Everything about this is amazing.

Chelsea are real bad and yet Rodgers will still probably beat Mourinho to the sack race.

Like I said in the other thread- Chelsea hosed up by not integrating their youth. Their squad is paper thin and there is no competition for places. That's why Mourinho teams aren't sustainable.

I'm not sure you can really say this anymore. Zouma has been in the starting lineup a lot this season, and Loftus-Cheek has been on the bench for most of it. They've also had a couple of others around, but those two seem to be the hottest youth talent. You could also argue Courtois is a youth player they've integrated.

Mourinho picks the same XI (with a couple of additions) but their biggest issue is that teams have discovered that if you play a fast counter-attacking team against them they have a paper-thin defence. Once you get around their fullbacks (and specifically Ivanovic) you can get a free run on goal and their CBs are too old/slow/young to stop you.

Also there's a rumour going around that Klopp has already signed a three year deal and it'll be announced tomorrow. Personally I don't see any movement being made until midweek so we'll see if that bears out.

You really couldn't. They bought him at 19 in 2011, then immediately sent him on loan to Atletico for three seasons. He's about as much of a Chelsea-product as Hazard.

Hmm I thought they had bought him younger than that.

So glad we don't have to deal with this bullshit anymore. Hopefully we get in a nice foreign manager.

Not sure what your point is but the decision was apparently made as early as after the West Ham loss, and certainly last Thursday it was definite. It wasn't a sudden knee jerk decision.

Jose Mourinho: Chelsea manager fined by FA for comments

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been given a suspended one-match stadium ban and fined £50,000 by the Football Association for comments made about match officials.
Mourinho had claimed officials were "afraid" to award his team penalties after Robert Madley denied Chelsea a spot-kick in a 3-1 loss to Southampton.
The FA charged that his comments "imply bias on the part of a match official".
Mourinho's ban will only be enforced if he repeats the offence within a year.


Understatement of the century. Ridiculous punishment.

Sturridge is unlikely to start again Spurs. Thank gently caress we have a lot of strikers this season as they're dropping like flies. Shame Origi isn't actually any good.

Leaked line up is this

Mig
Clyne-Skrtel-Sakho-Moreno
Lucas-Can
Milner-Coutinho-Lallana
Origi

Not many goals in that team but we do seem to get good results against Tottenham regardless of who is available.

Also a few young players have traveled. Conor Randall, Jerome Sinclair and Chivarella.

This has been confirmed, though not necessarily that formation. The leaked lineup I saw yesterday had Milner and Lucas holding with Can in front, Coutinho and Lallana out wide.

Hoops posted:

Joe Allen is a perfectly fine squad player. I mean yeah, if we can improve the depth then absolutely get someone better in, but I don't see Joe Allen being on the books as a massive problem.

3 out of 4 strikers being out is just bad luck imo, it's not yet suggestive of any problems with the medical staff or anything at this stage. Don't think it's a good idea ot buy a fifth striker or anything as there's nothing to suggest that striker injuries will be a recurring problem. Ings is a one-off serious injury, Klopp says Benteke will be back next weekend. Sturridge is the only issue of concern for being crocked all the time. It's only when Sturridge and Benteke are both injured at the same time that it really hits the team hard.

It's also worth mentioning that Sturridge could have played today (from the bench most likely), but Klopp didn't want to risk him. I think under Rodgers he would've played and aggravated something, so I'm not particularly worried.

It's lovely luck that it's all happened at once (especially Ings) but next week we'll have three out of four fit enough for the bench at least.

Isn't Benteke a pretty consistent crock as well? Villa posters will know more but I thought his thing was taking ages to recover from injury, finding form and beasting it for a bit and then picking up another injury and going back to square 1.

I'm pretty sure he's only had one serious injury at Villa. No idea about before.
