Filthy Germans and Man Utd don't go together ...Woohoo! Ballack and Shev aren't meant for the EPL. They clearly need a weaker league. ...they could strutt their stuff with Leeds :) Who cares what the prob with Chelski is – as long as they have a problem (or a few) and can’t really resolve it.

…Woohoo!

Ballack and Shev aren’t meant for the EPL. They clearly need a weaker league.

Most people worked that out a month before he arrived. Ground-breaking stuff. Thing is, I don't remember anyone complaining when Barcelona's midfield was over-run twice a couple of months ago. Where was this genius 14-year-old boy in India with self-deluding insight then? It’s taken 8 months to realise Ballack is the figurehead of adidas in Germany, has it?

Everyone has been focusing on Shev but Ballack seems to get no flack. He was non exsistent in that match. I agree. Everyone has been focusing on Shev but Ballack seems to get no flack.

All I wanna say is - any intelligent football viewer will never play down Mourinho's calibre. It's IN YOUR FACE when you see mid-game formation changes or 3 subs before half-time, reverting the face of a losing game. Also, Chelsea's tactical superiority in utilizing set-pieces is undisputed. The only sad thing right now are injuries to key players. And worse, some really seasoned footballers are taking too long to adjust themselves to English style of play. I hope over summer.... Mourinho and his squad will take their time and give serious thought to redeploying the talent, strategy and integrating the key recruits. Beginning of the season, talent was there more than previous years..... time wasn't, respite wasn't. Haste is making waste.

Arsenal are a Nike team but Henry is sponsored by Reebok if im not mistaken. (I may be though) The problem I believe is Chelsea is easy money and old players who are looking for a cash cow to ride till the end of their careers such as, Ballack and shevchenko have found it. They have and will not add anything significant to Chelsea except for a flash here and there. Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U and a host of football fans all called the two signings rediculous but the Chelsea fans hailed it as proof that they were now the IT team to play for. You are now paying for your ignorance and that of the boards. Mourinho is at a loss because for the first time in his career (Porto included) he is not able to rely on luck or money to solve his problems. He is proving that he is one dimensional and really and truelly that there is nothing special about him. Saying all that though, Chelsea do have the ability to win the league still. But Mourinho needs to realise you cant play Ballack and Lampard in the same team. As a matter of fact he would do well to drop them both and go with Essien and Claude, Chelsea's two best players apart from Drogba.

Mourinho should also try a midfield without "Lord" Ballack. Chelsea can recover from this gloomy moment if Terry and Carvalho are fit. Mourinho should also try a midfield without “Lord” Ballack.
