Redknapp going in there for half a season before they get Simeone in the summer is actually quite a scary thought. Imagine Hazard with the shackles taken off...

Agree but that's nearly a month away. I don't think he will last the week. But if I were Chelsea, is write this season off, and sell 7-8 players in the summer and start again with mourinho. They won't get a better manager than him. Shocking fall from where they were. Shows what confidance can do to a football team
There are countless of football managers who are better than mourinho and if chelsea want to think about long term , they need to sack this fraud and overrated mourinho ... Mourinho has got zero vision and no plan B on how to deal with players who are out of form, how to bring youth players and most importantly how to talk in media... Conte, ancelotti , simeone are far more better and progressive coach than mourinho ...

Liverpool weren't all that great. Chelsea seriously is just that bad right now. Judging by their form, if they can manage Top 8 that's a success. They are truly awful.

I love that Mourinho completely changed his tactics after that first goal and basically cost them the match as a result.

It's such a joy to see all of this unravelling, almost like a victory for football. Mourinho knows that he has no one to turn to and is struggling to come up with the answers.

Blame the officials? Done that.
Blame the physio? Done that.
Blame the media? Done that
Blame the players? Done that
Blame himself? it's all that's left, but there's no chance he'll do that.

A lot of high calibre managers have dug their team out of a rut, yet Mourinho seems incapable, he just deflects everything with his attitude, rather than taking a look in the mirror to find the answer to halt the slide. The problem is that he normally jumps or is pushed before it gets this bad which saves his reputation. I hopeChelsea do keep him, so that we can all see that being a great impact manager theres nothing much else there.

Personally I would have been happier with a draw, however a sound beating of what is the most despicable team in professional football is always a good result. Hopefully Citeh follow a similar path in the not too distant future as they're also a curse on the game although nowhere near as much as the Russian mafia.

Almost feel sorry for Mourinho. Chelsea really is his spiritual home - bland, immoral, and happy to buy success rather than develop it. He came back as the returning prodigal son, and I honestly think he realises that he'll never find another club that suits his particular skill set. Now he's failing spectacularly and his reputation is in tatters. The plastics are keeping up appearances for now by feigning support, but it's only a matter of time before he's pilloried by them - realising that his own fan club don't really give a shit who is at the helm as long as they can continue to purchase glory.

I did say 'almost'.

Missed the majority of the match. Can you enlighten me?

CFC came out of the gates flying and got an early goal. As soon as the were up 1-0 Mou effectively parked the bus and was just content to absorb pressure and hit out on counters. It sort of worked for about 47min....LFC were having trouble with anything in the middle of the pitch and were resorting to lobbing in crosses aimed at Coutinho (5'7") and Lallana (5'8") which was resulting in nothing all that effective. The majority of the first half of the game was a great display of 2 really mediocre looking teams.

Once LFC tied it Mou tried to get CFC back to playing the way they did in the first 4 minutes of the game and they lost their defensive form and LFC capitalized.

The Special One might have had one point saying that Lucas should have had a 2nd yellow?

Lucas should have been banned against us but avoided a definite double yellow in the previous game ... and as for Milner v us!!

A quote from a Chelsea forum;

Bit pissed at the mo so i dont want to write anything i regret apart from the fact iam totally f##ked off with this now wether joses the problem or not this sh#t has to stop now its gone on for far too long for anyone to call it a crisis this is a f##king catastrophy of the highest order and the board haveto start acting before this turns into proper relegation battle...

Lucky for them we beat Bournemouth to ease their relegation fears.

This is a good one from the shed end

Putting innuendo; and jokes aside; we will never know how much Evas departure has impacted on the psyche of the players. Ok she had no impact on the team or tactics; but I think she held a certain hold over them and they miss her. To them its probably along the lines of a breavement; that and the departure of Cech. Petr was a commanding figure on and off the field. I think some might need councilling daft as it sounds.

I can't see Ancelotti going back especially after how he was treated. BTW watch out for Ancelotti in the new Star Trek film lol, he is playing a doctor iirc.
Conte and Simeone wouldn't leave before the end of the season
Redknapp and Brenton aren't as good but are good options as stop gaps until the summer as is Hiddink like he did before, before getting someone like Pep in if they can
I think if Mourinho did get sacked, I can see Terry becoming a player manager.

I can't see either leaving before the end of the season

Terry as player manager would be great, I'd love to see that. That thick-as-shit chav would be so out of his depth, he'd drag them so far into the mire that they would be buggered for a generation.

It's a delight to see them back where they belong, jumped up tossers.

Strange, All those defeats and we are only a mere 6 points ahead.
It "could" be 9 by Monday night.
But that's the down side of drawing so much. You can afford a few defeats if your other results are wins.

Fact is though, Liverpool are getting a few decisions going there way re: second yellows and I say yet again, consistency of refs in our league remains poor.

Terry just misses (probably) sexually harassing her every day.
