I miss Carvalho, proper defender. None of this Ivanovic/Cahill nonsense.

What a guy.

Pedro sounds better.

Seeing him wear Drogba's 11 makes me want to both cry and laugh at the same time.

Willian is such a waste.

This guy is going to fit our team like a glove, exactly the type of player we needed. I'm already more optimistic for the West Brom game.

Good piece of business.

We'll win, they're no City.

That's because for specialists in failure like Wenger, defeat is just another day at the office, its part of his routine. In that regard the reactions/overreactions after a negative result for Mourinho are hardly surprising. "Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country."

Is this thread for real? Time to abandon forum.

Please get rid.

Our best outfield player by a country mile. One wonders what he could achieve at a team that plays good football like City if he won Player of the Season with this team. Goes to show how good he really is.

Well I don't know what is happening but my patience is slowly wearing thin. As for the overreacting complaints, I agree wholeheartedly.

City can still surprise you offensively and are much more flexible as a team, and this is a huge difference. We've been found out not only in terms of not investing but tactically as well.

Much better in the second half but boy was that first half shocking. The bad transfer window is truly worrying, Mourinho's tactics lately have been even more worrying... and I'm one of his biggest supporters. I think we've been found out for good, you just can't expect a team to struggle even if we park the bus anymore. Basically, when you're playing ultra defensive and you're still predictable, you have the perfect recipe for disaster. The fact that we had zero shots on target until like the 70th minute is actually quite an impressive feat. I just can't see this team progressing like this.

Uh, pretty sure this Madrid you're mentioning didn't win sh*t last year, and in the past two years Bayern has been humiliated in ways I hope my favorite team never does. I'd much rather see my team win games thanks to a strong defence thank you. Not to mention that a lot of Bayern fans keep calling for Pep's head.

Uh, I wasn't even referring to the Eva Carneiro case, which I find to be of very little importance, I'm more concerned with how Mourinho handles the squad from a tactical point of view. "He's not happy", "bad transfer window", "our football is negative", "one title in three years is not enough" (even if the third year has only just started)... you know, that kind of criticism. I want him to prove these people wrong.

Watch him produce a masterstroke this weekend and silence all the critics.

On Twitter again https://twitter.com/LHal93, will follow back TC users.

What I'm saying is, it was a deserved red card, so what's the point in appealing. This is why I sometimes flat out despise the club's philosophy, making it seem as though we truly believe that there's a campaign against us and we're the victims all of the time. It's silly and embarrassing.

Why did they even appeal? It was a red card.

I swear this is the only forum in the world where people moan about other people that moan.

I'd gladly take a draw.

Lol, we're going to win the league because of Cech they said.
