Ibime: I thought he would improve to be a better player as seasons go by I thought at worst he would replicate that 2011/2012 season I thought perhaps those injuries he had, had depreciated his confidence that he need's' more games to regain that tireless and box-to-box midfielder i first saw at benfica on Youtube.. but na lie .. I just don tire for am jare , make him dey pack hin load dey go Juve or Estudentes |

Chelsea have conceded 30 crosses and 14 chances from the right flank(Ivanovic) in the last two games. Highest in the league Chelsea have also conceded 23 goal attempts inside the box. Second highest in the league. Wahala dey. |

Danhumprey: No, even hazard was nt expecting the ball to come back at him, knowing the kind of predatory instinct costa had early last season. A fit costa would have nicked that ball by himself or force a save by the keeper. Go and watch the game again, costa was average based on his known standard. At a point I thought he would punch mangala and withdraw his incisors due to frustration. |

Nihilist: We need new mechanics in defence and one to support matic. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 11:54pm On Aug 17, 2015 |
Nihilist: They should just return Ivanovic to centreback where he is prolly our best centreback. Every tricky agile winger has been washing him at that RB since 2012. And when cross is coming in sef, you will see him focusing more on hiding his hands behind his back to prevent handball than closing down the attacker to stop the cross. |

airmark: Ibime: Oddly enough, na fantasy research open my eyes. I knew it was bad, but not this bad. The only back line worse than us is Sunderland Swansea currently have the most resilient defence in the league

Nihilist: So y'all ninjas be researching this thing hard lije this? No wa, you go still finish behind Ipukulubiye FC Mirror reporting that Chelsea board are now giving the green light to purchase a defender, central midfielder and attacker (I guess winger). Lets hope their eye don open and its not too late to claw back from this bad start and dampened morale. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 1:17am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Nihilist: Yea. We saw it in preseason. Though I knew it was bad my fear was not to be disgraced in Europe. I believe what happened now is a blessing in disguise. Mou and the board have been brought back to reality, squad needs to be fortified. How I wish we signed that douglas costa. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by pamcode(m): 7:09am On Aug 18, 2015 |
airmark:Are you kidding me he wasnt expecting the ball why the bloody hell was he in the box in the first place then. Not to mention that he dribbled a city player only to shoot close at Hart. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by pamcode(m): 7:22am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Our mildfied against city was bossed i think we need mildfielders that can handle physical or aggressive opponents same thing happened to us last season against psg where d likes of matiudi bossed us, we need an aggresive mildfiedler, a defender and an attacker Pls let forget about that bloody stones, imagine everton asking us for 40m for someone laid flat by newcomer Ighalo. I laugh in mandarin chinese |

Lemme just drop this here - http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/mourinho-in-line-to-be-sacked/ Nihilist, mathys, chelseafan1 does this ring a bell? The pressure is piling! Chelsea has to win the next match comfortably or else...Mourinho'll quit. That's his style. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Chelseafan1: 7:50am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Leyqute:The club will be foolish to sack him just after 2 games. We are winning our next game comfortably. |

pamcode:Were we sleeping with our eyes closed when Arturo Vidal was up for sale or wen Bayern made a bid?? That guy coulda brot stability to our midfield.... There are still fine midfielders around though buh Vidal is a strong workaholic, he can burst forward, tackle fine, score goals, a perfect addition he could have been. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Chelseafan1: 7:58am On Aug 18, 2015 |
pamcode:He messed up by not scoring that goal, I remembered banging my legs several times almost cursing him for that miss...Immediately, I tot about what Messi or Ronaldo could av done with that kinda chance. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hensben(m): 8:01am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Chelseafan1:You're 100% correct but I fear South American players in epl, they lack consistency. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Chelseafan1: 8:10am On Aug 18, 2015 |
hensben:Hmmmm....Aguero, Suarez, Sanchez?? I think the strong ones can thrive well in the EPL, Arturo is very strong too. A pairing of Matic and Vidal would be strong enough for Yaya, Silva and Dinho. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hensben(m): 8:18am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Chelseafan1:Thats true, CFC could've make a swap deal with Ramirez, Juve was even after him or Oscar then. Vidal is Ramirez upgrade. 1 Like |

