Nah, we were solid defensively under Ancelotti, held good shape and that was some of the best football I've seen at the bridge, 09-10 season. We were regularly turning teams over 5,6,7 and even 8-0 on the final day.

People stil badmouth Ancelotti to this day for the one 'bad' season but blow smoke up Mourinho's backside despite the state he has left us in. I'll never understand that. I'd take Ancelotti back over Mourinho anyday.

Mourinho the first Manager to be blameless for his team's poor performance despite mountains of evidence (such as the teams performance yesterday) that his mere presence created a poisonous atmosphere

Welcome to the English media and fans and world of utter delusion

So true godfather n barney, and thick fans singing about jose yesterday all game, calling guys rats, need to educate their tiny minds and find out what their cult jose was at behind the scenes.
The whole team were demoralised, with only two playing -well, imo......thanks to jose tha nasty bully.

Who identified rats,when only willian and zouma played ok, making at least ten other rats, by jose thick fan logic?

When jose goes to Utd will our dopey jose zombies cheer them?

Fyi, read jack pitt-brooke, ian herbert or mark ogden for the real jose story..

I knew jose had ego issues, but he is a machiavellian maniac.

Just look at how chelsea enjoyed football after two days free from his sapping influence😃

Blue tex.

I was a jose man until this season, and accepted his arrogance, as he was our winner, but when he turned on chelsea players, doc Eva, our ball boys, as well as refs, sky tv, all rival managers who had a brain, it was time to ask......do you ever look in the mirror when your team are near relegation, and ask, is it me?

Honestly, the posters that have popped out of the woodwork and claimed that yesterday's performance and result against an appaling Sunderland team was
because Jose sacked are either desperate, stupid, or desperately stupid.

Biggish I think we probably would have beaten Sunderland with Jose.

What I'm more interested in is Oscar doing all the tricks yesterday. That didn't sit right with me. He in my opinion is one of the rats. Fair enough Jose lost it at the end but I stil feel there are certain players that need to be kicked out of the club. Namely costa oscar and hazard

We were very fortunate that we played Sundeland ,a poor team. but hey , we got a win and that could be the catalyst for a coming season of progress and sucess !

Stupid......backing jose with chants all game, after he made the whole team play so badly for months.

Stupid....believing that great players such as hazard, oscar, costa were rats, coz jose picked on them.

Stupid...letting jose blame all players,bar two, the refs, Eva, Sky tv, motd, and everyone barr himself, for chelsea losing nine. Games out of sixteen.

Stupid...jose had Real madrid players split and hating him, but was infallible at chelsea?

Stupid....allowing jose to let mata, lukaku, de bruyne, schurrle go, while mikel stay 😠

Stupid..believing jose was solely responsible for us winn i ng the epl, as he said he alone lifted players to a higher level.....so we win due to him, but lose due toplayers betrayal, aye dead on😬

I can go on, but that op e ns the case for the defence......something jose also got wrong😉

This isn't about beating Sunderland, but d joy and freedom with which d players played yesterday.

I was very much against Mourinho's sacking however I seen a big improvement yesterday albeit against probably one of the worst PL sides, We played with a freedom and swagger.

Jose is gone, I loved the success he brought us and deeply appreciate it but what I won't miss is playing like Stoke against the better teams in the prem.

I'm not sure who the next manager will be but I don't want to see negative football. If we lose 4-3 but go for it then I'm sold. That's what I want to see at the bridge.

If you feel bullied, undermined and hated by your boss, you may underperform at work, or at least feel unsettled.

Jose did keep picking those rats, betraying his masterplan weekly, so what does that say about his management, tactcs.
Why not let remy or loftus cheek get a run, if costa oscar and hazard were crap?

One game, 48 hours after he was sacked, agst Sunderland? Is it possible that Sunderland gave us the freedom? It was only in the first half too, we have played better this season than yesterday.

Yeahhhh , so eat your' f'kin cornflakes tomorrow and think a bit !

Because he put his faith into those same players and hoped they would perform again mate.

I think for now. Letting Jose go was the right decision and then in the summer, I would sell costa oscar and hazard.

We really do have some deluded fans....why can't some fans accept that Mourinho does have a bad influence on his players after a while? This was clearly evident during his time at Madrid, and has also been the cause of our decline this season.

Besides, where were all these blind worshippers of Mourinho expecting him to take the club in the next 3,4 or 5 years? The man has no clue how to develop or nurture youngsters.

But for the threat of relegation, I would have wanted him to remain in charge for all to see his shortcomings as a manager; short-sighted arrogant person, with no humility and who would blame everyone and anything but himself.

Good riddance in my eyes and hopefully for good this time.

I would have kept Jose till the end of the season just to see, but the truth is for the most part, watching us play for the last 2.4 season has not been that enjoyable.

I am ready for the club to go in a new direction, but they have to he patient. Any new manager shd get three seasons unless it is obvious he is not up to the task.

Stupid for what I wrote in my op. Now you have listed a whole lot of new points, nothing to do with yesterday's game.

I would let hazard, costa, and oscar, plus cahill, terry, matic,fabregas,pedro,remy,loftus cheek, ivanovich et al prove themselves.......not just the so called three rat pack????

We can differ, but agree on wanting the best for Cfc lads.

Now addressing those points...

The only ones I would challenge strongly are about letting Mata and co go....the only one that looks like it will beca huge mistakevis De Bryne.

Swtn

I am not sure who popped out of woodwork to say sacking jose eqauated to winning yesterday.

One game is not an I told you so moment, but chelsea looked better, happier and we one, even though mackems,were awful

Bring on man utd, under jose hmmmm😬

No one at Chelsea cares what you think you are all deluded

Explain juan, please.

Do you mean Roman and the board ignore us minion's.....really?

We live delusion lives, but that philosophical debate may or may not exist😥
