I can see Ibra joining Arsenal. And I would totally understand him if he prefers joining them.

We HAVE to win this game. It's a must. We can't "settle for a draw" against no one. We're 3 points above relegation zone, for Christ's sake. Go all out attack, we MUST win. We won't bounce back by only beating the teams that are bellow us in the table, because... there aren't too many of them We have to win against the bigger fishes. Just like we should've beaten Watford and should've tried more against United. Don't get used to being shit. We are still champions. We do not settle for draws against no team in this league.

Remember how badly Mourinho wanted to sign this guy? Would've been another glorious flop.

I was one of those who agreed that it's better for everyone if he leaves, but looking back now, I have to say that I was wrong. And it's a little unfair, when you think about it. Chelsea chose Courtois over Cech because "he's the future". Yet, Lukaku didn't stand a chance even if it was quite obvious that he was "the future" more than Costa. But that was then, it seemed like a decent choice and I guess it's too late now to fix this. I wish him best of luck anyways.

You know that's not going to happen. It should've happened back in 2009, or 2011, or 2013. But it didn't. I respect Roman for everything that he did for this club, but his vision regarding football is still flawed. He will always seize the short term success and people around him know that. Feed him with trophies and he'll be happy. And we're probably gonna bounce back rather sooner than later. We will win another trophy and we'll keep fooling ourselves that everything's gonna be fine. But at a certain point, Roman will get bored. And if he gets bored and decides to give up on his favourite toy, we will not have a future as a club. We lack an ideology, we lack competent people on board. That's the sad truth and I can't see things changing for the better.

I cannot believe the number of people here calling JT "shit" and things like that. He's not playing as good as he used to, but show some respect, for Christ's sake. It's our captain, our legend you're talking about. How dare you call him "shit"?

I think people should get used to the thought that Ivanovic will start for the rest of the season unless he picks an injury or suspension.

OK, so they didn't lose. Which makes this season look even more pathetic. I just don't understand how something like this is possible. The quality of City's players, looking at them individualy, is unbelievable, they should be pissing all over the league, but they are absolutely incapable of showing any consistency. as a team. When you have Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sterling, Aguero... Maybe Pellegrini really is an impotent manager. And maybe this really is Arsenal's season. Let alone this, if I were to choose a Leicester player that Chelsea should sign, that would definitely be Kante. Beautiful player.

They won't finish top 4, even if I'd like them to. They will lose against City tonight. Two consecutive defeats and that's it. Adios. And I pray to God that we won't be that stupid to sign Vardy. He's a one-hit wonder.

Yeah, let's sign him. And then loan him out. And then loan him again. And then sell him for 6m pounds or something.

Agreed. I wouldn't condemn him either. I simply do not care at all, to be honest. I am more worried for Chelsea than for Mourinho or United.

I beg to differ. He comitted to us not because of loyalty, but because he knew that the fans love him and will always stand by him no matter what. Not to mention the pay check. It's not like he was managing us pro bono. His sallary was huge. Loyalty doesn't exist anymore. Not in football.

I was more confident right after the draw than I am now. I think they will smash us if we don't get our defending strenght back on track. Anyway, I really can't see us getting through as things are right now. Yes, there is still a lot of time left to improve, but the signs are not good. Maybe with a few signings, a few great signings, we would stand a chance.

I absolutely love this guy. In this generation full of spoiled little kids, he's something different. No fancy haircuts, no shiny tattoos, just a serious guy playing football with ambition and hunger of success! Probably my favourite player at the moment.

PLEASE, just give him a chance!

Agreed. I felt a lot of frustration after that exact missed shot. I don't understand why players are so selfish sometimes. He knows that he is not a good finisher, he had Hazard (If I recall) free on his right, and instead of giving him a sitter, Matic shot million miles away. Probably the lack of confidence is so big that they lost common sense and team spirit and they are just trying to prove themselves by useless dribbles and selfish shots.

Fucking shit. Thse guys play like they hate each other. Why the hell would you defend a 0-0? I mean, if you were 1st by 7 points, ok, but we are close to the relegation zone. We can't afford defending against no one. Pathetic display.

Maybe because MIkel played really decent lately.

Judge the line-up AFTER the game. If we trash them, someone will look like a clown. And it's not going to be Guus.

Bruh, don't we need new signings...

Why do people want to get rid of JT? I mean, ok, he's past his prime, obviously. But he's a legend, for Christ's sake. He really is one of us. He's our own Maldini, Del Piero, Puyol or Scholes. Not Lampard, not Drogba, not Mourinho. John Terry. HE is our symbol. I think letting JT go would be the stupidest thing to do. We need him to retire from us. He's been with Chelsea through good and bad, he is Chelsea. Of course he might get less playing time, as it's normal, considering he's aging. But he is still the most important figure in the squad.

Thanks, man! I appreciate you! See, I think that bringing more great players is not enough. Getting rid of they would actually be essential for us to go ahead and fight for more success. Notice how I say more. And why shouldn't we try to make Stamford the...LION a little happier? On a serious note, I really think that we should go for Teixeira (he's probably already ours) and Lavezzi (convince him to join us from summer on). Then, we need a decent LB (Coentrao might be pretty cheap) and a good (D)CM. What bothers me is that while big teams like us, United, Liverpool are struggling, a lot of small ones are taking advantage and climbing the league table. That's what makes their players very expensive. It's really difficult to go for someone from Watford, Stoke, Palace or Leicester. I would try finding something in Portugal. Aaaand, of course, try bringing Gundogan, a central defender and Chicharito. Here's my list: Coentrao CB CDM Gundogan Teixeira Lavezzi Chicharito

Cloth talk alert!

I think it's a matter of expectations.
