Spy360:
WhoScored.com have rated Nathan Ake over John Stones.

Isn't it funny that a player Mourinho is dashing out on loan is better than one he wants to buy for £40million + abeg.

So much about giving young talents a chance. At this point in time, Kevin De Bruyne also comes to mind.

Sentiments apart, Jose was such a bad talent manager.
I dont and never rated Stones as a centreback, and believe he is just another example of English Hype.

That being said, I don't think you realise that whoscored ratings are relative to the team's ranking i.e. a performance that Whoscored rates as 9.0 at Watford being a lower ranked team, might necessarily attract the same rating at Everton which is higher ranked as seen here...


WhoScored.com Ratings are based on a unique, comprehensive statistical algorithm, calculated live during the game. There are over 200 raw statistics included in the calculation of a player’s/team’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game

http://www.whoscored.com/Explanations

Not only are the ratings calculated per team ranking...they are also calculated to take in the rating of the player as well. So theoretically, if Ake and Stones were to play the exact same position for their respective teams and perform the exact same actions on the pitch against the exact same opponents, Ake will always have a better whoscored rating than Stones.

Thirdly, because their positions,actions, and duties are completely are completely different, comparing them and claiming 1 is better than the other based on whoscored ratings is completely pointless. Ake is a defender who also has to contribute to attacks. Ake is more likely to have better ratings than Stones who is a Centreback. If you play fantasy football, you'd understand.

Finally, Ake is playing under a well accomplished,multiple League and European title-winning manager who has organised Watford admirably. Stones is playing under a mumu of a manager who is well known for being useless defensively, and is only being bailed out by the brilliance of Lukaku.

I fear that all this insight is going to be wasted on you though, as everybody knows that the space between your ears is wide enough and empty enough to serve as a Wedding Hall.

Good day.

Griffon:
Tactics apart, many factors were responsible for our slump in form pre-hiddink, that has always been my stance.

I tend to point at the imbalance in the team more, in this case, the midfield, b'cos when a certain revolt against the manager was reported to be on, a proper utilization of the squad could have had us moving.

Had it been Jose had a fat squad to choose from, do you think a revolt led by certain players would be a problem? NO.

Had it been Jose had competent CM players to choose from, do you think he'd be bothered about Cesc's lackadisical attitude and uselessness? NO.

Jose needed to turn to some players to save his season, alas, those he had were the Ramires, Loftus-cheek, Kenedy of our time, ninjas that put the I in incompetence.

So my point stands. The imbalance in the team and lack of depth contributed largely to our slump in form pre-hiddink.

Jose is the last man you'll expect to massage your ego. When he fell out with Casillas and Pepe at Real, it was easy to replace 'em with Diego Alves and Varane respectively. Here at Chelsea, we parade ninnies as squad players. So it is easy for the first team players to revolt against the manager and still be of the knowledge that their place in the team is safe.

This winter transfer window could have been of immense help to Jose, unfortunately, the club had a call to make.

Ain't buying the ''tactics is responsible'' excuse. That wouldn't even feature on my list of probable causes of our slump in form.

What you have done so far is rebuff our opinions about the whole saga. Let's start from the very point we disagree and ask you to take on the mantle. We both agree Jose was the problem. Now instead of telling me why my point is wrong, kindly let us know why you think the players, who won the league only last year, revolted and turned on Jose overnight.
Bros Nateevs let's leave this matter because it don dey long, but I'd like you to know that I agree with majority of your submissions so far.

Drawn: 5
Lost: 3

#NegativeTactics.

Isco was laughing when an opponent scored Madrid. Sergio Ramos gave press conference to criticise his manager after being criticised for a needless 90th minute foul that led to one of those draws up there. Ronaldo refusing to take instructions on training pitch. James Rodriguez getting chased by police to the Madrid training ground.

But no...Benitez Negative tactics is the reason why he was sacked.

The main motivating factor that any manager can have is predicated in his job security.

Ferguson was Manyoo himself and all the players knew it. That's the difference. So many of Ferguson's players hated him...including Wayne Rooney. But they knew that the dare not play ball because it's them who would be shown the door. And very fast too with no questions asked.

Did you even read the Drogba quote you posted.

The guy actually gave expiry date for his attention span. Which manager can 'motivate' in that kind of framework?

That's why we went back to Ferguson. This guy busted Beckham's head with boot and it's still Beckham that left the club.

Ronaldo yarned his yarns and ranted his rants, Ferguson delayed him by a year and nothing could happen.

Stam was one of the best defenders in the world when Ferguson chased him. Tevez that was using Mancini to gba star could not try it with SAF...and you're talking about 'expansive football'?

Whether football is an art or a science is irrelevant. A job is a job and all jobs have elements of repetition in them to certain degrees. Yet football is the only one where the players decide and define the length of their attention span

The yarns about Benitez and negative tactics again...didn't they win a league game 10-1 a few weeks ago? Oyo who is the manager playing positive tactics that is in a long term job?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nihilist: 7:28pm On Jan 04, 2016
Raumdeuter the false prophet...how far na?

Which kain mumu question you dey ask me na? Or are you saying you don't understand how performance in a long campaign can dip towards the end of the season due to fatigue?

Or you think EPL is like Bayernliga where the teams have one full month in winter to rest?

Despite all this, this dip in performance only led to a 4 point drop. The difference between 1st 19 and last 19 games was that we drew 1 game and lost 1 game. I really can't understand how you and nateevs can claim that this is even a bad thing.

Secondly, if you knew that player power is here to stay since, then why have you been blaming everything from Matic to Jose's tactics to Guardiola's underpants since?

