sephia: I find it funny when people follow a club and don't know what's going on. And when I talk, they will act like what I am saying is strange. Lukaku and Sturridge have been sidelined for a good 2 years before Mourinho stepped foot in the club - that is a club policy to promote Torres no matter what. A lot of good wingers got thrown out of the club, only due to over-competition in their position - that is a club policy. 2 years before JM ever stepped into the club, the club was overstocked with wingers. That trend continued the same summer JM joined as long-term targets Schurrle, Willian and Atsu were signed. Jose had no hand in it - that is a club policy. That same summer, we failed with bids for two other wingers - Bruma and Taison - that is a club policy. Every week, Chelsea are scouting and linked with 3 or 4 wingers. Today sef, we are linked with 2 wingers from Benfica - that is a club policy. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-transfer-news-benfica-pair-goncalo-guedes-and-talisca-on-blues-radar-a3111641.html This summer, we didn't get the midfielder that we were looking for - yet two more wingers - Kennedy and Adrian were signed - that is a club policy. Traore will soon get thrown out along with Kennedy due to too much competition and you will blame Mourinho - but that is a club policy. Meanwhile the central midfield is starved - great wingers keep getting cut due to unfair competition, yet the most incompetent central midfielders collect shirt every season - that is a club policy. And when that incompetent midfield fails to protect the defence, the defensive wingers will be favoured due to the unbalanced midfield, and great talents like De Bruyne will be lost because they cannot defend like Willian, Oscar and co. They will get frustrated and leave - that is a direct result of club policy. Ibime knows who makes which signings and who controls what parts of the club direction. It is not rocket science. I have established clear patterns of behaviour over the last 3 years. I don't care if Jose is going or not. . . . that is a seperate issue to do with his behaviour. . . All I know is that for this club to move forward. . . . Emenalo must go!!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

dopeJemi:Carlo sold Ozil and benched Isco..... He won the awards because of goals and assists but we were never in the title race by January during his spell Things we achieved were solely because of Mata? Please!!!!!!! Everything was because of our Defence ,and that includes Czech,the defence and the midfielders covering Mata's weakness.... Mata disappeared 180mins against Barca........Absent against Bayern,Not seen against Napoli and Useless against Benfica.... Everyone knows our defence won us the UCL and Europa league, That's not even up for debate.... Ramirez won the Players player of the year,Its fans that are carried away by figures that voted Mata... Our UCL has nothing to do with Mata,and even the FA cup...he was just a player good for the fans Mata was just a plan B....If crosses and Power don't work,passes should....... At least against smaller teams |

Benítez has played a poor hand poorly. And yet he started his reign promisingly, signalling straight away that he had identified a major imbalance in the squad that his predecessor, Roberto Di Matteo, had been unable to rectify. Benítez's instant innovation was to shift the centre-back David Luiz into midfield to fill the destabilising void there. The Brazilian duly connected two parts of the team – defence and attack – that had frequently, since the loss of the likes of Michael Essien and Michael Ballack, seemed condemned to toil in isolation, reliant on flashes of individual inspiration to compensate for systemic failure. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/feb/24/manchester-city-chelsea-frank-lampard |

Ibime: cos you know you would get buried! chelsea fans like you whose tongues have a permanent residency in mourinho's anäl cavity despise me. it's never jose's fault, it must always be someone else in the upper hierarchy! emenalo tendered his resignation when chelsea were about to sign mourinho, abramovic himself declined the request and reaffirmed emenalo is the reason chelsea are successful and jose must work under him. let the media be filling your head with nonsense. emenalo is more important to roman than mourinho. emenalo won everything that needed to be won before jose's second coming. jose would leave before he does! |

Di Matteo’s relationship with technical director Michael Emenalo was already strained, but it was stretched to the limit by the pressure to get Torres among the goalscorers. Some sympathised, but others were openly questioning the motivation of a striker who was once regarded as the best finisher in world football. Upstairs in his office at the club’s Cobham training centre and puffing on cigarettes out on the balcony, Di Matteo frequently discussed Torres’ form with assistants Eddie Newton and Steve Holland. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2236606/Roberto-Di-Matteo-sacked-Chelsea-Roman-Abramovich-Inside-story-Neil-Ashton.html#ixzz3rIYORvpS |

coogar: I would not have that conversation with you because you are dumb enough to attribute our successes to Emenalo You might as well tell us Frank Arnesen won 2006 EPL. Di Matteo and Di Matteo alone won Champions League. We got knocked out in UCL group stage the next season as our midfield was raped by all and sundry. Emenalo's teams are known for worrying about 4th place finish all season. Jose won the league last season. |

mithel: Bertrand got in that team of the season by virtue of playing for a team that was widely considered to have overchieved. We played 1 attacking full back and 1 defensive full back last season. Bertrand as an attacking fullback was not better than Ivanovic and posted only marginally better numbers than Azpi who was instructed to play defensively to cover Hazard. Bertrand as a defensive fullback doesn't even come close to Azpi. Both Azpi and Iva clearly shat on Bertrand last season, so who would he have benched? So forget team of the season. Aguero was far and away the best striker in the division and didn't make it. Even as bad as we've been this season...my guy look at the second graphic Now if you are looking back in hindsight as saying well, Bertrand could have done a job now, you then need to ask yourself if you honestly thought that Bertrand could comeback and displace Filipe Luis The fact that Bertrand achieved the team of the season last year has fed this growing myth that Bertrand was anything but an average full back at Chelsea. Shine your eye wella. Bertrand was never the saviour

raumdeuter: The team we have this season should be around about 4th position. The failure this season is due to Jose's implosion in personality and relationships and a poor pre-season planning, made worse by a poor midfield that coulda helped the situation. I am talking more long term here. Emenalo is an underlying problem, the kind of ninja that puts Chelsea permanently in a state of imbalance and 4th place. The discussion here is why many good wingers left the club, not why we are struggling this season. Many wingers left the club because you cannot play 7 wingers at the same time. |

