HoMyGod!!!

There's a reason why a cold wet Tuesday/Wednesday away at Stoke is one of the worst experiences a professional footballer can have...

See injuries...

Baba dey play ball. Why Jose no dey play this guy?

barackohandso:
That people think something doesn't make it correct. When sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge at old trafford, the "whole world" also thought referees always favored man utd. Does that make it correct? Babel was fined when he posted this picture of Howard

Howard Webb was manyoo's best ever player though. I actually have a shirt with his name on the back...

Like some footsore wanderer, beset by vagabonds, Jose Mourinho stands at the crossroads, looking for the path that will be his salvation. In vain, alas. One sign reads ‘disgrace’, the other ‘despair’. And both lead, as night follows day, to ‘dismissal’.

The effervescence of youth. . . . .

Oops . . .I won. .

Nihilist. .

I'm still waiting for you to go top in the stakers league. . . plus i beat you in FA cup too. .

Suck my vinegary balls my nigga.

That -4 I took for Walcott gave you the narrow win.

You're still only 11 points away from me where it counts, and I'm still dancing nekid under the full moon.

You will surely testify to the beauty of my airmax's come May

raumdeuter:
Before their move to Buli Robben Ribery, Douglas Costa, Vidal(Leverkusen), Aubameyang KdB etc were just players who had potentials before they were turned around and turned into stars

This Dayo can misyarn sha. Robben was an integral part of the back-to-back league winning Chelsea side, and an integral part of the Real Madrid side that won la Liga in 2008 before his transfer to Bayern.

Even, his transfer to Bayern was caused by boardroom politics and not for football reasons.

How can Dayo open his mouth and say Robben was not already a star when he moved to Bayern?

Leyqute:
Nihilist how far? You guys have Klop next at the broken Stamford Bridge. How do you think the game will pan out?

I don't know, but I fancy our chances. Liverpool are a team that simply cannot keep cleansheets right now, and they are also struggling to score.

Should be an open game.

That pass for Lingard though...

Definitely something artistic about Martial

I have to disagree with Nateevs.

Last season, we did not struggle to create chances. We averaged almost 60% Possesion in the league.

While Hazard assumed the role of the 'game changer', Fabregas finished with the highest number of assists in the league. Ivanovic directly contributed to 9 or 10 league goals, and assisted the 'assister' in several more.

And while the team was fatigued towards the end of the season, historically and statistically speaking, fatigue is a common challenge to the top EPL teams post-January, given the frantic Christmas schedule.

We have struggled this year due to Jose's recalcitrant and arrogant outlook to the game but NOT due his perceived 'negative tactics'

Put simply, Na overskill dey worry Jose. I was listening to Stan Collymore on Talksport who reported rumours from Cobham that Chelsea's entire pre-season regime consisted of just 16 training sessions. Bear in mind that these sessions are usually a maximum of 2 hours long.

In addition to this, the players reportedly even got an extra week off ontop of the regular holiday period. The idea was that the Chelsea players would build up fitness as the season progressed. Imagine that?!

Well, that backfired spectacularly. Hazard came back looking decidedly chunky and Costa looked relatively obese compared to previous photos. Bar Willian, the players have looked out of gas quickly in our previous games. Mentally, they're still not there yet.

Jose has also made some baffling decisions. I don't believe Baba Rahman is so bad that a big lumbering centre back like Zouma is preferable to him.
The Falcao deal is just shocking on every level especially considering both manager and player share the same super agent.
The musical chairs scenario at centre back continues and djololobobodji or whatever his name is can't get a sniff.
Ivanovic is still assured a place in Jose's side and I wonder why. It's one thing to be beaten at pace by a speedy winger, but when Tadic can bamboozle you to the floor from a standing position, then you have to give serious consideration to the idea of early retirement

Then to further compound our woes, Jose has been engaging in off-field antics that seem to have divided the dressing room. I wonder particularly about Hazard's opinion on Jose's treatment of Eva...considering he was the player deemed in danger at the time.

So Jose has been ridiculously complacent, and that complacency has seeped very deeply into the dressing room. Coupled with his ridiculous off-field antics,questionable recruitment policy, and jaundiced team selections, it's easy to see how tactical instructions are the least culpable reasons for our current travails.

Quite simply, Overskills dey sunch...

Leyqute:
Chelsea has 11 points at the moment. The only team they senior are those in the relegation zone.

So...we've played all our big matches.

That's why I said we should be topping by end of December.

Hmm OK

xynerise:
What happened to Willans' 5Points? The point just disappeared

It went to Zouma nigga...

I have Zouma

Talksport tonight is cracking me up. One fan just suggested that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink should replace Jose.

raumdeuter:
[size=18pt]The winning goal was a cross from Ivanovic's side. I wonder why Mourinho keeps playing that guy. Oh wait.[/size]

It was from Zouma's side though...You know Zouma though...the Centreback? Playing at Right Back? Like you proposed?

sinizia:
TBH, Mourinho should leave. That's the only way to arrest this decline. Chelsea needs a breath of fresh air (new manager).