And you are a liar, NO player could ever undermine Ferguson. Rooney? Ronaldo? Egbon e tin paro ni o.

Enrique doesn't have a say at Barca cos (1) He has no pedigree. You think Messi could try that shyt with Ferguson?

Drogba even gave an arbitrary time frame, saying that things go in 3 year cycles. So after 3 years, we should better go and look for a new manager otherwise, the players no go hear word.

Is there even any wonder that Chelsea has no football identity? That we don't have a 'Chelsea way'?

Nateevs posted those quotes as 'proof' that Jose isn't a good manager. If you read those kind of statements and still think tactics or midfield is to blame, then oyo Lo wa.

Get ready for more of the same...
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nihilist: 6:33pm On Jan 04, 2016
Nateevs

Your post is long and I dont want to quote it all for fear of spambot, so I will respond to a selection of what I think were your key statements. I think that this will be my last response on this issue, not out of disrespect, but because the topic is growing a bit stale and I don't want us to bore other posters.

You like to make reference to number of goals as a measure of the overall success. The actual fact is that as at 19 games (half way in), we had already scored 41 goals of the total 73 we scored. We had won 14, drawn only 4, lost 1 and conceded only 14 goals.

By the end of the season we had scored 73 goals but these are the interesting facts. 5 of the last 32 goals were scored in one game against a poor and toothless Swansea side. As at the end, we lost 2 more games than we lost in first 19, drawn 5 games in the last 19 and conceded 18 goals in the last 19. 4 more than in the first. And there were no major injuries to key players.
First 19 games: W14 D4 L1
Last 19 games: W12 D5 L2

Is that really such a bad difference? Especially after international games, League Cup campaign, and UCL campaign as well? The difference between first 19 and last 19 games is 1 draw and 1 loss. Jose's tactics were really stale grin

So no, the facts don't support your position.

The turning point was at Spurs when we lost 5-3. Jose, one who was only attempting expansive football at the request of Roman, found a way out of it by expressing that the 'lack of control' - i.e. keeping things tight - was what led to the massive defeat. I think he further expressed how a 6-3 win was more of bad win for him than a 1-0 win. Those who know him well (folks like me) knew from then on, it was bye-bye expansive football.

And revert he did. The slimy, boring football came back in. Slims win were the order of the day.
Chelsea scored the opening goal 28 times last season (more than any other team), losing just once. Our record when leading at half-time read: P18, W17, D1, L0...

I'll let the significance of those stats sink in.

We scored first in 74% of our games last season...and did not lose a single match in which we led at half-time..

Fast forward to this season, reports have it that some senior players went to meet Jose and requested that we tried a more open and attacking approach to games rather than the ultra defensive and conservative approach. But you know how it turned out.
I heard that it was Fabregas(the reports I read suggest Fabregas Alone) who went to make that request. But we all saw the same Fabregas constantly misplacing short passes to players only 2 yards away from him. The same Fabregas many suspect was a rat. Or how can you reconcile Fabregas from yesterday to the one we've seen so far? Do you think Jose instructs his players to give the ball away at every opportunity?

I share with you what Legend Didier Drogba himself said in his book about about Jose . . .


"Things often come in three-year cycles - we'd arrived at the end of such a cycle," Drogba wrote in his autobiography Commitment. "By the start of the fourth season that Jose had been in charge, I think we had started to reach a point where it was harder for his message to get through."We wanted to hear it, we tried but somehow we had lost a little bit of what made us special."
This statement and the one by Demba Ba irk me greatly. They irritate me so much. I work hard for my money. I cannot stop pushing myself to keep working as best as I can because I know my livelihood and that of my family depends on it. That statement you read is the most unprofessional admission I have ever had the misfortune of reading.

Imagine this, a player, openly admitting that he wasn't listening to his manager because he was bored. Or the other one that was expecting Jose to function as his personal psychologist. I don't see how you can blame Jose for a player who admits that he wasn't listening. Is that not the ultimate height a player power? When a player refuses to listen to his manager in the knowledge that his own job is secure and the manager fired?

Shebi Benitez has been fired today. Ronaldo and Bale in a game where Madrid registered only 3 shots on target. Wetin manager wan talk again? Abi is it the manager that will tell that type of player how to shoot? Ronaldo has only scored like 1 or 2 freekicks in his last almost 100 attempts, yet he reportedly stormed out the training pitch in anger when Benitez suggested watching Freekick videos.

Yet Madrid was one of the clubs you used as an example where Jose was in conflict.

Let me ask you two questions.

1. Would you stop listening to your boss at your current place of work because you tried to listen but its too boring?
2. Manyoo under Ferguson, Barca under Cryuff et all, Arsenal under Wenger had\have very recognisable and consistent patterns of playing. How many players have come out to say the kind of nonsense that the players you quoted said?

Tactics get stale, old, found out and evolution is the only thing that keep you on top. So yes, this my own explanation on why tactics were the real problem that led to Jose's downfall.
How many permutations in formation and tactics do you think are possible? Do you think football is a video game? 4-2-3-1 formation has been the dominant formation in global footy for over a decade now....why do you think this is? grin

The fact that they were asking you if you were the first 'child' in your family, and what 'extra-curricular activities' already suggests to me that you were being interviewed for a junior position.

Coupled with the fact that your 'brag' was based on your class of degree, and not that you were chartered or years of experience, it's pretty obvious that you are a fresh graduate who is either looking or probably just got a job.

Considering hoe many experienced accountants outside the big firms are paid, I doubt that your payslip matches up to your loud boasts.
