Adjusting time or not, if that was someone else, high class player or not Jose would have benched him. Do you doubt Robben's ability? Does he deserve to be shown the bench because of a bad 30 minutes against Man U? Especially when he was coming on as a sub!

Just because it's happens to be that Sheva has good relationship with Abromovic it's convenient to use that every time against him. If you think that somebody can say to Jose what to do then you are wrong.

Nobody saying him what to do. He is not some wimp coach.

If you let Robben play instead of Sheva you need to take out one of the 4 untouchable miedfilders and bring in SWP or JC cuz Robben do not play well in other formation. The game vs Barca is a good example.

I don't understand why the hell people keep comparing the 2 situations. Henry went to Arsenal as a failed MEDFIELDER from Juve. Sheva went to Chelsea as an established WORLD CLASS striker, with experiance, in probably the most defensive league there is. Two COMPLETELY different situations!!!

NOPE!
Jose does everything regarding football.
a l a"I do the football, you do the business!"
and quote: "I know nothing about business, and Roman does know nothing about football"

Maybe Sheva's Roman's darling, but that doesn't mean that jose plays him just to please roman. As we know, roman knew nothing about FB, years back.

Nobody saying him what to do. He is not some wimp coach.

If you let Robben play instead of Sheva you need to take out one of the 4 untouchable miedfilders and bring in SWP or JC cuz Robben do not play well in other formation. The game vs Barca is a good example.

Wenger compered between them and it's more difucult when you are 30. You want other examples:  Bergkamp, Cantona.......

You believe what you want to believe. But I know for a FACT that Jose Mourinho wouldn't jeopradise a reault for ANYONE, no matter who he is or his reputation. And it's clear that when Sheva plays Chelsea seem like they are a man down.

Porto back me up on this, would you see Jose doing this just so someone could ADJUST!!!??
Not neccissarily! Jose is tactically gifted enough to make an adjustment. For god's sakes the man even managed to change a game around by putting in Micheal Essien as a RB!!! I'm sure he knows how to fit in Robben or another winger with the 'untouchables'.

And he might not be a whimp but I'm sure he likes his job!!!

I really can't see how it is more difficuilt when you're 30, have more experiance and are considered to be a world class player!!

Bergkamp and Cantona moved to the premiership when they where young unestablished players.

The only thing that should work against Sheva is the pace, but other then that he should be able to make up for that with his skill.

It's just not working out for him over there. And I think it has more to do with the way Chelsea play rather then the fact that it's a different league

He will be fired if he wouldn't put Sheva in starting 11? Yeah Right!

He gave some good games( not many) and even Wenger said that he makes Drogba better. The only way to adjust is to play. The miedfielders needs to know where you like to have the ball and how you make your movement. He needs to have chemistry with other players and it's very hard to do it from the bench

Why wouldn't he be fired? I'm pretty sure Abramovic wouldn' have any problems finding somone else.

When you played 7 years in other league it's takes more time. When you young and haven't learned much it's more easy.

Bergkamp were established player.

because Roman knows one thing: Jose is the best thing now which happened to chelsea, and because Roman respects Jose.
The agreement, to let him decide everything about football, is not given a complete fool

why does silvio insist on playing 2 strikers 

Why wouldn't he be fired? I'm pretty sure Abramovic wouldn' have any problems finding somone else.

And pls! Making Drogba better?? Pfff!! I'm pretty sure they didn't pay 30 mil pounds for him to make Drogba better 

And it's ok to play a player for him to adjust but it's different when it's clear that he isn't really helping you out in winning the match but even being a hindrance to your game. If the game was against Watford or some other lowly team then there wouldn't be any problem with it but not in an important match where it could cost you points which leave you trailing behind the leader!!!

If you don't believe that Abramovic puts pressure on him to play Sheva, then fine that's your oppinion. But it's pretty clear what's happening

He played 7 years in Serie A not the Ukrainian league 

Would you expect the top marksmen in the CL and MILAN'S Second best scorer in their history to be playing the way he is now? He only had something like 3 good games!!

