Hunty 4,137 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: Official Chelsea FC Thread RDM got it spot on. Fair play to him. Torres played well, so did Ramires and Ferreira also had a good game, along with Mikel and the rest of the team as a collective. CAREFREE WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, WE ARE THE FAMOUS CFC!

Rammy 4,763 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: Official Chelsea FC Thread I'll be honest and say I don't want Robbie to be our permanent manager. In my view, he's another Avram Grant, just a little better, Grant v2 if you may. There's no denying he's a good manager, a la WBA + MK Dons, but no. The side, like Grant, is being run by JT. The team selections may be Robbie's, but tactically that's the not the case. Also, the lads call him by his nickname. How many managers are pronounced by their first name/nickname by the players? Very few. Well, at least not the strict/accomplished ones, ie; SAF, Wenger. He's going to be a good manager and I'm extremely gald he's come in and stabilised the dressing room and passed on his past experiences as a pro, but I think we need a manager who isn't afraid to cut the cull of the squad. Robbie strikes me as a soft touch manager, he's not one to overly criticise, nothing wrong with that, but he doesn't seem like a character who can make big squad decisions. I personally, don't know who I want (well, Jose, but that won't happen), but I definitely don't want Di Matteo. It'd be just like Grant's rein all over again. Even if he wins the FA Cup, gets us fourth spot and wins us the Champions League, it won't convince me. The squad needs to be changed and he's not the man for the job, just yet. Hopefully in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in 10 years or something, yeah, I'd love to have him back, but if he went through a rough patch he would get hounded and the players would point the finger. We need, imo, An older manager who knows the EPL. Morinho, Benitez or, my personal choices, Hodgson or Pardew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The squad needs to be changed and he's not the man for the job, just yet. Hopefully in the future. 1) What basis do you have for that? Terry wouldn't know enough about tactics to influence Di Matteo much. 2) Really petty. Aren't most of the old guard still on first name terms with Mourinho? Respect or affection are the two best motivators, followed by fear. 3) Agin, I don't think he would be afraid to do it. It could be a condition of becoming manager that he overhauls a bit. I personally would like Di Matteo to be manager, maybe with a director of football. He is Italian so he probably wouldn't mind that. I think the whole soft touch thing is carefully designed to get the best out of the players whose morale was very low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must be awfully hard on you by Arsenal not being in the CL as you're nickpicking on things which weren't offendable. That's what kids do, which explains why the average age of an Arsenal fan who posts of the Arsenal thread is 10. I'm pretty sure if a similar incident happened to a Arsenal player, you'd obviously say it wasn't a penalty. So why not with the other team (in this case Chelsea)? Jelous much? Envy much? keep on winning those Leicesters, maybe with some wins under the belt youll be able to discuss elements of a game without calling someone a fool..seems im playing with kids right here, why would i leave Just saw your edit. Actually we have wins under of belt. Eh? You are a fool though, you didn't use common sense and you said a childish comment to Kyle in 'wait, what was your favorite team again.'.