Ibime: if you are dumb enough to apportion the blame of the current failings on emenalo then logic dictates he must have been responsible for the success in the past!
bullshyte! whose players did di matteo use as a vehicle to drive the success? you mean he brought his own players from his former club?
di matteo was responsible for that! how can you blame emenalo for your shoddy group phase performance in 12/13 season? are you amnesiac? who was chelsea's manager when things fell apart in 12/13?
jose & emenalo won the league last season. you cannot just call jose when chelsea succeed and then deride emenalo when the team fails. you are not speaking to stark illiterates here.....abramovic has repeatedly shown that he values emenalo's input more than mourinho & he retained emenalo to check the excesses of mourinho! do you know better than roman? 1 Like |

I have been following this discourse since it's inception and it's clear that some folks overestimate the youth policy. In this dire situation that chelsea finds itself, youth integration is definitely not the road to take. I remember when folks here wanted majority of the players y'all are clamoring to be integrated into the team, to be sold or loaned out but now it's a different soundtrack playing. This is not the time to try out the youngins because trust me, it won't solve anything. First of all, the young players can't deal with this immense pressure mounting on the club, you think it's easy to play in front of thousands of demanding fans and expect them to understand when you make mistakes during this perilous times for the club? Absolutely not! And chelsea are in a situation where a single mistake is punished by the opposing teams so pushing in the youths to the team is not a good idea considering the present situation. Secondly young footballers are full of inconsistencies. Yes he might play well against Norwich but ends up sitting on his thumb the next match day. Is that the kind of players you want in your team? Thirdly most of this youth players are not mentally prepared for the big stage. Most of them need to go out on loan and perform at the highest level b4 even thinking of making it to the first team. I keep hearing names mentioned here who you guys think are better than some of the first team players because you saw them play with their age mates in that crappy reserve league setup but it isn't like that. Yes they should be given minutes to test their worth but not being pushed to the team instantly just cos some of the seniors are under performing. Take a look at Adnan Januzaj, he was pushed into the team by a desperate moyes and ended up flickering here and there, now he's at dortmund; on the bench. I'm not saying that youth integration is bad but it shouldn't be a priority for a trophy chasing team let alone for a team hovering above the drop zone. |

Ibime: I don't claim to know what goes on behind the scene. If we must blame Eminalo, we must also blame other management staff including the manager and Roman. Roman doesn't strike me as one who would allow people make decisions if he doesn't have full confidence in them. We all know Roman isn't stupid. Eminalo is not as powerful and influential as you're making it seem Seems you and Eminalo beef na from wey back in naija |

sephia: Our conversation was not about this season. Our conversation was why so much talent got wasted so I had to tell you why Lukaku, Sturridge and many wingers got wasted at the club. We will dissect this season fully in the fullness of time but I blame this season's failure on Mourinho's personality. We should be 4th place (which is where Emenalo put us, a perpetual 4th place team). Now, I take great umbrage when people make statements like "Roman knows what he is doing". The first match Roman ever watched was Man Utd vs Real Madrid in 2003. I knew more about football when I was 10 years old than Roman knows now. Roman can be fooled tactically by any eediot. |

Ibime: ABout the Torres deal, I am the most critical poster of Torres. I would tell you Torres was a good striker when he was in Liverpool but he started losing it towards the end of his stay there That was when Chelsea went to pounce on him out of desperation or maybe they wanted a Blond haired striker ni The main disaster was Chelsea's reaction to it, It also happens to most people in business, You know you've made a poor decision, instead of cutting your losses on time, you continue digging yourself into it more. thinking if you invest more resources and provide the environment it would turn around and be the old Torres of old Torres should have stayed beyond 18months at Chelsea =========================================================================== Example at Bayern we followed Giovani Elbers advise and bought Breno from Brazil for 12M when he was one of the best youth prospect in Brazilian league and gave away Hummels our own youth player. After the first season I knew Breno was a bad choice but the management made that same emotional decision I spoke about. Commited more funds to helping Breno give him the family like environment he wanted, enrolled him in German classes, even forced players to be his friend. He put up 1 or 2 good performance and they were like it worked(Similar to the Torres few games at the beginning of the 12/13 season vs Newcastle backheel which nateevs and coogar ejaculated to for months ). We continued until Breno eliminated us vs Inter Milan with one of the most foolish defensive display you would ever see in football. Instead of learning our lesson we sent him on loan to a smaller club,. He put 4 good performances we brought him back Breno ended up burning his own house, commiting arson and going to jail Now he is back in Brazil a felon |
