That is how it all started but through no fault of Joses.

Frank Arnesen and Roman were forcing Shevchenko, Steve Sidwell, Tal Ben Haim and Khalid Boulahrouz on him, and he didn't react well. It is up to them to learn from history, not Jose. He knows what the team needs, not them.
Well,I feel for Jose,actually. Heard his Dad's been for a while and that might be a reason he hasn't been cool with people as of late.

I never thought I would see the day Dyabman admits Ramires is shyte.

I thought he would improve to be a better player as seasons go by

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 angry grin

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.

I actually think Diego Costa did a little well. Maybe not much. Or did I watch a different match?

I remember deep into the game when Costa evaded two City players in the box and then tee up Hazard who missed that clear chance to level the score. Costa trip and fall but somehow the ball got to Hazard who instantly became clueless and couldn't bury that chance.

Isn't that noteworthy enough of Costa?grin

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
