Nihilist:
I can only smile at Leicester's blistering start.
Up the Foxes
Let's just hope that Chelsea also do something lovely today

Tell me about it. Blistering start indeed. Looks like they just picked up from where they stopped last season.

Awesome. I did every single one.


I did not see 'the metal hanger and the lid of a plastic paint container' on the list.

bigkesh:
Which of the youth players are they trying to integrate??
Ramirez and Mikel are still blue,how will cheek and colkett play? Boga won't play, Musonda?
If we are selling the idiots and not buying the same quantity, then we can think of integration.....
I can give two different lineups from Midfield to attack without a single youth player....No space for them,the deadwoods are occupying the space

Thank you very much my friend. I was just about to quote Lacer's post.
Which youth is being integrated?

We could have played Colkett/RLC (despite his laziness) instead of Ramires on Sunday.
Traore could have featured.

In pre-season games, how many youth players played after the first game?
Why didn't Jose put an arm around Bamford instead of telling the world how he intends to resuscitate the apparently dead Falcao?


When it comes to youth integration, Jose only talks the talk still.

raumdeuter:
So these are Hazards competition in the EPL attacking midfielder position

Dayo don't you get tired?

bigkesh:
Every Pundit in England is going for Chelsea as EPL champs......
M sure if another manager was in charge of this current squad,We wouldn't be seen as the favourite.......
If we were four points away in his First year with that horrible squad,then we surely can win it again.....

Depth is a big issue...... Let's just hope Moses or Oscar or even Bertrand comes big.....

We are one tackle from 1st to 3rd......One tackle on Hazard or fabregas, that's all.......Costa doesn't need to be tackled,the annoyed Brazilian witches are doing that well

On Point.

dopeJemi:
Call it sh1t or whatever you like man, torres, salah, cuadrado, Shevchenko, even moses who was a beast at wigan


And why did you mention ancient players? Did I even say y'all kill every player's career that come to the club?

Most of those players you mentioned are more like home grown even though some of them aren't

So what is the point if you are not actually saying "kill every player's career"? What is the fvcking point?

Did United kill Anderson's Career? Di Maria's? Falcao's? Zaha's? Kagawa's?, Luke Shaw's? Tosic's? . . Need I go on?


So now I am calling ancient. Perhaps we are kiliing the careers of Hazard, Cortouis, Matic, Fabregas, Cahill, Costa, Willian. Their careers must really be dying.

Onisokuso.

dopeJemi:
It's no news that chelsea is known for killing careers, i'm not trying to insult the club's status or anything but it is a fact that is glaring

But y'all are still a good team

This is why everyone is attacking you. This beer parlour "Chelsea Bad Luck" and "Killing Career" sh1t you continue to spew.
Kill careers like Lampard's? Drogba's? Terry's? Ashley Cole's? Makalele's ?

dopeJemi:
Salah had a good season for his club before y'all bought him, true or false?

What are you talking about? Did you see Salah have a good season or not? And by see, I mean watch Salah in the Swiss league have many good games.

You remember one game of Salah's and that is enough to conclude that he had good form before joining us but bad luck after he joined us. How you come up with these things beats my imagination.

Salah gone on loan to Roma. The Salah and Cuadrado back-to-back signings will go down in the club's history as the most useless back-to-back signings ever made.

Those two players cost close to £40m. We could have bought Sterling with the same money.

Ibime:
Jose did not block the sale of Mikel, Emenalo did by putting £10m value on his head that made Fernebace recoil. A ninja they were willing to give away for £3m to Italian clubs last summer. How can Jose block the sale of a ninja he has no time for, a ninja he constantly benches and a ninja who he prefers Zouma in midfield over? Only Emenalo is protecting that useless lout, just like he offered him 5 year contract late in 2012 when Chelsea did not have a manager to decide on Mikel's future.

The only one I will say Jose joined Emenalo in foolishness is the Ramires issue. Real Madrid made a 30m Euro bid in August last year and Jose said "Ramires is going nowhere". Foolishness.

Despite that, I have read numerous reports that Jose is prepared to sell Mikel, Ramires, Cuadrado and Oscar. Who is preventing all these sales? These motherfvckers are blocking our progress in vital areas of the team.

Honestly, I will never write off Joses managerial skill, but I will say that he would have to be a miracle worker to get anything out of this useless bunch this season. As Jose said yesterday, Max Gradel, Wijnaldum and Cabaye are good enough to play for Chelsea. What he should have said is "even Newcastle, Palace and Bournemouth are working with certain players that are better than some of the rubbish I've got in my squad".

The last report I read about the Mikel transfer saga was that Jose blocked it. Anyway it really doesn't matter who did. What matters is that whoever it is, (Emenalo or anyone) is an absolutely fvcking d1ckhead intent on destroying the club.

FBS:
guys, efi ara ba'le jare.

Accepted that them boys lack sharpness and the level of fitness varies from -5 to zero (or maybe +1) 'Cos as you can see, they are operating on different frequencies but all should be ok within a week. i.e after the first match (or luckily before).

So just relax. This is Chelsea FC. We know what we are doing.

Bro. Under normal circumstances, this will be the case.
I said this right after the second pre-season game.

nateevs:
Conclusions drawn from pre-season games are mostly useless. One conclusion is true though. We are going to struggle in Europe this season again.

The same problems exist. We have no midfield and this is actually all our first choice midfielders playing.

The transition of play through the middle is non-existent. Our forward play comes only through the wings and only through Hazard on the wing. Once Hazard is marked out, our attack is dead.

3 games later and the same problems exist. We are 'one major injury to Hazard or Matic' away from a disastrous title defense. I had high hopes for Pedro and at least one other midfielder. Instead, Jose blocked the sale of Mikel and persists with using Ramires in every game when it is clear he absolute tosh. Even worse, we are trying to spend £25m on a defender.

And now we are using Victor Moses? Seriously?

Nihilist:
The way we dey gawk this summer just surprise me.

Tell me about it. I think there is an air of cockiness creating false belief in the club's management.


Anyway, Baba Rahman may have agreed to personal terms.

Nihilist:
Which EPL manager are you?

I was Brendan Rodgers

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33609642

Quite an interesting quiz

Hahahaha. I am Jose.

airmark:
We can manage the midfielders that we have. Our major problem now is we don't have striker in top form. Costa is injury-proned, we saw remy and falcao today. Willian, matic tried. we need strong natural left full back too.

Manage you say? This was not even a strong Arsenal side. The midfield was very poor. No inventiveness, no verve and virtually no play through the middle. We barely had a shot on goal in the first half. What exactly will Costa's inclusion have revealed? Absolutely nothing. We did not created a single clear cut chance while they had numerous chances to put the game to bed.

I made mention of this during one the PS games. Our forward play is largely through the flanks and almost always through Hazard. Everyone knows this and you immediately see the Zonal pressing enforced once Hazard gets the ball.

The midfield had zero contribution to the game. Nothing happening through the middle. You cannot blame the strikers for that even though Remy was a d1ckhead for all of the first half.

Thank God. Ramires out.

Remy off abeg.

WTF is wrong with Remy? He has no positional awareness. Offside like a gazillion times.

Look at him standing permanently offside and won't bother to look across.
