Gary Neville said it perfectly, Mourinho is rotating the squad too much, not just when picking his teams but also on the pitch with the three offensive midfielders constantly switching around. It's hard to link up your play if you constantly find yourself and your teammates in different positions. And, again, play Mata. He's trying too hard to force Mata's role on Oscar. That doesn't work. Mata is simply better than Oscar at playing as #10. I said it when he first played his 4-2-3-1 against ManU - I don't think that system will ever work out for this team. Not with Mata and Oscar who both need to play a more central midfield role. As long as Mourinho insists on playing two defensive midfielders we'll never be able to play a system that suits the players. Play a 4-1-4-1 with Mikel in defensive midfield. Mikel doesn't create much forward but he's goddamn rock solid defensively. If you want to be even more aggressive, play Luiz in CDM and Azpilicueta on the right - he's a superb hard worker who got better and better the more he played but hasn't featured a single time under Mourinho. Then play Hazard, Mata, Oscar and Willian/Schürrle and whatever striker you want and there's your team. A super creative team that plays the same type of powerplay they've been playing against both Everton and Basel but that will actually link up better naturally and has a stronger lock on defensive opponents. Plus you know, both Mata and Oscar can play at the same time? Madness, I know. The madness was to let him come back. Wasted season for Chelsea if you ask me. | ||

Obviously its more complicated than that, but that why companies throw around revenue numbers, its not just because they are bigger and sound cooler. Of course i realise that. It was just little jab/vent for poor transfer period, nothing more. | ||

Also last night it had one game (Plzen vs. MC) but it had the final score in the score ticker at the bottom while the game was going, which was fucking dumb. Maybe once baseball is over and on days there's no hockey our Fox Sports local will have some like they used to. Today there's not a drop of CL coverage in prime (after work) time, not even a highlights show. Until they replay Barcelona vs. Ajax at 3 AM. | ||

Hmm, I asked this again after everton, what's up with slumprinho? Look at this genius ![[image loading]](http://104.imagebam.com/download/BVK4-K8dLERaM-FK3fknJA/27672/276712095/Messi%20knee%20Ajax.gif) The season barely started and he has 9 goals and 1 assist. Also Neymar has a ton of assists already. I feel so sorry for cristiano though, the guy can't catch a break no matter what he does, messi must be haunting his dreams or something. If Messi breaks Raul's all time euro competitions scorer this season, only at 26yo, I'll lose my shit, just saying. 9 goals to go. | ||

Except he would probably not sign for Madrid. If he keeps this rate of improvement up, I guess Barca might make a go at him. ![[image loading]](http://i.minus.com/i2TG1JEiKdcvD.gif) So glad he plays for the Spurs  | ||

Just looks like some sort of mortal kombat move haha. With regards to Chelsea, it's just so much upheaval and the team is so shakily put together right now. Even shakier than Man City. Will take half a season to get up and running. | ||
