Would be a monumentally bad decision by Roman. Don't get me wrong, I love Gus, but you're going to put a young manager with no top flight experience in charge of Chelsea? It would be like AVB all over again.

I understand what you're saying but Andre Villas-Boas didn't have the respect of the senior players. Gus Poyet is a former Chelsea player and would probably have the dressing room on side straight away, just like Roberto Di Matteo did.
If Roman Abramovich isn't going to change his methods of hiring and firing managers then I don't want another Chelsea favourite hired, only to then be fired after a bad run of games.

That's the most worrying thing.

Let Rafa go and give the reigns to Steve Holland for the remainder of the season, I'm fed up.

You're welcome.

He looks a lot like Ramires!
Henry Mears
He'll blame the lack of depth or tiredness probably.
chokosc
No wonder the players are tired, he keeps playing the same players and not using his substitutions! I knew it was a bad idea hiring him in the first place.
Sears
Did you see Chelsea's sub bench today? It was shit.
chokosc
All of the players on the bench could have helped. Ake the least, because of how young he is but Azpilicueta, Marin, Benayoun and even Ferreira could have helped in a certain part of our game...

Don't let the fachts get in the way of a good moan!
Turnbull, Azpilicueta, Ferreira, Ake, Benayoun, Marin.
Not much choice, Azpilicueta for Ivanovic would have seen him criticised for swapping RB's, rather than putting on another forward. Ferreira, Turnbull, Benayoun and Ake seem like they shouldn't really be brought on. So Marin for Bertrand was maybe the only swap he could make, and no one seems to rate Marin. Chelsea probably would have been far more threatening if Luiz/Mikel were available allowing for Ramires to move upto AM in place of Bertrand or Oscar. Or having Hazard/Moses available to play there.
Chelsea need to appoint a manager, they look like kids with a supply teacher, coasting along.

- The managers' reluctance to changes things during games is killing us.
- He continues to start Torres (except for today) and then brings on Demba Ba with ten minutes remaining and with no chance to have an impact.
- Like for like substitutions (since his appointment) when we are chasing games.
- Ryan Bertrand continues to be picked ahead of Marko Marin on a regular basis.
- No plan B, just 4-2-3-1 every single game even though we have clearly struggled to defend with it recently.
While the players should take some of the responsibility, managers' should be able to pick up on these things and he's failing to do so, and it's costing us.

And you have a problem with that ?
I still don't get why Marin is so overhyped by Chelsea fans. He had a good 45 minutes in pre-season and that's it, he can dribble and penetrate but he hasn't done much when given the chance.
I still don't get why they went for him, he's overkill, especially with guys like KDB out on loan

Racist.
Henry Mears
I have a massive problem with that.
You can't expect Ryan Bertrand to do an attacking midfielders job when he is an average left-back at best. Marko Marin has returned from an injury and would benefit greatly with a decent run of games. I have no doubts whatsoever that Marko Marin is a much better attacking midfielder than Ryan Bertrand.
He was also signed because he is a good young player and was relatively cheap at £8,000,000.

Agreed
Juan Mata
Well Bertrand isn't shit. He isn't playing in his natural position. Also goals has been coming from right side lately, wingers are not tracking back (well Oscar is not winger, but he play there), so i can't wait till Moses comes back.

chokosc
To be honest, Benitez has taken us a step back, if not two, compared to how we played under dM...
Sears
Under RDM, it was a miracle you won the Cl. You played the most disgusting, defensive football I've seen from a team who won the CL.. And despite a good start to this season your form dipped. Even if RDM had stayed, you still wouldn't be doing much better than you are now under Rafa.
Stop being shit fans and get behind your manager for once. No wonder everybody hates Chelsea.
