CHELSEA FOREVER! - Home of the Champions!

[Bakes]

Mourinho just lose to the master of grinding out results: Tony Pulis.  I thought Chelsea should have come out a bit more attacking minded, especially seeing how Pulis' teams play.

Pulis like he abandon de hoof and chase strategy.  Not yet "pretty" football, but good attacking game today. Bolasie, Jerome and Puncheon had Chelsea backline busy whole game.

Well, if that cost you your last job, as fans were getting tired of that style, wouldn't you learn a lesson.  Word is that Pulis ad agreed to change his approach to the game at Stoke, and had even submitted a proposal to management and the Board, but they just wanted to go on a different path.  When your chief scout comes out and basically blasts your approach to the game, that is not a good sign, and that is what happened at Stoke.

Ok, time for Chelsea to call back Romelu Lukaku.

They need some fire power going into the next rounds.

Victor Moses and Lucas Piazon is also options. Torres confidence is a problem since he join Chelsea.

[asylumseeker]

What distribution by Courtois into Koke!

[asylumseeker]

Wow! No Terry, no Cech.

Ah hope alyuh see glimpses of what's to come at the Bridge. Late in the game Mourinho tested a bit of his tactics for the next leg and it looked like it worked. Then he promptly called the dogs back into the yard.

[davidephraim]

So watch Baccaaaannnalll now.   Cech out for Season. What does that mean in real time?  One scenario is that we recall Courtois?  Begs to question, exactly how hard Petr Cech really fall. didnt look that bad to me in the onset. The air is rife with speculation. Would be such a sinister sick move by mourihno, I might have to buy a Mourihno T-Shirt if it playout!

As for Lukaku, dont think Mour like him.

Mourinho threatens to play weakened Chelsea team against Liverpool
• José Mourinho plans protest at being made to play on Sunday
• Manager to seek Abramovich's consent but could forfeit title

José Mourinho is threatening to rest virtually his entire Chelsea team and potentially hand Liverpool the Premier League title after revealing he will seek permission from Roman Abramovich to pick a deliberately weakened side in protest at being made to play the game on Sunday.

Mourinho's plan is likely to infuriate the Premier League and also has serious ramifications for Manchester City, who are relying on Chelsea to beat Liverpool and throw the title race back open.

However, Mourinho is furious that the game was not switched to Friday or Saturday when Chelsea have the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atlético Madrid at Stamford Bridge the following Wednesday and is willing to risk sacrificing their slim chance of the title unless Abramovich, the owner, blocks him.

The Chelsea manager was speaking after learning that Petr Cech dislocated a shoulder in the goalless first leg at the Vicente Calderón and that John Terry suffered an ankle injury that is likely to end his season unless they reach the final.

"I can't decide by myself," Mourinho replied when asked how the injuries would influence his team selection at Anfield. "I have to listen to the club. I'm just the manager and I have to listen to the club.

"The fact that the match is on Sunday, I think that puts the problem not in my hands but in the hands of those who decide the game should be Sunday, not Saturday or Friday. We represent English football and are the only [English] team in European competition.

"Spain have four and give them all the conditions to try to have success. So I know what I would do. I would play the players who are not going to play on Wednesday. My priority is the Champions League. But I'm not the club. I have to speak to them."

Manager should be able to pick whatever team he deems most appropriate for the club - hate the sanctions against fielding weakened teams - leagues are played over 38 matches, so win the others and any one won't matter nearly as much :p
