Linked with Manshitty now, for £200k/wk (Bild), buy out clause £20M.

Jose Mourinho believes Ramires being available again is a huge boost for Chelsea. “It’s very important for us,” said the Blues boss. “Tactically he is good, he can play in many positions and has intensity. “He is a guy who is dangerous when attacking, good in defensive transition and has a fantastic engine to drop back and to press. “He’s an important player for us, and a balance between technical players and players like Ramires I think is fundamental to our squad.” http://www.westlondonsport.com/chelsea/mourinho-explains-why-ramires-return-is-so-important-for-chelsea-wls-football

Cech Iva Zouma JT Azpi Cesc Matic Schurrle Willian Eden Costa Rest: Oscar, Gary, Luis who played 3 games in 6 days. Cech did well in the home game, so should start this one too.

Didn't see your profile, Willian is also one of my fav players. KDB actually works really hard, I've seen all the Belgium matches during the WC. But from the moment Mourinho decided to use Oscar as his #10, Mata and KDB were played out of position as wingers and they aren't the type of wingers Mourinho likes. He loves wingers who are pacy and hard working, that's what I meant.

Can't see Madrid losing the title race anymore this year, they already had their dip at the beginning of the season, Barca just messed up.

Yeah but Willian was a great buy IMO, not worth his price tag (yet) bus was very important and consistent last season. This season Willian isn't at his best yet, he must improve in attack! For KDB, I'm also dissapointed he left because he showed great potential in his loan spell in Germany. Mourinho loves hard working, pacy attacking players. That's why he bought Schurrle, Willian and Salah, and let KDB and Mata go.

You're wrong, he first sold KDB at the start of the window and then got Matic. At the end of the window Mata suddenly wanted to leave, which left us only with Oscar, Hazard, Willian and Schurrle for 3 positions. That's why he bought Salah, to replace a (left footed) attacking mid with another one.

That's what you get for not shaking Mou's hand. Lol

Nope, Ramires is just back from an injury, don't think he will start. Think Mou will go with the standard line up and in the current form it's indeed hard to drop Oscar, I agree. Let's see if they can perform in this semi big game, as this Liverpool isn't as tough as last year.

And they also played together against ManU, in big games there is only place for one of them, Ramires is a must.

He hardly dropped Ramires. Rami was suspended in the first game and after that, he started against Everton and City. And before the Arsenal game, he got injured for about 5-6 weeks until Shrewsbury.

Lucky City, f*ck Pelligrini

Yeah, he said ''possibly'' Willian for his workrate. Willian really must improve in attack to join that list.

CITY:Hart/Zabaletta Kompany Demichelis Kolarov/Milner Fernando/Navas Yaya Jovetic/Aguero SUBS: Caballero, Clichy, Sagna, Fernandinho, Boyata, Dzeko, Nasri. UNITED:De Gea/Valencia Smalling Rojo Shaw/Blind/Januzaj Fellaini Rooney Di Maria/RvP SUBS:Lindegaard, McNair, Carrick, Fletcher, Herrera, Mata, Wilson

In his first spell Mourinho named 9 players who were his ''untouchables'': Claude Makelele, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba and Petr Cech. "Makelele is untouchable because of the way he plays. Essien is untouchable because of the way he plays. Frank Lampard is untouchable because of the way he plays. "It is not because I love them. It is because of the way they play. Michael Ballack is untouchable because of the way he plays. John Terry is untouchable, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Drogba, they are untouchable. "The right-back is not untouchable. That is why I try this and that. But, at this moment, we have nine untouchable players. Players pick the team, not me." interview of 2006: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/2397432/jose-sheva-not-untouchable At the end of last season (2013-14) he was asked to name his new untouchables, at that time he named: Azpi, Iva, Gary, JT, Ramires, Matic and Willian. “Partially” is the critical word. “It was not possible to complete that puzzle for different factors,” Mourinho said. “If next season we have a No 9 who we decide is first-choice, plus the stability that Matic and Ramires can give, hopefully we will have more stability.”So there you have it. The new ‘untouchables’ are evolving: Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Matic and Ramires and, possibly, Willian whose attitude to hard work had, Mourinho said, been transformed. interview of 2014: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10806112/Chelsea-manager-looking-for-a-new-team-of-untouchables-to-match-Stamford-Bridges-class-of-2006.html But with the addition of Courtois, Luis, Costa, Fabregas and the development of Hazard and Oscar I think there will be some changes in his mind. Mine are: Azpi, Iva, JT, Matic, Cesc, Hazard, Diego Costa and Courtois if Cech really leaves. Who are your new untouchables? Or is it too early to talk about it, like the comparison with ''the new invincibles''?

Yeah it was also really awkward to hear the QPR fans so clearly whenever Terry had the ball.

Yeps, Goetze said that Reus is a fan of ManUnited... Di Maria Falcao Reus with Rooney behind them isn't a bad attacking force.

Reus is good, I agree but I don't think Willian is as bad as you've mentioned. Willian should improve his finishing but he always creates chances for others. Yesterday he timed his pass to Ivanovic very well, it should've been an assist. If I have to choose which player to sell, then it would be Salah since he doesn't get chances.

How would Eden call him? Mcchicken ?

It was a equalizer, not a win.
