Jose "I will turn Chelsea around if..."

I believe the truth is a lot to do with preseason where we had a later than normal return to training and a few players have looked off the pace since.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a crock of 5h1t, the players have had 11 weeks or so to get up to speed and back on the pace. If a professional sportsman (who isn't injured) can't get himself up to scratch after 11 weeks then he has got a problem.

Stop making excuses. These players are just not interested in playing for Jose, unless you have some insider information on why the whole team cannot play for toffees,

They are interested in playing for him, I go week in week out and travel wherever we go to watch Chelsea play and it's as Jose said, the players are playing for him and they are trying.

Saying they aren't playing for him is stupid as they are, some players just don't have the bottle, Hazard and Fabregas being the main culprits. They've both been horrendous this season...

What he did to Eva was sexist and embarrassing for Chelsea, only an apology will heal the current crisis. These players are champions and only some sort of internal tensions is to blame and Dr Eva's treatment must be one if not the most compelling of all.

And who's your inside sauce

It's true that we haven't been that great for a while but the number of decisions that have gone against us has gone some way towards contributing to our poor form. I actually think that the officials are the "they" that Jose is referring to.

But I am convinced José should be allowed to have this year to try and recover our season. But only if he ceases our constricting, containment type style and actually grows a pair and unleashes the players potential
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my feeling too but I feel that's impossible for him.

Jose's built his whole career on making his teams compact and hard to beat. He'd literally have to do 180 turn on his managerial philosophy and I think he's way too stubborn to even consider that.

We've already lost 6 games in the PL but the Pool game still carried signs of our issues of old. If he was going to change he would've done it already

-----------------------------

Embarrassing ? Yes. Sexist ? Not a chance.

Jon Fearn (a man) received exactly the same treatment as Eva did that day by Jose, so it clearly had nothing to do with sexism whatsoever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely agree and for Eva to have worked in a very male dominated industry im sure she must have encountered some swearing and shouting before. She also looks like she is saying something back to Jose so I don't think it is as bad as everyone is making out. And this is coming from a woman's perspective too! Maybe it is just political correctness gone mad.

Have you read this article by Danny Murphy on the BBC site? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34668718

He talks through quite a few of our issues, it's definitely worth a read. Anyway, he focuses on Hazard and he's playing arguably better than he was at this stage last season.

Fabregas on the other hand...

Thanks! Yes I had a read through that the other day, it's weird how he's saying Hazard is playing well because it doesn't look like it in the games I've been too

I go all home and a few away. No way are the players not playing for him. They are below par by a long chalk. I feel the anxiety with every ball that's played into our box. Too many scuffed clearances. Players going for the same ball and some look scared to play the ball. I stand by my earlier comments re preseason. Sure they are fit now. I didn't say they weren't but when Costa and Fabregas came back looking over weight and unfit and we started so poorly the rot was setting in so dismissing these thought as a "crock" is short sighted from that poster.
I agree it's more complex but those points are some of the reasons I believe.
Jose isn't blameless. He would've set up preseason training so he should accept that as an error.
I don't believe anyone else will rally our squad either.
The pressure is well and truly on and it will pain me to see him sacked. He's not bigger than the club but he is a part of our recent history and should be given time
