The strange resurrection of Moses

The chants of “you’re not special anymore” which some Chelsea supporters used to greet Mourinho were a little surprising, perhaps, but the choruses for Victor Moses raised more eyebrows.

An elder statesman of the west London’s ‘out on loan’ contingent, to say the Nigeria international was a ‘forgotten man’ upon Conte’s arrival this summer is an understatement. Yet here, on his 100th Premier League start, Moses looked as much of fixture in this team as its star men.

Earlier this week, he told of how Mourinho had barely spoke to him during his second tenure here. “I thought in my head, 'He's got his own players already,” he recalled.

Conte, on the other hand, has arrived at Stamford Bridge with very few pre-conceptions about his squad. He and Moses are reaping the benefits.

Actually, it was Willian keeping Moses out of the Chelsea team. Let us see what happens when he returns.

Very lazy comments from Ayo and Purity.

Hmm if you think whatever you do the coach already has his guy, you might not try as hard anymore. Could have been his train of thought, but when I saw him in preseason games he was balling hard.

The fool has been playing certain players not because of form,but because they are his pet boys ewu! This for me was the turning point the moment i realised something had gone loose in Jose's head and all the psychiatric doctors in the world cannot put it back together.

If Jose was still at Chelsea he would still be playing Ova and Cesc while hoping they would turn to Cinderella one day..but check out Conte he has soon dumped them. That was the Jose i used to know not this clown pretending to be Jose!

Oloye:

I can't speak about other Jose-coached teams, BUT he had a FANTASTIC squad the first time with Chelsea (or a collection of a few exceptional players). Players like Drogba, Essien, Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Cech, at their peaks, hardly had "off" days. Plus the team had the "support" of the public and press to finally disrupt the Fergie-Wenger hegemony. And the press 'loved' Jose. He could have thrown in fairies like Oscar and Pedro, back then, and Chelsea would still hammer everyone.
