Are Chelsea in crisis?

Depends on whether you're Italian or not.

 

[Yamen]

per the table, not really. They are 3 points behind Pool and 1 point ahead of Manure. But generally speaking, yes they are. Hope it lasts until end of Feb though.

 

[The Curr]

They're not in a crisis. If they were Italian, Scolari would have been sacked by now though

 

[Yamen]

They were doing just fine when Scolari took over. I dont know what happened down the road though!! It is kind of strange to see a team with a good Manager and Class players stumble like that!

In my opinion it's because other teams have gotten used to their tactics now.

Exactly.

 

[Yamen]

Which are what? I dont see them playing football at all. No actics, no spirit. Its like they dont care anymore to win or lose.

HOw could Scolari keep Bosingwa handle CR? He was really shitty! Plus Scolari knows CR very well and should have prepared for a better option to hold his runs.

People have figured out that if you close down Chelsea's fullbacks, you basically kill their greatest point of attack

Chelsea are in crisis.

Fear a backlash.

I do. Unfortunately I can't see them continuing to play the way they are now up until we play them.

absolutely, they are so narrow in midfield it is unreal and if the fullbacks are shut down they struggle. they are terrible at defending balls from wide positions also,now wide is maybe not our strongest point but if we can shut down their full backs and they try to play through the middle then i am pretty sure we can easily absorb what they throw at us

any league where fergie cud be considered a tactical genius cud never be highly rated in my book.

I don't think anyone who knows much about football would consider him a tactical genius, though he has got better at that aspect of management.

He has always been a great man-manager and is very good at getting his team to impose their style on the game, rather than adjusting to how the opponents want to play.

Juve Red is right. I don't think even Fergie would consider himself a tactical genius. In fact, I remember him criticising Wenger (back when it was a two horse race) for depending too much on tactics. Ferguson's management style involves a simple 4-4-2, good players, motivation and dicipline. It's all you need for the most part.

and also thre rivals gift them the title just like liverpool is doing now

 

[Rhizoid]

For those who saw the MUFC-Chelsea match, do you think that Juve have a realistic chance in beating them?

They have bruised confidence, and are enduring poor form, for starters.

Yes, we can beat them:

absolutely, they are so narrow in midfield it is unreal and if the fullbacks are shut down they struggle. they are terrible at defending balls from wide positions also,now wide is maybe not our strongest point but if we can shut down their full backs and they try to play through the middle then i am pretty sure we can easily absorb what they throw at us

 

[Lion]

Yes, we can beat them:

the only thing we should really worry about is a deflection goal from fat ass Frank

 

[Red]

It's okay, Buffon will be back by then.

 

[Lion]

promise?
