Luiz for 35m, Shaw for 25m. Money left over of this sale+ Mata cash leftover to sign a top class striker, Costa for 32m, Cavani for 50m or Rooney for 25m maybe. Team next season could be: Courtois/Cech Ivan/Dave Cahill/Zouma Terry Shaw Ramires Matic Willian Oscar Hazard Costa/Cavani Sub: Cech as Courtois will not be here for that, he would be sold if that is the case Ivan/Dave Mikel if he is still here Lampard Schurrle Lukaku/Torres Salah With Cole out, maybe Mikel out as well. Of course all 3 strikers are gone too, maybe not Torres because no one want him.

Also it is about time we cause a big upset in a game where we are the underdog. The last time this happens was against Bayern in 2012. Since then we pretty much drew or lost all the games we were expected to draw/lose. Time to send a big statement out there that we won't give us despite the latest result setback. A 4-1 win like Liverpool did MU a few years ago would be great, but we probably will try the Old Trafford/Basel away approach in this game, probably even more extreme level. Don't be surprised if we end the match with no shot on target imo.

Would be funny if Lampard starts and Matic benched.

Really could see the interview after Monday and we draw City in a dour 0-0 game. Reporter: Last week, you said West Ham played 19th century football, what about Chelsea today? Mou: Today was a great result, we didn't concede any goals, not many teams are able to do that this season. Also we are the 1st team to take points off them at home, so I am very happy with my players. They are a very good team, so getting a point here is a great result. Reporter: What about your approach? Mou: We didn't play negative football, we play amazing defensive football Because he is Mourinho and he is the boss

Is this guy going to be Varane or Koscielny? Boom at young age or decent at old age but never reach his true potential? Only time well tell

You are talking about THE best team in the world and compare them to us, a good young team still in development? As for this game, anything other than a 0-0 draw is a bonus imo. Jose will go full ultra defensive in this 1, almost like that Barca-Inter game 4 years ago. But if they score an early goal our whole plan might be fucked. This is the team I think he would put out on Mon: Cech Ivan Cahill Terry Dave Ramires Matic Mikel Wilian Eto'o Hazard Set up to defend obviously, but if we go 1-2 down by half time Lampard/Oscar will come on for Mikel or Matic

They do but Suarez will just destroy them anyway like he did earlier this season against them. And Arsenal some how manage to fuck their way around to winning regularly.

City difficult games left: Us at home Arsenal away MU away- not really hard Everton away Liverpool away I can see them dropping 2 points against us if we are lucky, but then again we will be dropping 2 ourselves so nothing to brag about. The rest I actually think they could win all, maybe apart from Liverpool. Overall our chances are as good as over imo.

Mikel instead of Lampard/Matic despite knowing their team got no intention of ever trying to cross the half way line. Should of played Luiz/Lampard instead of Mikel. And games like today show why we need a top class striker like Costa/Rooney.

Lose on Monday and we are 6 behind, still hard or impossible to overturn?

Is over. Terrible, terrible stuff.

Another game today that I believe expose some of Jose's hole in his method. People say we will make progress but so far we really haven't in term of changing the style to a total attacking one. The style that City just used to destroy Spurs 5-1.

Since we can't even do this against West Ham, if City score 1st next week what does that mean for us? A drubbing?

If we draw this, might as well concentrate on consolidating that 3rd spot. Title is over for good unless we go to City and win next week, which will be nearly impossible.

That is crazy, seeing he did well against Stoke but that was because Stoke was utter shit. Can't believe Mikel is starting over him.

Arse's 1st goal came from his side though

If that injury means he is out for a long time then we can safely say his Chelsea career is over for good.

Anything less than a 3-0 win tomorrow and our chance of winning the title is over especially with City next. 4 points is sort of a must for the next 2 games to keep momentum going.

Good game but no where near worth 30m, these are the sort of money being spent on Kompany, Thiago Silva, Ramos.

Did OK tonight, no cutting pass that slide the defence open or anything but good safe passes, tried a few long one, usually mishit. Overall OK, but he will probably get better as he fits into their system more in the coming matches

There is more chance of Messi scoring against us than Torres being sold.

True but Stoke was so horrible it was not even funny. Lets see if he is started against West Ham, if he did and perform really well there might be a chance for him against City, if not it would be back to the bench for Cahill-Terry

This guy won't leave Chelsea for a really long time, if he does it will be after Mourinho is sacked/gone and the new manager don't fancy him. Even then his fee would probably be around 50m min. Beast of a player, can't believe not 1 single big European team looked into him. Starting CAM for Brazil at 22 say it all and this is a nation with a lot of talented young players.

Piazon/Moses/Marin/Salah/Schurrle/Atsu Only 2 of them will make it here in the long term under Jose, I think it will probably be Schurrle and Salah. The rest will eventually be sold permanently

What I can see: City 0-0 Chelsea in the league City 1-1 Chelsea in the cup, replay Chelsea 1-0 City