Definitely. The team is now mired in so much controversy and BS that is clearly affecting performances.

darefestus:
On which of the sky channels should we expect Mourinho's post-match rant?

My french stream just went off; and I must watch him bïtch about the referee live.

Sky don't show 3oclock games

sinizia:
Sir Niyi, trying to help Moaninghoe figure out who and who to blame.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2988904_a_jpeg_png06ab926892bf00393290944f02640265

My name isnt Niyi though, and I firmly blame Mourinho for for his recalcitrant,stiff-necked attitude...


I think even Jose doesn't know what he's doing.

85th minute, you're a goal and a man down...and then you send on a left back to replace the right back who was playing at left back. While this was going on, a Centre back was playing at right back.

God bless you Jose,but please packup and leave. It's beginning to feel like a girlfriend who gives her man an STI and still claims she loves him

Leyqute:
Hehehe Niyi u sure?

Niyi?

Ayew brothers just dey catch trips in Birmingham sha...


Whisper it quietly...Jose Out

Can Ibime please usher the revellers out?

No party today...

Mourinho is just.....

Bimffo:
What I am trying to point out is, Nobody bloody cares about the club status again. Everyone is after the money and the EPL is ready to offer that.

Tell him again.

Ogbonna left Juve for West Ham. Cabaye swapped PSG for Palace. Wijnaldum left captainship and regular UCL footy to play relegation footy with Newcastle.

Ibarbo, Behrami, Prodl, Nyom are at Watford now. Holebas actually left Roma got Watford.

Salomon Rondon is now at West Brom.

This is 2015 mehn...big club is out. Big bucks are in.

Debroslink:
This is not even a debate. Aduriz has been heads and shoulders better than Rooney in the past 2 seasons or so.

I dont exactly get your point. You're talking about movers and shakers and then saying Aduriz is better than Rooney.

My head hurts trying to understand your argument.

What has Aduriz won in his life? What has Rakitic achieved in his life? Vidal? Arda Turan?

Are you genuinely trying to compare a Wayne Rooney who is now in decline after winning almost everything there is to win at club level, to an Aduriz who is a football nobody?

My head hurts.

JJ doesn't think he's nigerian though.

He says his parents are....and he's from Watford.

Dude is a prickkk in real life though...

Debroslink:
Poor analysis my Bro.

Save Di Maria; Shakiri, Pedro and Payer are not classy. We are talking about movers and icons of their clubs such as Rakitic (winner of Europa league best player 2014) going to Barcelona, Vidal to Bayern, Arda Turan, Suarez, etc

Too much money flowing in EPL would make players like Rooney, who is not as good as Aduriz of Bilbao be earning more than Ronaldo. And Sterling who is not better than Oliver Torres be worth 40m pounds.

The classy players know the clubs to join when they come calling.

can you please explain how Adruriz is better than Rooney?

Because I don't understand that statement at all.

StarBoard:
Leave story.
Me and nyabinghi are in good terms.
No fighting.

With your scatter scatter teeth like james bond bullet....

You are right but not completely.

As at 2010, In the UEFA club coefficient

Man Utd was 1st, Chelsea 3rd, Liverpool 5th Arsenal 6th, Barca 2nd, Madrid 7th, Atletico 23rd, Bayern 4th, Dortmund 86th

Today Chelsea is 4th, Arsenal is 9th City is 18th and Man Utd is 20th, Madrid 1st, Barca 3rd, Bayern 2nd Atletico 5th Dortmund 10th, Liverpool 54th

This shows that aside the decline in man Utd from 1st to 20th, All the others too have declined to varying degree and City isnt replacing Liverpool well enough

In that same time check the corresponding teams from other leagues and how they have made relative imporvement from where they were 5yrs ago

Summary Everyone from EPL except Chelsea declined, Everyone(I mean every top team) from other leagues except Barca improved (barca remained virtually the same)

You are free to criticize my point

Isn't there like a 3 year lag for the coefficients to catchup to reality?

'Pool last made quarter finals in 2008, so in my opinion the coeffiecients actually flatter them. The reason why I dont think Pool declined is because I believe that their European success between 05/06 and 08/09 was an anomaly that could be tied almost exclusively to one or two fanstatic players in the form of their lives and a tactically astute(at the time) manager. I think even ther UCL win was very fortuitous but thats a different story.

Arsenal have consistently been inconsistent - exemplified by crashing out in the round of 16 the year after the reached the final, and their current EPL campaign. So I don't they declined either.

The only team to have dropped so drastically is Manyoo. Everyone else has remained the same. I agree that Maybe if City had stepped up to take Manyoo or Pools place, this discussion might not being happening though...

elampiro:

This is a joke right?

The difference is that I was the first to name him a world class player. The rest before then were all permutations. UniqueGem and the rest were all making analysis of an unknown player. UniqueGem never knew Martial before I announced Martial. He said even though he didn't know him, he like anyone who could shoot.

But I was the first to say "Martial is in the league of Sterling, Arguero and Suarez" That was a midas touch.

Dude just free this, cos you know you will never win.

Can you give me some stats about your defence though? I have De Gea in my FPL team.
