Scolari Out-Hiddink In, Views and Expectations


Ok now this domain change and revival of my feed has given me a new enthusiasm to write so i'll resume my posts for some time atleast..although might not be as indepth as earlier but i will still write..
Ok now the biggest news right now..Guus Hiddink!!..Ok first lets talk about the circumstances that led to him being here..Chelsea last hope to keep pace with the league leaders was at Anfield where we got screwed yet again..I know that the Lampard Red Card was horrendous but even with him there i dont think we'd have avoided defeat..anyways after that Hull City..I would actually call ourselves fortunate to get away with a draw..ok we had more possession,more shots and all but believe me Hull came much closer to scoring than we did..Thats been the problem throughout for us..No clear cut goal scoring opportunities..now at a time like this I am not at all surprised or dissappointed that Scolari got the boot..now many have said that the manager needs time etc..etc..but for once i support Romans decision on managers..Jose Mourinho was definitely the best so Roman got it wrong there..and Avram Grant well he was clever..he kept the JM type team going on and allowed senior players like Lampard and Ballack to drive the team forward rather than himself fine..But Scolari? its not about the performance..its about the team mentality which has really suffered under him..This Chelsea isnt the one I knew..This Chelsea doesnt feel bad or insulted on losing/drawing games..and thats precisely the reason why we're struggling..I've also heard people saying how can a World Champion be a bad coach..ok now look at the World Cup how many matches does a team play??6-7..so there Scolari's approach of only One Playing Style with no Plan B worked..because before the teams figured it out the Cup was already won..thats why in the beginning of the premier league too we were looking invincible..but now every team in the BPL knows the way Chelsea plays and knows the way to contain them..I am not against giving managers time but the right manager needs to be found first and Scolari isnt the right one..
Now Hiddink..well..I think he should be better..Firstly because he has experience with club football rather than just international football..this should help..He was extremely succesful with PSV in the Dutch League..But what i really want from him is to create Unity in the team and get that Winning Mentality back..With that back I feel we could still be on track for atleast the UCL and the FA cup..The Bpl..well theres a gap of 10 points(effectively) which is HUGE considering the number of games left..but I still we could finish second..But one thing which i dont really like about his appointment is that he's going to manage both Chelsea andRussia..He says he can handle it..lets hope he's right..Anyways i'd still have taken him in place of Grant because last time Grant inherited Mourinho's team this time its going to be Scolari's so we need a *proper* manager..
P.S-We Also Have Ricardo Quaresma...I think he's perfect While Joey is out..
