I really cannot understand why we find it so difficult to beat the so called "smaller teams"
I've read a few articles and the word creativity has been brought up. We always seem to find the creativity against the big teams so it can't be that much of a problem
We absolutely outplayed Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Man Utd. Creativity was not a problem in them games in fact we could of easily of scored more against most of these teams with the chances created
I think alot of it is to do with the players Mentalities. It's like they choose what games to be up for and not. I never really question the back four as they have been brilliant this season it is just the ones in front
I don't really like to single out certain players but what has happened to Oscar. He has been absolutely poor. He was easily our best player at the start of the season, what a dramatic change
But in Jose i trust and i think he wil buy the right players next season with the right mentality that we will need to win the league

It's creativity
You are a counter-attacking team. Can only play when teams open up and leave space, so you always depend on what they do. When teams sit in you don't have enough to break them down.
Mourinho can't see the value of a Mata. Cost him at Real Madrid, costing him now. He's not good at being the favourite, hence all the "little horse" rubbish.

We have a good chance of winning the Champions League because the FA and PL refrees aren't in the CL. FA and the Premier Leauge refs hate Chelsea so much. If you want to see how good Chelsea really is, just watch Chelsea in the Champions League where there are no corrupt and partial refrees. Plus did you know that the linesman, who gave the ghost penalty yesterday, was from liverpool. Jake collins, google him up

It's not creativity. Its the pace and tempo in the first 60 minutes of a lot of games, risk free, predictable, defendable football. Teams know it and set up for it. The movement ahead if the midfield from the forwards us ridiculously immobile to the point we stiffle our own play.