Again the only thing that should work against him is the pace of the league, but he is able to make up for that with his skill, creativity and smarts. It's just not happening for him at Chelsea.

And btw, what chemistry is he supposed to establish with the midfielders when they barely pass him the god damn ball 

When you played 7 years in other league it's takes more time. When you young and haven't learned much it's more easy.

Bergkamp were established player.

And Jose wouldn't have any problem to find a new team too but it doesn't work like that. He knows that he has the bast coach in the world who woldn't take sh!t from anybody and sure not ultimatums about placing a player in the start 11. 

They didn't. Other things will come too.

How he is a hindrance when he make the striker that plays near him having the best season of his career.

It's pretty clear for me too

He had the worst of years at Inter... 

And we know how Italian league is so similar to English When you older the change comes more hard and it's not only in football.

When they will learn his moves they will pass him more. It's not his fault that he isn't getting enough balls

He was world class player but in the wrong team

The thing is...  I watched some games at the beginning of the season and I watched the derby today...  Shevchenko did not lool like he's made any noticable improvement!

Jose has everything he wants at Chelsea, no manager of any toher team has what he has, unlimited spending funds, and probably one of the best slaries a manager is getting in world football at the moment. Why would he compromise this over something like which striker to pick???

Exactly, they didn't so I can't see why this should come into consideration as why he should be on the starting 11.

He is a hindrance because he goes missing for 3/4 of the match    If he was a box strinker that pops up in a game to score a couple of goals and then disappeares again then there wouldn't be any problem, but he isn't scoring and neither is he doing much of anything else either. He lost the ball today more then he helped out in the attack. And saying that Drogba is scoring the way he is, is because of Sheva is an insult!! Drogba might be scoring because he wanted to show what he could do but not because he has Sheva next to him. Sheva was just his motivation to do well and not fall in the shadows.

Well then you're 1:100 for people who think like you.

As I said he should be able to adapt because he is good enough. Just because he played in a different league shouldn't be that much of an excuse for him. He's a world class strike. And everyone expected him to take the premiership by storm but he didn't.

Arguably, it would be more of a surprise if Shevchenko didn't struggle initially. Most of the greatest foreign players have: Dennis Bergkamp did not score until his eighth game for Arsenal, Thierry Henry until his ninth, during which time both were ridiculed by the tabloids, while Eric Cantona was a bit-part player at Leeds for almost a year before moving across the Pennines to find his natural stage. Indeed, the irony of Shevchenko's woes being exacerbated by the blistering form of Didier Drogba, who for two seasons was apparently not cut out for the Premiership, will not be lost on Jose Mourinho. If the good will out, the great - and Shevchenko is certainly that - should have nothing to worry about.

He just needs time. Generally the chief strugglers have been the attackers. More universal footballers such as Claude Makelele, Gabriel Heinze, Sami Hyypia and Peter Schmeichel have found that their job descriptions have changed very little upon arrival in England. Attackers are different, and yet the perception remains that it is defences which need time to gel; that the back four is the great unrotatable of football. In reality it's the opposite: destruction is intrinsically easier than creation, and attacking players need just as much time as defenders to establish rhythms, connection, understanding.

So he need to to take sh!t just cuz he has good condition. There are enough rich teams that would offer him even bigger salary

Last two seasons Drogba was playing bad just because he wasn't motivated? The fact is that the team is doing good and figting for all the titles

And that statistics from? Did you make a survey? I know many ppl that agree with me

Drogba's playing better, because Sheva creates space for him, and everybody concetrates on Sheva. That's the reason why.

Different league is good enough excuse for every striker

so first I was sh!t and couldn't do anything but dive and now that I have found my form I'm only good because of the guy playing next to me.

Hey man don't be so hard on yourself... you're still great at diving!! 

Which club exactly? The only club that I can think of that can give him the Chelsea conditions is Real Madrid and they have Cappello. And I still don't think he would have it as good as he does at Chelsea.

