Just go for Mourinho in the summer. Unless he wins Champions League (and with Casillas injured in time for MU games...yeah) he's as good as fired.

Even if he wins the CL which he won't imo he is out i reckon.

I agree we don't have the correct players to play this way. But two things as i keep bringing up, we played better with it under Di Matteo that cannot even be argued and why play it if its not working under him? Try something different, you never know it might shock you and might actually work.

The way I see it is that smaller teams rolled over and just let you spank them, every good team you played under RDM you were either humiliated (Atletico, Juventus) or had results that were extremely generous relative to performances. Now, you've lost your air of invincibility and teams won't roll over against you, and other teams have upped their game making your stagnant performances look worse.

And Rafa doesn't have Mikel, who is the best of a a bad bunch of midfielders.

In the same way few teams would actually have a proper go at United, and we could get away with playing the likes of Giggs there. Now that teams have figured out he's exploitable, we get punished. i.e. Norwich, Spurs.

Rafa had Mikel for Fulham (never selected him), West Ham, Corinthians (never selected him) and QPR. Also wins against Arsenal and Spurs away under Di Matteo and deserved wins are they not good teams? When in transition results will vary until you are complete.
 
Well, Lukaku wasn't injured then - it was most likely just rotation.

In any case Mikel as anchor and Ramires as box-to-box is a closest thing that would at least resemble normal midfield , so Lukaku's injury and Mikel suspension+ACON couldn't have happen at worse time.
 
Chelsea Rhapsody

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Manage a good side
No escape from mediocrity
Open your eyes
Look at the league table and see
I'm just a fat boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm "easy come, easy go"
Long ball style, nice and slow
Anything the fans say, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Roman, just killed your club
Put a legend out of work
Hired me in, the stupid berk
Roman, season had just begun
But now you've gone and thrown it all away
Roman, ooo
Your decisions make fans cry
If Torres starts ahead of Ba tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, I've ****** it up
You've realised that I'm *****
Team keeps losing all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind with Benayoun
Roman, ooo - (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to go
I'd rather stay here laughing at you all

I see a little silhouette-o of a man
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the Fernando

Thunderbolt and lightning -- very, very frightening me
Emenalo, Emenalo,
Emenalo, Emenalo,
Emenalo, Ashley Cole -- magnifico!

I'm just a fat bloke, nobody loves me
He's just a fat bloke suffering from obesity
Spare our club from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go -- will you make him go?
Malouda! No! We will not let him go! -- Let him go!
Malouda! We will not let him go! -- Let him go!
Malouda! We will not let him go! -- Let me go!
Will not let him go! -- Let him go! Never!
Never let him go! -- Let him go!
Never let him go! -- ooo

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh Emenalo, Emenalo, Emenalo! Let him go!
Ron Gourlay has a severence put aside for him!
for him!
for him!!

So you think you can stop me ruining your side
So you think you can stop me from stating the FACTs
Oh Gourlay -- can't do this to me, Gourlay
Just gotta get him out -- just gotta get him right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Chelsea don't matter
Anyone can see
Chelsea don't matter
Chelsea don't matter to me
 
One suspects that if some Chelsea fans put as much effort into supporting their club as they did making crappy rewrites of Queen songs Stamford Bridge might be a bit more of the fortress they want it to be.

To be fair the atmosphere was never great even when it was a fortress.
 
So let me get this straight - Rafa was very disrespectful to the fans back in the day, BUT you admit your support was ****. Is anyone else seeing the irony or am I missing something here?

The stupid bastards are proving Rafa right with everything they do.
 
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Torres can't score
Because he's sore.

I said our home support was poor at most times yes. A lot of clubs home support is worse than their away support but he never attacked them? Slating another teams fans is classless which ever way you look at it.

I dunno, if you look at it from the perspective of 'Well, frankly, they are' it looks a lot less like lack of class and a lot more like #RAFAFACTS
