Di Matteo loses control of the Chelsea dressing room
Roberto Di Matteo has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks, with the Chelsea team´s current slump in form, as well as Pep Guardiola speaking about a return to management next summer, then on Saturday after Chelsea´s 2-1 loss to West Brom, raised voices and arguing were heard coming from the Chelsea dressing room.
Petr Cech is rumoured to be at the centre of the dressing room bust up, furious after Chelsea’s poor defensive display left them four points behind Premier League leaders, Manchester City.
It is not known as to who said what, but the lines ‘rubbish – and you all know it’ and ‘Call yourself Champions League winners?’ Were overheard.
David Luiz, who must have been at the centre of some of the defensive complaints, played down the row, saying ‘We were upset, it is normal. We are disappointed as we should have won this game.’
‘Of course it’s normal. This is a big club and you cannot lose games.’
Robbie has an important week ahead of him, in which 2 more losses could end his reign as boss, with a loss all but eliminating them from the Champions League, and then a further loss leaving them 7 points behind Man City.
The manager has claimed that he will be looking to make some changes to the usual set-up of the team, with David Luiz and Fernando Torres at the top of my wish-list for the axe. I personally don´t care what changes are made, as long as they get us through this coming week without a loss.
Up the Blues!!
Luiz , torres and bertrand should be dropped.
Use azpiecueta, ivanovic,cahil, and cole
Ramires, mata, oscar
Moses, sturidge and harzard.
Per harps all chelsea players should be defensive conscious. No free man unmarked and have the die hard and never give up attitude lik man u. We should play massive attack and defence…
Not lack lustre attitude.
It looks almost like Torres is gradually sacking Di Mateo from his managerial position with his frustrating Chelsea career. It is very sad for managers to be sacked due to poor performance of players like Torres. Di Mateo has done his possible best and is now even frustrated with performance because I don’t know why he sometimes keep Chill on the bench and play Luiz. (not a big problem) the issue now is Chelsea isn’t scoring so you think Di Mateo isn’t good. Go and get a striker and just one additional defensive midfielder to Mikel and you will see the best of Mateo. Buy Falcao and start using Romeu nd the team is o.k.
Yeah bench luiz,torres,bertrand if u still want to remain as chelsea boss
Go with this squad
…………………………..CECH……………………………
AZPILICUETA….IVANOVIC….CAHIL…..COLE
………………..RAMIRES………..MIKEL……………
HAZARD…………….OSCAR………………..MATA
………………………..STURRIDGE……………………
No. Let him keep playing a finished-Torres and a skill-less Betrand. I want us to loose more games so that this incompetent Di Matteo will leave our club for good. Chelsea for life.
I believe Chelsea would benefit more from not playing Luiz & Torres in some crucial games like upcoming Juventus & Man city clashs.
If RDM wants to still remain as chelsea boss, he should leave Torres out of the team and make use of a more agile and mobile Stutrrige. David luiz also should be dropped Betrand is still far from being a chelsea player. He should be relegated to the feeder team. Ivanovic should take his CB positiom while Azpi mauround the right back. Mikel should learn how to man-mark a player and not stroll to free spaces else his days may be numbered as a chelsea player. up blues.
Fans must not be fickle. Di Matteo has achieved extraordinary things in a short time. The best of teams have momentary slumps. Di Matteo turned our slump around last year; he knows how.
Di Matteo is not bad, but he also has his weaknesses. He must have considered that Chelsea has got no room for loses as a result of trying out his combinations.
