just curious.. how do chelsea fans feel about mourinho to united?

i remember a lot of dudes in here saying he never wanted to go to MUFC after SAF retired, but its starting to look like that wasn't the case

It will be just funny after all the parking the bus comments united fans have thrown at chelsea fans, they will now have to watch it on their end.

And Chelsea manager news.
The 4 candidates for Chelsea job are Simeone, Conte, Sampaoli, Allegri according to Di Marzio

Let's not act like Mou hasn't played some exciting brands of football outside of Chelsea . He parks the bus out of necessity really. If he does bring that style/strategy to OT then I wouldn't even be that mad,after almost 3 seasons of watching some putrid footy for about 70% of the time,any change in style is welcome by me *shrugs*

La Liga in a nutshell...

"I experimented with English, Italian and Spanish football, three of the top football sides in the world. I always say I need competition – I need competition every week. In Spain I was at an amazing club but I had four matches a year – Barcelona v Real Madrid, Real Madrid v Barcelona – and after that you win 4-0, 5-0, 5-1, 6-1…"

So it became too easy?

"Easy to win matches but difficult to win the league, because you are competing against a team that wins and wins and wins like you do, because there are two monsters together. So in the end I was champion in Spain with 100 points, and I lost the league in Spain with 91 points. Whereas in England you win leagues with 75, maybe less, so I need competition."

It's been established here that everyone agrees the prem is super competitive.

Mou's reasoning for the competitiveness in England vs La Liga had nothing to do with the quality of opponents RM and Barca face, but was entirely about the 2 clubs being monsters. Also I've seen RM and Barca have enough tough away fixtures against good opponents and derby matches where they drop points to know that isn't the case. Atleti also won the league recently (nearly a treble, were 10 seconds away from a CL) and if Jackson wasn't a complete bust and Barca didn't have arguably the greatest front 3 in the history of the sport, could have been ahead yet again.

Dudes need to stop with that but could RM and Barca do it in a wet cold night in Stoke mentality

I mean yeah, the potential's there, he's gotten up to an 86 on my FIFA career lol. He's just too inconsistent. In my short time watching the sport, I've come to the conclusion that anyone can score a world class goal, it's the consistency that separates the world class from everyone else. But hopefully he'll get there.

absolutely agree, consistency is key and he still needs work to become the polished/complete footballer we see in him. Last year he was one of our best players along with Alexis to start the season than the real unfortunate injury happened; this season, whether it was him really getting down on himself for not making the immediate impact he might of thought he would, it just seemed this season like he was always trying to do too much with good intention but in turn played himself out the team with bad performances. The very second he gets the chancd to get more minutes he goes down with injury. You always see him actively trying to get on the ball as much as possible and looking to make something happen, I think those trying to hard moments will turn into positive impacting moments. Hopefully he responds to these bad performances in the beginning with a strong second half

Alexis has been very poor today, showing no quality at all.

Dude ain't been right since he came back

in due time my friends, just a few more matches to shake the rust off. Meanwhile cech continuing to be the boss that he is

 

[josh4523]

Hopefully this next match is much more livelier than this W rn. I got Chelsea with the narrow upset, 2-1

Seriously hate the way he's become undroppable for some reason...

Carrick and Fellaini?

Should be easy for Matic and Mikel to press.

Tony vs Ivanovic

 

[8pm at msg]

I actually think we can walk away with a W here

All in-line with LVG's style of play, so he says, of course... 

 

[8pm at msg]

Willian made a monstrous run there but Matic wasted it

 

[Sinner]

United with great possession and build-up.

Chelsea with dangerous counter-attacks. 

 

[rolaholic]

Pretty lively starts for both sides so far

A goal must be coming surely with all this possession and chances right?

 

[8pm at msg]

All these corners are making me sick

 

[Sinner]

A goal must be coming surely with all this possession and chances right?

For Chelsea...

Willian scares me on those counters :\. I have a good feeling we won't go scoreless though,this is more in line with the last few weeks so far than the usual footy we see.
