Some excerpts from Dennis Bergkamp's autobiography that comes out later this week that looks to be very enlightening. Sir Alex Ferguson also has an autobiography coming out later this year. While I don't particularly care for him, that may be a good read considering the amount of time that he spent in the game and all his achievements.

Chelsea doesn't have the personnel to play their old style of long diagonal balls anymore, that's exactly what he was saying. They have a team of small, fast, technical players and they need to create intricate passing lanes, not lump it up field for their CF to hold. Kick it long and Drogba would hold it up, earn a free kick, or steamroll his defender and do something amazing all on his own.


I don't understand at all, their newer personnel and necessary game plan is focused on small, fast technical players and intricate passing lanes, so that's why Mourinho is making sense to be benching their most technical player and visionary passer? It seems like that's what you are saying. That old Chelsea is completely irrelevant and has nothing to do with whether Mata and Oscar can play together or not.

Where do you think Mata will go? I think Chelsea will be willing to sell him to PSG, but really the ideal place for him is United.

Don't they already have Kagawa to fill that same bench-warmer position?



Exactly, it's like benching iniesta or messi cause they are not pressuring that much.


Iniesta works hard to press though, and Messi is the single best offensive player in the world, many say all time. We aren't going to bring anyone around to a different opinion over this. But Chelsea/Abramovich hired Mourinho to put his stamp on the team. If they wanted to continue with what the last couple of years showcased he would change nothing and they might as well have kept Rafa on.

I welcome the change, I'd like to see Chelsea dominating games offensively more.

Here's the interview with Mourinho after the game.

So maybe that explains why Lukaku was sent out on loan. The players won't be tempted to play long balls and crosses if there isn't a big player like Lukaku around.

Good games on tap today. First the Rome derby in Serie A, followed immediately by the Manchester derby in the Premier League, then in the evening, PSG host Monaco.

And finally we get to see Özil play at the Emirates : D

More than anything Mourinho is pragmatic, and while I've never always been a fan of his pragmatic approach he knows his teams abilities better than other people.

He is also incredibly flexible in terms how he can get teams to play. He's taken a bit of a different approach with Chelsea this time around which should at the very least be entertaining if not successful, very interesting developments..

Not sure why competent players like Kagawa, Hernandez, Nani weren't starting this game. Smalling should be pulled, hell put Valencia back there. Cleverly in now Kagawa still on the bench. Moyes is in over his head.

this game escalated quickly, feeling really bad for Utd, but i guess they deserve it when they keep Kagawa and Nani on the bench

I really want to know the real reason why he is not playing Kagawa at all.
