Lampardo is on.

WOW! unlucky for Tomlin! amazing move.

goal for Bamford. deflection.

yellow card for Kompany.

yeah, and my performances with Real Sociedad last year inspired the hiring of David Moyes

'borough might have a chance in this match, but IDK if Bamford and Jelle Vossen are capable of upsetting the City defence.

P Bamford starting at City of Manchester Stadium

you made yourself laugh. I suppose having one new player, Salah, and Atsu at the same time would be too much anyway so Atsu will go on loan elsewhere rather than stay at Everton. other than the fact that Schuerrle can score when he shoots, I don't see him being anything close to what Chelsea need for a winger. No, I don't rate Atsu either.

so, it's Jason Puncheon for you then? Chelsea need a catalyst on the RW because we don't have a single catalyst at winger aside from one Hazard. I'm selling Schuerrle, getting Atsu back and buying one player. Cuadrado is about as good as it gets in the market right now without Reus --although Yarmolenko still interests me (but I've not seen playing for a while).

Looks good and I'm happy to see more players from the former Yugoslav republics http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2015/1/18/7746663/chelsea-agree-fee-serbian-midfielder-danilo-pantic

Good pressing, good result, but I am with Jose on this team's need for this season: momentum created by cutting, confident counter-attacks and scoring/chances created by more than just Costa-Hazard-Fabregas. Willian hit the woodwork and had some nice passes, but Willian and Oscar need to be better with counterattacking in the next 9 weeks. Jose will keep urging this team to do more not just because he's a demanding manager, but because Chelsea's attack is not as well-rounded and incisive as he nor myself would like it to be. At this moment, I still feel that winning the league depends more upon ManCity injuries or slip-ups than Chelsea's collective ability and confidence on the attack. The coming weeks will decide. Keep pushing.

So adidas just pay some money to Barca and Chelsea don't incur nearly so much cost? None of us could know what happens/what is possible.

Did you SEE the pass from Griezmann's angle (the left wing)? The challenging part for Torres was the left-footed shot.

that goal was all about the needle-threading pass from Griezmann. IF Torres missed it, he would have looked a complete idiot. superb passes by Mario Suarez and Griezmann made that goal happen.

Might as well just use our youth players slowly and buy Moussa Sissoko NOW, while selling Mikel. I think if we had Sissoko and Sanchez in the squad in the summer window, Chelsea would be absolutely running away with the title, probably setting a points record or goals record, or going undefeated for the season. One RW, one star CM, and maybe one fullback away from a perfect squad.

We will see how much momentum this Chelsea squad can create for itself in the coming ~10 weeks.

What an enjoyable comedian... and the show, 8 out of 10 Cats.

If Messi comes, does Mikel leave immediately? should be a condition of Messi's contract and transfer negotiation. Would be nice to get a RW in the window. John Stones in the summer?

Mario Pasalic to Elche is probably a good loan. I would like to see more of Ake and RLC, especially given that I'm not a fan of Jobi. Why not NOW, Jose? Guess there's too much pressure to win silverware at Chelsea.

Jenna Louise-Coleman for me if it must be a Brit. Better yet: Chelsea's own doctor, Eva.

It was sad 4, no, 5(?) years ago. Sad that a Chelsea fan must keep discussing a shitty player.

why are CFC wasting any more time on Jon Obi Mikel?

how about swapping Schuerrle for Mane in this window?

Valencia have a good chance to beat Real, but a very harsh penalty given for a handball that just grazed a Valencia player's hand in his own box. 0-1 Real Madrid

we can't watch the match, but at the same time I'm not sure I want to see Mikel instead of Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the pitch.
