and he axe has fallen!!! scolari I knew it would have come, i just felt it. he turned us into shit. we have never struggled so much in our lives to get a point. now they better get someone damn good!!!
We want wilkins out to!!!
Replying to Nick: i dont think zola should be in it .. i want not experiments !!

mancine or rijaark for me if we cant get back JM

Rijaard would turn us into attack central with goals to kill, with defensive balance, while mancie would give us back our efficiency with a mix of attack and defense.
we want that cup so bad!!! please god let it be a good coach … not someone that tricked us like scolari…. I really though he was our savour for a while.
as i said rijkaard knows good players!! mancine has wona few cups in his time.
i believe the reason mancine didnt go to man city was because he suspected scolari would get the axe sooner or later and he wants to coach a big team, but rijkaard will be fresh and ready to go !!

up you might blues! (scolari the destroyer has left!)

just adding what i forgot in reply to michaek mariens,
The players lack motivation. And they don’t know in which direction the club is going (huh 500 milllion pound debt).
- a true professional would not be affected on the pitch by this, if they are, they should play harder to bring money to the club, the team is half asleep, our players are worn, do you honestly expect the same line up for all 38 premiership games plus champions league, fa cup and carling cup, it can never work, never. Scolari had never pit our youngsters who have so much talent and need a chance to break through properly against lower teams, players like stoch, manciennce, sinclair, di santo are all ready for the premiership, even capello called mancienne up to international level, yet scolari cannot let him play burnley? Some of our players, i.e the ones i am not fond of like belletti, were never motivated to do anything they couldn’t be bothered to do, so mourinho and grant dropped them, scolari doesn’t, the most he ever did was drop drogba for not pulling out miracle goals

I have my theory and philsophy.
-what are they?

Scolari is a credible manager.-True.
-he is, but is not ready for this league, he should maybe start in brazil and try a country like spain or italy first
it is not his credibilty we dispute, but his ability

But I was dissapointed when Chelsea sold Arjen Robben and brought in Florent Malouda (there was sebastian schweinsteiger, ricardo quaresma morten gamst pederson etc) .
-mourinho said when he brought malouda to london, he is not robben’s replacement, and also don’t forget mourinho had a list of other players he wanted but the team did not get
i like pederson, i like petrov, i love podolski, but back to the point, getting a left winger is a difficult process, had mourinho been with us at the end of last season, i’m certain he would of brought in quaresma, another winger and a rightback, and gotten rid of a few more players

blue m
i dont agree with you because all chelsea players have ability to pass the ball
what do you count as skill? ball control? dribbling ability? passing?
lampard does alot more for chelsea than make long passes just like terry does alot more than wear a captains armband
our team has all those abilities, the majority of our players are talented passers, can all control the ball well and can exhibit some dribbling abilty, the right manager will do well with chelsea
ranieri was ok, he was a stable manager, but not quite what we needed, mourinho was perfect for the squad, he did alot on a professional and personal level for the team
i do not think grant nor scolari has done this
the players have tried the scolari system, it does not work for them, so scolari either needs a new system or we need a new manager, that is the way it is
a coach that develops a solid backline and gets the attack co-ordinated properly is exactly what we need, that is not scolari
euro 2008
if i need to go into more depth, playing ferreira at left back
christiano ronaldo as a single striker playing in front of deco with two defensive midfielders
portugal got through on the back of ronaldo, they play a germany team who is pretty much an international chelsea, and get sent away on their asses

michael mariens, lol
i did have alot of faith in scolari, I’ve just come to the point where i don’t feel i can defend him anymore
we play the same team in every competition, im not sure why he chooses to do this
I don’t think you can defend him much longer, it takes a special man to admire benitez for starters, lol
when we were looking for a manager, i expected rijkaard, we got scolari and i thought hmmn, here is a credible manager, but he hasn’t lived up to that, we started the season with a huge warning to the rest of the world but now little teams are playing us looking to steal points, we should not be taking that and scolari doesn’t seem to accept the problem lies with him, maybe in a different league with different players, he would do better, but him and chelsea are not working well

huntelaar is over rated and will suck like shit in the prem league, doesnt have the strength or skill of ruud and is too slow to be great. If chelsea want a striker(we dont really need 1) go for benzema if we gonna aim high for names. What chelsea needs is a winger or a formation change so that we dont use wingers because chelsea wingers are crap. The problem with chelsea is in midfield, chelsea’s midfield is a shadow of its former glory, lampard, mikel look tired. Ballack, deco not performing, essien injured and the wingers are shit. We cant control the midfield and we cant exploit the wings.
What chelsea needs is to let go of ballack, let go of ferriera, drogba and malouda.
That will save a crap load on the wage bill in their place buy veloso or another capable DM/CM who can add some steel to the midfield during tough games. Either stop using wingers completely or get 2 really good ones. If 2 good ones then j.cole becomes a sub at best. Start using kalou as striker the kid can score if given the chance, he just isnt any good in the wings. Buy a replacement for bridge or promote a youth teamer(none really good enough).
I want a team that when we put out the midfield becomes a rock. I miss essien so much because he provides the true box to box DMing that ballack/lampard/deco cant do and nearly all the big teams have them these days if they use the 433.

