Here me out, would a false number 9 work?

Cech
Azpillicueta brana luiz cole
Ramires lampard
Hazard mata Schrulle
Oscar

Would it work, Oscar can score, and he can link up. Why not give it a try

Thoughts?

Why on earth we need false number? Let put back mata, oscar & hazard play and everything will sort out. put behind mikel with KDB and we will rip heads of fulham!

You should have realised that you had a decent Manager in Rafa and appreciated him.

Mourinho is all hype and tactically naive. In the 2nd half against Everton you were battering them until Jose took the 2 most dangerous players off and let Everton back into the game.

PS/ Thanks for Sturridge and Moses.

Mourinho all hype, seriously?
Poor start but I have faith we will turn it around.

I have to agree selling Sturridge has turned out to be a mistake, but I really don't rate Moses.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hard to argue with you, he seems to be the only manager in the Epl that doesn't realize that Chelsea has an attacking team and not just a counter-attacking one. Also probably the only manager who would break up the mazacar trio

Agree0 Disagree0

Redmersey you can have sturidge! I will see what will happen when suarez comes back and sturridge won't play as CF and start to dig holes in own garden

Agree0 Disagree0

Well atleast now we can all come back to earth and realise that we are not as good as people thought because mourinho is back, still need a lot of work to me Hazard is not unsubable, he should be removed if not playing well tbh Mou has to put his pride away and make the right decisions. What do you guys think?!

What are the thoughts on Willians performance?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not as good as erikson

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't know why we bought him to be honest, don't think he's worth 30 million.

And I don't think you can judge Erikson from a half-decent performance against Norwich.

Agree0 Disagree0

Should have spent it on a striker

Agree0 Disagree0

Was poor, can't understand why we signed him or schurle. Spent nearly 50 on them I don't think either are an improvement on what we already had, should have spent the money on falcao or cavani.

Agree0 Disagree0

I trust in JM, but why is he ignoring de Bruyne? Much busier than Mata and with a great eye for goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jordan, I am judging erikson the same way you are judging willian. you have stated that he isn't worth 30 million is that also off one performance, no it isnt. like me you are judging on other performances and I rate erikson higher than willian BEFORE he played against norwich all that game did was to confirm what I already thought that he is good as you have decided that willian is not so good and the price difference, well it makes you wonder if avb threw you a swerve ball

Agree0 Disagree0

I do t think Willian has done anything to justify a 30m price tag in his career.

And I highly doubt avb threw a "swerve ball" as Willian had already done the medical.

Agree0 Disagree0

Striker question remains strikingly (!) unsolved (would like to have had Lukaku as option, if no Cavani/Rooney!) as does question of who should play deep lying/holding midfield (where we lacked physical presence/incisive passing again tonight) -- neither resolved in transfer period or, as yet, on field where apart from first half against Hull we've been far less convincing than I'd hoped. But still early days, and we must trust that JM will mold team properly soon. He seems to be having good look at each and all in squad. Or I hope that explains things!

Looks like we got off to a bad start again this year. Don't know why Mourinho took off Willian and not Hazard (who did not look good at all). I also thought we could've used KDB better than Mata. We got to come back strong because we need 3 points against Fulham. The biggest problem I feel we have is gelling. A lot of the time we don't look like a team but more like a bunch of individuals. The cohesion must get better. Hopefully it'll get sorted soon. {Ed018's Note - you said it right. It's a team of individuals right now}

Total lack of composure, some players need to realise that it is not a stroll in the park. Ask utd about Basel. We were Defensively poor, same mistakes. Hazard is a great player but stop doing same things every time they get wise to it. Lastly I think e'to is a good player but he is an impact sub we should be playing Nando as main striker none of the other strikers work as hard.
Sorry said lastly but we are in need of new centre back to play with Cahill, luis is too hung ho

We lost again and it's a pity u can't say anything negative here because u would start receiving all kinds of abusive word like sore loser, plastic fan, glory hunter etc.
So we just have to say good work guys - better days ahead - PEACE

We lacked direction, passion and edge. Not a team at all. Credit to Basel though

Hazard was awful

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He was trying too hard to do it all himself.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's amazing how crack we are. Better under Benitez. We are concentrating too much on defending. It's a joke.

Agree0 Disagree0

He has been very poor so far this season, doesn't want to go into any physical challenges and won't track back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolute pants.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Awful from start to finish, Ivanovic worked hard but just does not have enough quality on the ball to play at right back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very happy Van Ginkle and Willian start tonight. Get to see them against an easier level of compertition and rotates the squad :)

COME ON CHELSEAAAAAAAA
