Interesting to know what RA will decide today. To Jose or not to Jonsey?

For all I know, this is nothing but a classic case of a prolonged, catastrophic and inexplicable loss of form but eventually, we will get this right.

We have to be realistic about relegation.

Griffon:

Omo. .

At this point. . Yes. . the earlier the better.

He(Nihilist) was actually referring to a stop-gap,temporary "fix" till the team gets his swagger back.I think.

Thank you.

To be more specific, I was speaking particularly about Leicester. This is a team that have had 44% possession all season! Thy dont go to pass the ball around - They wit for you to pass the ball around, Ngolo Kante wins the tackle, and the ball is swiftly passed to Albrighton\Mahrez\Vardy to chase or run at defenders.

My particular line of reasoning was wondering why we would play to their strength...

I dont understand why Nateevs keeps insisting that Jose cannot play attacking football - Last season only Man City Outscored us in the league. Hazard created the highest number of chances in the league. Fabregas registered the highest league assists. Diego Costa was the 3rd highest goal scorer in the league. Ivanovic copped the highest goals+assists out of all the defenders in the league

All our 4 key attacking assets listed up there are horrifically out of form this year. All of them. What do you want Jose to do? Hypnotise them? Kidnap their wives and kids? What?

Jose has moved Fabregas from pivot to 10 to the bench. Costa has been dropped and publicly warned about his movement. Hazard has been moved from left to right to 10 to even 9 and then the bench.

This season Jose has played 4231, false 9, and 3 at the back. Cahill has lost his place to Zouma. Matic has been hooked several times. Nothing has worked...because the players have NOT BEEN GOOD ENOUGH

This the issue.

This statement from Jose is particularly telling

“ Another is that this season we started so badly, individually and collectively, that in the Premier League maybe the sequence of bad results brought the players to a position in the table where they are not scared of relegation, because they don’t feel they belong to the relegation battle, but where they don’t have the motivation to be champions any more, or to be top two or top four. So I think, from both possibilities, one of them can be real.

It sounds like the players might have already written this season off, BUT dont believe that they could get relegated.... It looks that way to me.
And I think that that ind of mentality is even more dangerous than ever.

Jose discusses Costa's terrible movement here...especially his disgusting habit of running to the flanks

It was more of a threat and especially because I think the lack of confidence for Diego in front of the goal is bringing him to other areas. When in front of the goal he is not scoring, when in front of the goal he is not fresh mind and critical like he was for all of last season, he is leaving this area. His movements are nearly all from the centre to the sides, coming deep. Central defenders are pressing him, making faults, making contacts, in the last two matches he made two great movements as a striker, one was against Porto for the first goal, another one was today – normally in this situation he has to score. When I saw that situation leaving the box, going around, I put Remy in the box.

Even more telling is what Jose says here

The players that are not performing well, they must feel for sure, attacked in their pride, their self esteem. They have to do everything to get results in a humble way. I don't think in this moment the players can feel they are top players. Or they are superstars. In this moment they have to be humble, they have to look to Leicester boys and feel these are the stars, these are the top players. They have to look to them and be humble. They have to look to Sundelrand next weekend, and to Watford in two weeks' time and say, 'Hey we are at the same level as you are, I am not the superstar, not the player of season, not the world champion, not the Premier League champion. In this moment I am at your level.'

I'm not absolving Jose of any blame here especially as I feel that he has fuckedup in several ways- lack of preseason, allowing Costa back overweight, Eva situation, and his over-antagonistic behaviour - HOWEVER it is very clear that these players are not...well they're not actually playing.

I think that the board is happy to see this season out so far that we are not relegated...but I expect quite a few heads to roll in the coming transfer windows.

nateevs:
Those players alone have a combined value of £145m - more expensive than the whole of the Leicester team, 3 times over and the best way to beat them is to sit back and concede possession? Wonders shall never end.

This kind of thinking is just funny. Leicester are sitting pretty at top of the table and have the two hottest attackers in the league. Combined value counts for nothing...Leicester have to be given the respect they deserve. I don't think you watched Leicester v Arsenal earlier this season. Despite Arsenal passing the ball around sleekly given their better passers, Vardy still put 2 past them.

Very Well said and I agree with you minus the eva thingy. She was there at the beginning of the season and they didnt play any better. Plus, isn't it pathetic that such professionals and handsomely paid so called footballers are playing like idi.oits just because a doctor was asked to leave?

They better get their acts together. The whole lot of them.

Mourinho: ‘We also have another problem which is the number of goals our attacking players are scoring, or in this case aren’t scoring. When we make defensive mistakes we are punished because we don’t score enough goals. The team pays for the number of goals our attacking players aren’t scoring.’ # CFC

I feel pity for Chelsea my club! !!...
we will rise again!

Chelseafan1:

This is absolutely correct! I could remember Barça conceding in 12 straight games (in all comps) in Tito's season albeit winning the league with 100 points. At the end of that season we conceded about 40 goals (36-40) in the league alone. Meanwhile, that was the season Messi scored a whooping 73 goals in all comps.

I could also remember us outscoring Deportivo some 2 or 3 seasons ago. While the likes of Pique were messing up at the back, Messi was doing justice at the other end of the pitch and we ended by winning 5 goals to 4.

So I think he got that right. If only Chelsea can score more goals, it would really help.
