Why Mourinho's Patience In Current Strikers Could Cost Them The Title - Opinion

Despite the Chelsea frontline currently looking about as effective as a £10 fine to Roman Abramovich, Jose Mourinho has told the Telegraph that he won't be making any moves in the January transfer window - a move that I believe could cost them the title.

Could This Man Be Chelsea's Short-Term Solution To Misfiring Strikers?

This season has been a mixed bag for Chelsea. Under Jose Mourinho they sit in third place in the Premier League table, four points behind leaders Arsenal, but have struggled at points on the road - including yesterday when they lost away at Stoke. The main gripe, for me though, is their strikers not firing.

Chelsea: Play Cole, Drill Crosses And Remain Patient To Beat Stoke

Chelsea travel to Stoke tomorrow afternoon in what is renowned as an incredibly tough place to go. Jose Mourinho's men have struggled at points on the road this season and will be in no mood to do so again when they get to the Britannia, so here are three things that the Special One should do in order to enhance the Blues' chances of victory.

Why Chelsea Should Drop Azpilicueta For Cole On Saturday Against Stoke

Ashley Cole has had a tough few weeks. Well, if you consider sitting on the sideline earning mega money for doing nothing tough, anyway. As a result of injury he lost his place for both club and country and has failed to wriggle himself back into either, despite now being available for selection. The left-back has seen his Chelsea place taken by Cesar Azpilicueta in recent weeks but this weekend that needs to change, in my opinion.

Mata At The Heart Of A Good Week For Chelsea

After conceding a rather embarrassing goal a mere 14 seconds into last Sunday's match against Southampton, Chelsea actually rallied themselves to quite a thrilling 3-1 victory over the saints. Once again, after quite a rocky start, when it seemed all but lost, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge will live to see another day.

Why Wenger Is The Reason For Arsenal's Success This Season

I’m sure most people, with the exception of Arsenal fans of course, are a little sceptical about the fact that the gunners have had such a comfortable lead in the Premier League table for so long now. When is it going to end? Or are they actually going to win the Premier League title this year?

Chelsea: Use Mikel, Add Some Pace And Let Ba Go Up Against Former Enemy To Beat Sunderland

After eight games without a win to start the season, new manager Gus Poyet has injected some hope back into the Sunderland fans with two wins and a draw in their last five. Now, Poyet invites his former club Chelsea to the Stadium of Light, and it will be no easy game for Jose Mourinho's side. Here is what I'd do if I was the Special One.

Why Chelsea Playmaker Could Be The Perfect Addition To Manchester United

The Manchester United squad, on the whole, is a very impressive one. They have two of the best strikers in the Premier League and possess a wealth of options at the back, all while a Spain international operates in goal. But there is one area of the pitch that they are notably weak in, and that's the midfield. For me, there is one man who fits the role that United are supposedly looking for, and that man is currently plying his trade with Chelsea.

Ivanovic Claims Ba Is Key To Chelsea Success - Here's Why I Disagree

We are often subjected to professional footballers who big up their team-mates and big up their performances whether they deserve the plaudits or not, so when Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic claimed that Demba Ba can have a big effect on the Blues's season, I took it with a pinch of salt. Then, I thought I would ignore the fact that he's scored just once in the Premier League season and have a wider look at his performances to see if Ivanovic had a point.

Why Chelsea Should Cash In On Defender With Bayern Munich Interested

David Luiz is renowned as a kooky character, but some argue that it's his personality that is his downfall on the pitch. He is a laid-back player who allows players to run at him as he believes he has the necessary pace, positional sense and intelligence to beat them at their game. It's not often that that he actually does get the better of his opponents, though, and with reports from the Metro suggesting that Bayern Munich are likely to come in with an offer for the Brazil international, I suggest that Jose Mourinho cashes in.

8 Players Who Norwich Should Be Looking To Sign To Help Them Climb The Table

Often I see teams that are struggling and I think that they're not far off being a good team, they just need a couple of players to complete the jigsaw. Norwich currently occupy 14th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone, but it's their defensive record and lack of firepower in front of goal which is becoming a real concern. They have the second worst defensive record in the league and only two teams have scored less goals than them. My list heavily features defenders and attackers but the midfield did receive some attention, which goes without saying.

6 Centre-Backs Who Manchester City Should Be Looking At To Shore Up Their Defence

Although Manchester City aren't necessarily struggling at the back this season, you can't help but feel they'd be even stronger if they had another world class centre-back to stand in when Vincent Kompany isn't available and to partner him when he returns. City do have Martin Demichelis, Matija Nastasic and Joleon Lescott, but the latter is expected to leave in January.

3 Creative Midfielders Who Tottenham Should Be Looking To Recruit In January

In my previous article I suggested 3 strikers that Tottenham could buy in January to help give them the firepower they need in front of goal. However, it's all very well and good buying a striker but if they don't have a supporting cast good enough to give him a consistent supply of chances, then what's the point?
