The tabs may be getting a bit carried away with themselves. Class endures, and Matic is a class act.

As the old saying goes - I first heard Ian Botham use it about David Gower, but I'm sure it's much older than that - class is permanent, form is temporary.
But when a lot of class players are out of form at the same time, as is the case at the Kremlin, the whole team suffers, as we have seen from Chelsea's results this season.
One poster, I forget who, sorry, noted that the eye-gouger never rotates and because of that, they were run into the ground last season. That has, undoubtedly, affected them and we are seeing - and revelling in - the results of this policy almost every game.
Isn't it hilarious?

They don't have much choice playing the same players as their strategy seems to be sell to buy. The big problem is that their recent buys have largely not played and then gone out on loan e.g. Salah.

Can they really finish top four? I feel as if they've left themselves a mountain to climb, maybe if they got rid of the whinging one?

Any word on who they would actually look towards to replace Maureen? I don't buy the Brenda talk for a second
Only speculation but Simeone. He'd probably be a sound choice if Maureen goes.

It's a player revolt mate, nothing to do with form, they've downed tools on him imo...
Although it couldn't happen to a nicer person, you have to question the professionalism of some of that squad, it echoes mancin's last season here, great impact managers, however, not sustainable over long periods...

Willian would be top in a proper pressing side, like Klopp's Dortmund in their pomp.

Think Mourinho has taken all the flair and fun from the game. Chelsea have some very very good players
and that twat wants them to play like Jack Charlton.
