How would people feel if Torres stayed, but played as a winger?

Are you serious? We have de bruyne and Moses or even a actuAlly sued Marin.

Please don't be so silly

His wages are astronomical. We could take those wages off and pay for a quarter of the squad.

Tk

Id be happy keeping torres if he halved (or maybe more) his wages. they're too high for a squad player

well done rafa today good motivation was needed and you came up trumps some good results recently rafa keep it going my son. IANCFC.

Now, I'm going to be the awkward one here to say that Rafa has actually done well in the midst of adversity. Stepping into the lions' den wasn't going to be easy and he's proven what a tough character he is. Granted we've had some bad results, but this is a team in transition. He actually won Barclay's Manager of the Month twice in 5 months! Two wins out of the next three and we shd get 3rd. Fan hostility toward Rafa and the atmosphere at the Bridge affected results so badly, much like shooting urself in the foot! Thank God we realized earlier though. Beating Fergie so many times this season is a thing of joy. And finally Rafa, two more league wins plus the Uefa cup and u could go down as my hero, just maybe.

Yes I must admit Raffa has done a good job. I wonder if he will be considered for the permanent job. Proitos

Let's be honest the players obviously like him, if we qualify in third and win the europa cup the he has succeeded despite everything being against him. Oh sorry he once said some nasty things about us. Sorry I forgot what a nasty man.

Only thing I like what raga has done was Luiz in midfield. Other than that all I care for is the club.

05 May 2013 22:45:05
Good squad management/rotation; dropping Mikel most of the time; shifting Luiz to midfield; being firm with Terry and Lamps yet keeping them happy. The man is a top professional.

What a joke, we beat a poor utd and all of a sudden the waiter goes from being some pantomime villan into the messiah, it's embarrassing!

06 May 2013 00:19:00
A poor United team? U're embarrasing mate.

He's not the messiah, he's an ok manager!

Come on Bas!cs,, it mght not have been a poor United team, but it was a United team picked to give players medals, and one that has (wrongly) clearly got 1 eye on the Summer holidays.

@basics.

to theperson who said about the poor united team was spot on. united played with a lack of willingness. and looked sluggish, a shadow of the team that has played all season. I'm not the biggest rafa fan nor do I hate him, but he certainly did not "mastermind a victory"

05 May 2013 20:38:42
Fergie actually said that Webb favored us today! Hilarious. Personally I don't think it was a foul on Rooney but even if it was, in comparison to the amount of fouls that Utd got away with, one could call it Karma.

Even if it was a foul it was virtually impossible to see unless you look back on the camera, looked like a fair tackle

Bias opinion for a bias person, as expected. We won, no need to make up nonsense.

Man united can moan all they like. The game that changed our season was against united. It's justice!

Yes, we can moan all we like as we polish title number 20.

AJH

Exactly AJH, I fail to see why you need to moan about games that are of no importance to your season. The fact that Fergie feels the need to moan about made up nonsense is funny.

05 May 2013 20:25:29
Beat spurs and top 4 is ours.

05 May 2013 18:35:31
United gone, u are next Spurs. U may as well feel our wrath.

Blueprint

Yes I want us to demolish Spurs. I despise Levy and what he represents. Proitos.

05 May 2013 17:18:39
Oscar has been extremely poor today. Throw in the fact that mata isn't at his best and hazard is out and you're left with this situation.

Tk

Dominating and winning the game?

05 May 2013 18:02:58
Oscar poor? It wasn't going to be an easy game. Yet he got an "assist"! Get off his back and spend more time supporting the team at this very crutial stage.

If Oscar was. Poor, then what was Moses?

JG

Wait moses was playing? I thought we got some random lad of the street!

If somebody would like to say he had a good game then I'm just going to have to disagree with you.

Tk

And who had a good game?

JG

Ivanovic and azpiliueta for me. BLUEBOY1

Oscar hasn't had a rest for nearly 2 full seasons give him a break!

Agree, both Ivanovic and Azpilicueta had a good game.

JG

I'd say the entire back line and Cech did very well today with what they were faced with. Rami and lamps still look uncomfortable together for obvious reasons. Moses was Moses and ba was pretty isolated most of the game. Mata wasn't at his brilliant best but he had a good game. For me Oscar was slow on the ball at times, gave it away cheaply at times, and overall I feel he could have done more with the opportunities he had. I still think he will be a brilliant player (although I think he should stay in the front 3) but today wasn't his best day.

No-one slates Fergie for rotation, straight swap carrick for Webb in centre midfield

Empty seats in the chelsea end today. very poor

We're you there. Guess not. How many games this season, home and away in Europe, two games a week for gods knows how many months. Life's tough and games are pricey even the most loyal supporter has been pushed this year and there's the small matter of a final in holland. We have great supporters always have had. But I guess you've only been following for the las 5 years.

Been following chelsea all over the country since 1990 and my bro and nephew were there today whos been doing the same for 40 years. To give excuses for not selling out 3000 tickets for a game this important is pathetic. I think your the Johnny come lately, not me. used to take more to the likes if forest and sheff wed away when we were garbage.

05 May 2013 15:36:50
no hazard and ramires and lampard in midfield. not feeling great about our first 11.

jscottjr

Our bench is awful too. Hoping utd just don't turn up today.

05 May 2013 15:34:11
What's peoples problem with Moses? He's our only real winger with any confidence and is more than able to beat a man or two. Something we've been crying out for for ages!

Can't cross, can't pass, is surprisingly slow, not a fan at all.

05 May 2013 17:02:00
Stewart Downing or Moses? I know who.

Id rather have downing honestly, he's playing well now

Moses may beAt a NAND but Jesus he does him self over after. No end product to Moses. Doesn't understand others.

05 May 2013 15:30:25
Where's hazard today? {Ed002's Note - Injured.}

05 May 2013 08:58:44
I will be probably get slaughtered for saying this but I am not sure I want JM back. I believe in looking forward. Would I go back to a previous job? No. Proitos

Who do you want for the job whos available then.
Maybe it's going back but to the best manager in the world

My question to te people who say this is who are we going to bring in instead of Jose that is capable to tying his shoes. Not a sole unless there's somebody we don't know about. Sometimes you just have to make the best of what you have.

Tk

A ten years younger JM! By that I mean a young, ambitious, hungry for success and first class man manager and tactician. Surely, there must be somebody (By the way no, I do not think AVB was the one). Proitos

I don't think it really matters whether he is young or old. I would love to see Mourinho back at Chelsea not only because of his skills in managing a club but also the ability to have every single individual, being player or fan, support the team 100% and that may be all we need to be at the top of the league again just like the old times. This, along with a new striker of course!

JM is one of hungriest, most ambitious managers the world has ever seen. What does age have to do with it. Listening to some fans, football should be played only by people under 25, and all managers should quit at 50. Ridiculous. JM is a step forward for any club in world football. How is that different for us, just because he has managed us before?
