I never expect this team to struggle but even in the face of two straight defeat I can still raise my head high to say Jose will come good this season.
Shame that people are already judging the team with just about 5 games this season, I thought we must have leant from the AVB era.
We must allow him to learn to work with the tools he has and master it, rather than expecting a quick fix with every new manager.
Jose will come good and I see us having a good season where everyone will be satisfy.
IN JOSE I TRUST- enough said
All izz well
In JOSE I Trust

We'll finish much stronger than the previous 2 seasons in the league, I'm confident of that. We will also qualify from our CL group no problem. I wouldn't bet against us winning a trophy as well.

I think the concern I have is that teams are usually starting to gel and get full match fitness at this time of the season.
We appear to have gone backwards since opening day and look like a team with zero understanding. If it takes another 5/6 games to get back on track we could already be out the CL and back in the Prem. I think they are justifiable concerns.
Jose is trying to fit players to his style rather than adapt his style to the players he has. Hazard is the prime example of what happens. he's half the player because he's not playing with his natural freedom. Mata suffers because he doesn't track back which Jose wants. Wasting such talent deserves some criticism doesn't it?

I still expect us to contest for the EPL title come May and even win it (won't be a surprise). We just need to support the team no matter what happen in the pitch while constructive criticism is allow, we shouldn't allow ourselves go overboard in condemning the players/coach

Hazard is adapting on the pitch, and for all we know Mata could be doing the same in training coming back stronger later on.
I think I'll wait till Jan/Feb. I doubt we will be struggling like we are now once we have a full squad adapted to Mourinho 's style of set up and play. If we are ill be worried, but I doubt it.
A little struggle now and we will bear the fruits of this struggle in the future.

The lack of a quality striker will be a big problem for you sorry but eto torres and ba is a poor trio especially since a dominating striker has been such a big part of your club for years now

I want to believe that both Torres and Etoo will be able to deliver the goods this period. The team just need to settle and play as a unit

------------------
Yep, looks a way better player now that he has to track back and is getting the ball 15yds deeper than he did last year
Just had his worst game ever in a Chelsea shirt and you really think he's 'adapting'?
He shouldn't be adapting to anything. We paid 30m+ for his attacking skill not for him to become a midfield tackler.

Hazard looks terrible.
Mata isn't playing.
Rumour has it Jose is starting to believe media muppets about Luiz
We're playing Eto'o upfront
Lampard starts every match
This is sounding a lot like in Arsene we Trust already.
