We simply can't win the league, or any major competition, with such dire and negative football.
Why does jose always set up his team, to nullify the attacking threat, whenever we face a strong team?
People often criticise us of playing boring football, or parking the bus, despite the amount invested in the squad...well, who can blame them for making such statements?
This season, we've had the chance to beat Mutd @ OT, but no...Jose thinks a draw is a better result away from home.
Fast forward the away game @ Emirates, he also sets up his team for a draw, because from José's point of view, a point is better than 3 points away from home.
Seriously, Jose is killing this team. He's succeeded in turning this team, that has the potential to play beautifully, and also win games, to a team, devoid of any creativity.
It's very sad watching Chelsea these days.
I thought Benitez was bad, even though he managed to make the team play some decent footie, and above all...win some silverware, but Jose...he's been awful!
We Can't win any major competition!

We approached the game in a specific way because we didn't want to fall behind in the title race and didn't have the midfield to dominate Arsenal
Had Lampard's volley gone a bit lower or Willian didn't shoot straight at the keeper the plan would have gone to perfection and we'd be joint top. We approached this game exactly like we did against Man U at OT last year just Mata had his 1 chance and took it but today we didn't.

Oi Mr C.
Wasn't it you who was worried about Walcott all day today ?

We were all worried with Ivanovic's recent form

I didn't know Jose would make us sit that deep
Didn't Kevin predict us to win by 4 goals

You expected an AVB high line ?

AVB's high line didn't even matter we were just all over the shop defensively

I expected us to pass the half way line yes

The way some fans are going on, its like they actually want tonight's performance to be the style of play Chelsea move forward with.
----------------------------------------------------
As a style to play away from home agst teams like Arsenal i would want it every time, it is exacyly how to beat them...............(if we had goal scorers)

We really haven't shown many signs of progress at all in the last few months
-------------------------------------------------------
This is true, in fact in some areas (defending)we have gone backwards..........
But we have not progressed for over 5 years now, the idea that it is the manager's fault each time has been proven incorrect