It's not because he wasn't motivated, it's because he didn't want to be shadowed by Sheva, everyone was expecting this to happen but instead the opposite happened. Drogba was an amazing player when he was playing at Marseille, he was adjusting also (just like Sheva is now) I can't see how Sheva made him the player he is now. That's just ridiculous imo. Even if it is Wenger who said this. And if I was Drogba I would be pissed off by this, so first I was sh!t and couldn't do anything but dive and now that I have found my form I'm only good because of the guy playing next to me.

It's just what the general public thinks, and most of them think the way I do, wether it's on football forums other then this one, Tv pundits, people at school or people where I work. Most of them think this way. Most of the people who think like you are the Sheva fans (I'm not saying that you are just for the player and not the club, because I know you aren't, but most people are)

And if I was Drogba I would be pissed off by this, so first I was sh!t and couldn't do anything but dive and now that I have found my form I'm only good because of the guy playing next to me.

Inter wanted to offer him better salary. Good conditions (maybe not as good as at Chealsea) you can find at big clubs like Madrid , Barca , Milan,  Inter...

It's not just Wenger saying that. Almost everybody saying that: all the Comentatrs, football analysts... Because of Sheva movement there are space available for Drogba. Before it was easy for defence to concentrates on Drogba.

Just to be clear I support Milan from 93 much before I heard about Sheva. Many ppl that I know think like me(not Sheva fans) but the only way to be sure is what? take them to the polygraph

Now tell me, in all honesty. Have you seen ANY sort of improvment in Sheva's game from the beginning of the season to now??? I think he's taking steps backwards. In some games he showed signs in others he just diappears, and he's don't the latter MUCH MUCH more

why? drogba admitted this in a interview.
Didier Drogba says his success this season is down to the arrival at Chelsea of new strike-partner Andriy Shevchenko.
"Andriy is the key to my success," he told the News of the World.

"Without him defenders search for me all over the field, but with him in the side I have more freedom.

"I am not the coach but I would not leave him out."

Mourinho just said that he wants to stay in the Premiership for now. So....

Maybe Sheva's movemnt is helping him out with the space thing, but look at soe of his goals this season. Some amazing goals that he created all by himself or from distance. I'm not saying all the goals he scored where like that but saying that what he has done is because of Sheva is not right.

He had some improvement but after his minor injury that put him out for 3-4 games he started to play bad again. He had a very good game in CL but today he wasn't good

He also said that he want to try other leagues...He is talking a lot.

Of course not all his goals but many of them. It's not only me saying this.

Against Levski he was good, but nothing special it was a good goal that he scored, but he disappeares in a game a lot something that he usually doesn't do.

Today I thought he was terrible. He lost the ball something like 10 times because of a bad pass. It's just not the same Sheva and adapting isn't the problem, he shoudl still be able to make a simple pass.

And I admit I'm watching Chelsea games every week because of him (because there is no way in hell that I would treat myslef to that every week for any other reason) because I still have that soft spot reserved for him. But it just makes me sad to see him play like he is. When I know what he is capable of doing

@mchanna: Maybe you expected Drogba to come out with the following!?

"Andriy is the worst player ever," he told the News of the World.

"Without him I could speak Italian, but with him in the side I have to only speek English and I have less freedom.

"I am not the coach but I would definitely leave him out."

...

Guys please stop this... you're recycling the same thoughts of you all over again without leading the issue to some point... If you stopped and read what eachother writes you would have quitted this 3 pages ago... unless your'e just enjoying yourselves!!

"Okay, I love, nay adore dst. Now it's out" Drogba told News of the World.
With tears in his eyes he told us: "He is the best men I ever met, and I want to marry him" However he was angry, that News of the World caught him at buying a ring from  London's nobelshop Tiffany's:"Now the surprise is out."
"I'm not his mother, but I would be proud to have a son like dst."

I think he also said something about "I met with Kaka and his girlfriend mchanna" some time ago... I could tell by the sparkle in his eyes that he's in love with her" ...
