In defense of the Chelsea manager, the players are secretly revolting to get him fired, how else would you explain why they've been playing like a division three team? We often blame the manager, but these guys are filthy rich and need o do what they are being paid to do, play good football.

Dick Advocaat has resigned from Sunderland, and already flown back to Holland.
Feel for the guy, if it's true that he was persuaded to stay because of promises that weren't fullfilled.

Jose's meltdown... Oh boy.
He'll probably get this season to recover/fail. Get rid too soon and the manager conveyor belt could mess up Chelsea long-term.
Or maybe Abramovich decides to embrace the RM model and sack him by January?

i don't think mourinho will be sacked on results even if he finished 10th this season, though i think the players might be able to get him fired like they did villas-boas if he alienates them enough. his sulking and paranoid obsessions and failures could also just annoy everyone: fans, media, players, higher ups, so profoundly that he has no choice but to leave like at the end in madrid, but i think the cultures are too different. (sadly)
imo they'll hit some form in the second half of the season and finish 3rd or fourth like arsenal have done after poor starts in recent history. players are too good to all be shit for a whole season.

Where would Mourinho go if he got fired or quit? He doesn't really have many top league options, either because he burnt those bridges a long time go or they don't want anything to do with the man. I'm sure there are many clubs that would want him but it has always seemed to me that his ego wouldn't allow such a move.
Who knows? It doesn't matter anyway. It is not about who is responsible, it is about how to fix the problem efficiently. Should he get fired already? No. Too early. But they also might just delay the inevitable.
Our next two games are against Villa and West Ham. On our current form, I think four points would be a decent return.
The two week break might do us some good. Breakdown or not, hopefully Mou can take stock and focus on how to turn things around. We're obviously not going to win the league this season, so he should focus on building on what we have for next season. He said that Loftus Cheek would get a run of games, so I suppose that's something.
Honestly, we just look so poor in nearly every department. It's not as if it's just one or two players under-performing - it's the whole team and setup. Factor in the self-inflicted controversy with Carneiro - who is completely in the right, by the way - and it's just a cavalcade of shit.
We need to keep hold of Mou. Who else would we get? We've burnt so many bridges with our ridiculous managerial policy that I'm struggling to think of any top class managers who would want to come - Klopp included.
I just dunno man.

It's refreshing to see Man U and Chelsea fans having a reality check on what it's like to actually be a supporter like the rest of us. The only fans that still need their heads checked are Arsenal fans, as they're the most fickle bunch around still. You finish top 4 every year, have a decent manager, a financially stable club, some very exciting players and yet you still find time to cry and moan about it all!

Hahaha Can with the godawful clearance. Still a good goal though.
If he keeps making mistakes like that, I'm happy for him to stay on.

Kopites are still some of the worst, I originally thought they had calmed down
but since coming second, losing Suarez and then Sterling it seems to have brought the rotten ones out again. They haven't taken the fall from grace well.Mr. Luchador

Shh don't pick on the Liverpool fans, they're on the verge as it is!
I see the Sunderland cycle continues with a new manager before they play Newcastle (again). This season is mental.

Rodgers is such a disaster. Liverpool getting badly outworked in the 2nd half, and he waits until 75/mins to make a change.
I don't get why people mock Liverpool or Arsenal fans.
Liverpool haven't won the league in decades, their last title was almost a decade ago and they've performed consistently disappointingly. It's a rich club with a long tradition, yet they were unable to keep their big stars, a club icon left and even worse a few years ago they had the chance to win it and gave it away.
Arsenal haven't won the league in a decade and if it wasn't for those two FA Cup wins they'd have little to show for the last decade either. They've been consistently very good, but not great. If you look at the legitimate title contenders for the past years, they're listed under also-rans. They also haven't been a big spender, despite their wealth.
Cut them some slack, especially Liverpool fans.

Oh, so you're deluded then, as that's often the term used when other fans feel the same way.

I honestly thought he was going to sky-rocket it.

De Boer needs to go, badly. He lost all his credits from the last few years. And this Ajax revolution is a failure too.
They wanna play and be as dominant as the Ajax of old days, but you can't do that anymore with the level of players they have. And they don't want to spend money to get them either.

Lukaku hit him in the back apparently. It was a decent Merseyside derby. Shame we conceded so quickly after scoring though.