Leyqute:What pressure please? Stop posting articles written by United and Arsenal fans who are praying and fasting that he gets sacked..... So if Chelsea lose draw the next match,he would get sacked or quit? Stop reading complete sports |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Leyqute(m): 9:25am On Aug 18, 2015 |
bigkesh: A standard Chelsea fan reply. You didn't even bother to read the article -the first 2 paragraphs explains the whole article. SMH for you. No pressures abi? Answer these - How many matches has Chelsea won after normal play time since the end of last season? What can you say about the overall performance? *Note, 9 matches has been played* Maybe Mou getting sacked would be the best thing for Chelsea, you never know |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Pataki: 9:31am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Chelseafan1: You people have resumed again. Winning your next game comfortably? So your opponents just came to eat popcorn and drink cola at the stadium when they play your useless team abi? With which players are you winning your next game - Ramires, Falcao, Ivanovic, Hidden Hazard, Fabreliquid, Daredog Costa? Continue with the delusion like your deluded coach is. 1 Like |

How Chelsea can climb out of crisis By the time Fernandinho scored with a sweet stroke of the ball, the message was already clear to Chelsea fans, players and management. Standing still is the same as going backwards. The sheer fact that this discussion is already arising with 36 games left in the season shows the real crisis Chelsea have found themselves in with only two games played. To be fair to Chelsea and José Mourinho, it is a cycle that many Premier League champions have fallen into. Win the League, fail to strengthen, lose out. Manchester City did it last season and it’s even a cycle that non Premier League champions Liverpool have fallen into in recent times! After the sale of Luis Suarez, they didn’t really buy anybody that elevated the entire starting XI and thus had a spectacular failure of a season after such a stellar performance in the previous season. Chelsea now face the possibility of having a failure of a similar magnitude if they do not strengthen or attempt to revamp their team this year. Whilst Manchester United have signed a plethora of players and Manchester City look to confirm Nicholas Otamendi – on top of already signing Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph – Chelsea, until yesterday, had failed to make a significant signing that would bolster the team. Instead, they have merely replaced players that have left the club. Asmir Begovic came in for the departed Petr Cech, whilst last season debacle player, Radamel Falcao, agreed to a loan deal to take place of the exiting Didier Drogba. No real players had been brought in to plug the gaps in Chelsea’s team. However, almost in reaction to Sunday’s defeat, Chelsea confirmed the transfer of Baba Rahman from FC Augsburg, which will add squad depth and could potentially solve the problem of Branislav Ivanovic. The Serbian right-back has always been a little bit of a defensive liability and the first two games of this season has been a trial of fire for him. Jefferson Montero and Sterling gave him a torrid time and even his reliability at set-pieces seemed to have left when Vincent Kompany bettered him to take the game even further away from Chelsea. Why Mourinho sticks with him week in and week out is a mystery to me. Baba Rahman offers Chelsea the opportunity to play Cesar Azpilicueta in his natural position at right-back. If Ivanovic is still needed, he could play centrally alongside John Terry, Gary Cahill or Kurt Zouma. The next thing that Chelsea have to do is remodel themselves. For a long time now Mourinho has insisted on a one striker system, which has worked previously. Maybe this season, Mourinho should attempt to play with two strikers and Loic Remy being a definite option for one of the two. He offers a different dimension to Falcao and Diego Costa. He has the ability to drop deep and play as a false nine or a shadow striker . Another alternative would be to revert to a 4-3-3 system and have Ruben Loftus- Cheek and Nemanja Matic in midfield as protection for Cesc Fabregas who is also a defensive liability. Lastly, on to the underlying theme of this article. Strengthening. Chelsea, in my opinion, need: another centre-back, a solid midfielder and a right- winger. Chelsea’s pursuit of Everton centre-back John Stones has been highly publicised and they are confident that they can achieve a deal. In midfield, there have been rumours about Alex Witsel coming in to the team, but giving Ruben Loftus-Cheek a permanent starting place in the senior squad might just do the trick. Antoine Griezmann, FC Barcelona’s Pedro Rodriguez and Real Madrid’s Isco have all been linked to Chelsea but Pedro looks like the best value for money and with an asking price of only €30 million, Chelsea need to consider purchasing him. Part of strengthening a team is also getting rid of dead wood, or asking players to step up. It seems that Juan Cuadrado and Ramires do not offer much to the team and they should be shown to the door. Fabregas and Willian both need to step up their performances, the former particularly has a tendency to disappear in the big games. Chelsea tend to be very dependent on Eden Hazard and when he doesn’t perform, others need to be up to the task too. In short, Mourinho summed it up perfectly in his post-match interview yesterday. He claimed that he knew what 36 times 3 was, implying that Chelsea still have 108 points to play for and the season is far from over. However, if he wants success in the Premier League and the Champions League he has two weeks to make the appropriate adjustments. If Chelsea fans want to know if their team will succeed this season, these next 14 days will prove vital. |