@18 | TruePlatinum

Firstly I rememer in December when we were making love holding hands and I was your man. lol

the team are exhausted

- The players lack motivation. And they don’t know in which direction the club is going (huh 500 milllion pound debt).

there is no rotation and it irritates me, scolari seems to think chelsea is a computer game, no doubt we are an elite squad, no doubt our lack of physciallity is a scolari side effect

- I have my theory and philsophy.

it becomes apparrent that scolari is not right, even for me, someone who was a firm supporter

-Scolari is a credible manager.

i dont want to see outrageous comments like bring back grant, bring back pizarro, one thing i was happy about scolari to do, was to remove deadweight, but the biggest problem i had, was him allowing wayne bridge to leave and not having a replacement lined up

-True. But I was dissapointed when Chelsea sold Arjen Robben and brought in Florent Malouda (there was sebastian schweinsteiger, ricardo quaresma morten gamst pederson etc) .
Jose Mourinho is a good manager but he is not the best.

scolari is going to destroy this squad, yes he has connections to bring in the wonder kids of tomorrow, but it would appear much like benitez who he admires, he will only favour fellow countrymen

-True. Abdal Taraarbt, Kasper Schiemikel, Morten Gamst Pederson.

I didn’t see the match but looking at stats makes me wonder, with all the time on the ball we have, why are we missing tackles, why aren’t we skipping past the last man and putting the ball in the net? legs are tired, squad is not rested at the right time, scolari always relies on something spectacular to save us, I’m sick of it. I am actually calling for his removal, D.Ilijazi is a man after my heart, bring in Rijkaard, he has tactics, he will mesh our attack as he is that kind of coach, he built the barca team that is going to conquer the world this season.

- I don’t want to say anything.

It is not too late to salvage the campaign, we are relying on some favours, but a draw between liverpool and man utd, a win over villa, a win over arsenal and man utd & liverpool dropping points with arsenal can place us into position to contend again.
Our team needs help, scolari allowed cudicini to leave, cech does get and has been injured, hilario did well when we needed him, but do we trust him? where is storari? are we going to be forced into the hands of rhys taylor?
he allowed bridge to leave, now ashley is our only leftback, what happens when he is injured? will he play ferreira like he did in euro 08? i hope not. He sold swp and we have only just acquired quaresma
scolari has now added to the fact we have lost depth in the squad, we have a strong depth in central areas but not in the wide ones which is apparrently where scolari emphasises his game
we could of had countless stars, but he said the squad we have is good enough, our players need to rest and who can pick up the baton? good move luiz, now move on
TRUEPLATINUM FOR RIJKAARD!

- I remember. lol

I am a Representative for T-Mobile (USA) in Cape Town and I am pressed for time.

Cheers

JM had promise and delivered.
Grant didn’t have promise but nearly delivered.
Scolari had promise but delivered a nightmare season full of humiliation …. not just losses and draws….

I’d be happy with the next one …. having a litte promise and delivering a second place finish with a thumping of ManU, Liverfool and Arsey

@Vovka 64

True ,these are the same players – Few month is long time at this stage of their lives.You could see last year that we are reaching the turning point. That why Deco came in and I remember how everyone was enthuiast about his level of play in his first few games.But he soo fell to the
high demand of the EPL. He has the skill but not the strength.
LFS thought he could do something with these banch of big names, but soon realized he his lacking the skill to enable him to transform CFC.
He wanted Robinho, for the simple reason that he needed a player that can creat advantage using the ability to overtake the defence which he soon realized no one in CFC has.He gave chances to Malouda for that same reason and was disapointed.That is why he is giving more credit to Kalou who seemed to improve lately.He is unlucky with JC and he hope that quaresma will fill this gap.
Look at his face during the game in particular when he sees Drogba losing controll of the ball or Bosingwa shooting long ball to no-where.

Now who do you want him to play-rotate when as far as he is concerened there is no one arround with the right standard.
If
