I really feel there's been some sort of rift between Mourinho and matic. Mourinho normally protects his players but he's telling the media he's in trouble and he can't play a simple pass
Really hope they sought it out, Matic is our most important player, for me.

I have to say the posts by MB1, JBS, Chelsea4life and at last MagicalEden has calmed down, are marginally different but ALL excellent and although we all have our favourites, they have stepped away from the emotive side and raised the issues. Posts like this make for good banter.

The strongest part of any JM team has always been the defence. Stop the goals going in and you can win most matches if you score at least 1 goal. At the moment we are defending like rank amateurs. JM is not the problem. He picks the team but he doesn't make the mistakes that are happening on the pitch.

I disagree Bruce, I'm not say I want Jose replaced, but you can't say he's not to blame and he's picking the same out of form players week in week out. He seems to pick on every player to sub or drop except for the ones that NEED dropping. Believe me players on the pitch know where there weak links are and I honestly believe they go into these matches with no confidence of a victory because of the form of whose lined up with them at kickoff when there's other options. Even if the other options turn out to not get better results, they a long overdue for a try at this point imo. If we win 2 more Epl matches this season(out of 30 more matches) with Ivan/Cahill/Terry at the back and Cesc at dm I will apologize to Jose and all those who think he's doing a good job.

However he does pick Ivanovic, who is looking a shell of his former self
Can baba speak English? I feel that's why he isn't playing.

It's not about players, it is about tactics and formation that doesn't work. He played one game with 433 and won 4:0. We're watching Real Madrid third season replay.

Hazard, John Terry hardly speaks English and it hasn't stopped him!

antibot, do not pay attention to formations, our formation Is extremely close to a 433 anyway. That's not te problem
