Falcao is indeed one of my problems relating to the player acquisitions. Why bother if you're not going to play him. Looking more like JM didn't want him but was a cheaper option (cheaper relatively to signing someone else.....). Baffling.

Watching the game you wouldn't believe they are the champions, no desire, no passion. As for Hazard throwing himself to the ground and 'injuring' himself, he just doesn't want to play!
3 players went over to applaud the away fans - who were excellent. Says it all really. Success breeds contempt.

I still would prefer they show some gratitude to people. Easy to go lauding with fans with all's great in the world.

Fully agree, those fans travel the length and breadth of the country supporting the team every season, spending thousands every season. Last season they would have been straight over, what's the difference now? They've travelled on a Monday night, probably took a day off from graft. The least the players can do is thank them for the effort and support even though their own performance is abysmal.
Rumours of a meeting with Abramovich this morning, could be the end of 'The Special One'
From an outsider looking in it would appear 'lost the dressing room' has never been more appropriate. My question to the Chelsea faithful on here is what's to do? Stick with Mouriniho and see yourself playing in the Championship or sack him, allowing player power to prevail?
I think, given his track record with us, hes earned the right for the club to back him. Most of those players have earned fuck all loyalty from the club. Why should they get the backing? It's too easy because it's easier to offload one man than 7 but if they want to make a statement, I'd ship one player out in January, and another 3-4 in the summer. Make a real statement to the players that they aint gonna win this battle. Arguments about Mourinhos style of play, etc.... shouldn't come into it because the club appointed him knowing full well what they were getting in that respect. Some of the players have been a fucking disgrace. Matic on Monday night had worse distribution that mediocre 5-a-sides players I play with in work. And that's not an exaggeration. It was damnable. We spent 4 days preparing for that game. Same team, same system as Porto. Only difference was that that a nice home Champions League game seems to bring out the motivation in players. Away Monday night to Leicester shows who's got the commitment and character for the fight. Not many when the chips are down by the looks of it. Also, there's clearly a disjoint between Emenalos 'signings' and who Mourinho rates/doesn't rate. he's made mistakes has Jose but ultimately, it's not down to him that a title winning team has turned to relegation fodder in 4 months. Fabregas, Costa, Oscar, Matic, Hazard have been bordering on disgraceful for most of the season. given 2 of those are the midfield essentially, then no wonder we've conceded goals at the back. IVanovic and Terry have earned support as they've been great servants and they deserve some backing when the chips are down. Zouma is young and raw. And Dave and Willian have probably been the 2 more consistent performers (although both shit on Monday). So, I'd sign 2-3 players in Jan - a striker and midfielder and a centre back. Or try anyways but definitely a striker. Players who can come in and hit the ground running in the PL. There's an abundance of decent players in the PL at the minute who'd fit the bill. And start indefinitely dropping those playing shit - like he's started doing with Fabregas.
