The big game today is the early kick-off; clash of the blues - and I'm apprehensive.
Non Chelsea fans (because I think my fellows are asleep) - what would you do to turn the season around? Me and Fady have waxed lyrical on these boards about who we'd get rid of, who we'd keep and who we want - but I'd be interested to see what you guys think - the Telegraph thinks Lampard, Malouda and Drogba are in line to go at the end of the season - I wouldn't miss them.
Cech
Bosingwa - Luiz - Cahill - Bertrand
Essien - Romeu
Kalou Sturridge Mata
Torres
I live in hope...
AVBs problem was that he didn't stamp his authority on the team. Whether it be the summer or the January windows, he took over a seemingly close knit group and he can't control them. He should have rolled in, shipped out Malouda, Alex, Anelka, Bosingwa, Mikel, perhaps Kalou and brought in younger players.
He keeps talking about his age, but he's got a team of players were half of them aren't that much younger than him, if he got younger players in (Why we bought De Bruyne and then loaned him out I have no idea, we should be using him) they would respect more, put a stake in the clique's heart and get everyone playing.
Perhaps Drogba should go, Meireles was surely only a stop gap signing? Is Ashley Cole past it? He doesn't seem to be playing that well atm... If Terry is found guilty of racism perhaps its time for him to move on, I don't want the club to defend it.
Having a young manager is fine but you can't have an old squad. We have players who know they're untouchable and its not good enough. The likes of Lukaku, McEachran, Bertrand not getting any games (or many) for the old guard most of whom are shit.
Ramires is the future of our midfield no doubt, Luiz the future of our defence, we need better back up goalkeepers as well.
Oh and stop fucking playing Ivanovic at CB. He can't do it. He's a great right back, but he's shit at CB. We bought Cahill for a reason, and he should fucking play him.
