THANK YOU. Do people expect Jose to bend over and take it in the stinker? Whenever he speaks the truth it's "mind games this and mind games that". Well I'd rather have this than a disinterested interim head coach trying to get along with everybody like a freshman in school. I'm glad he slammed Wet Sham, they're a shit club and they deserve every piss take they get, hypocritical or not. I'm glad he's getting criticized though, because he can take it. When's the last time we've heard anything bad about our players? Exactly, they have no time for that anymore, Mouro has their hands full. Just like old times. EDIT: Almost forgot - Jose is a genius.

Did it have a deadline for collecting? If yes, then prove it. If no, I will claim it.

What were the stakes?

We had more shots on goal than them, a simple logic to refute their claim is by stating the fact that buses don't shoot. Also what makes people say we played three defensive midfielders? Since when do defensive mids run down the wing and end up in the box on every attack (Ramires)? Or are they talking about Mikel, who played like 2 seconds in total?

First of all a big FUCK YOU to all the doubters and naysayers. Fuck you to EVERYBODY who didn't even entertain the thought that we might actually do it. Fuck you to all who wrote us out of the FA Cup after finding out we drew City for the next round. All of you classless pricks have been fondling my nerves for the past few days. I'm not even talking about opposition fans, it's normal for them to be confident and slag us off, I'm talking about the so-called fans on here, on TalkChelsea. I bet you're the first in line to reinstate our "title contender" status now, aren't you? After absolutely beating "your" team down after every draw or loss, you're the first in line to criticize our manager and the first to suck his balls when something goes right you fucking glory hunting SCUM. You clueless shits will never learn, you probably weren't even here in Mourinho's first stint. You know who you are. Now that I got this out of my system, a few words about the game itself. It was class, absolutely brilliant and classic Mourinho team performance. Everybody did their jobs and I simply enjoyed watching City players squirm in frustration, wholeheartedly loved it. Choosing the man of the match was tough, I was considering Hazard Brana and Matic for it, but in the end I decided to give it to the man who was thrown in the deep end on his first full debut - Matic. Ivanovic was brilliant throughout, even if you take the goal away, he was a mountain, as was Cahill and everybody else to be honest. Soooo happy and pleased

Why do those seemingly intelligent and successful people do hard drugs? I mean you can't go much further than heroin, this is pretty much the end stop for most junkies. What the fuck is going on with them? Do greedy doctors get them hooked on opioids on purpose? How often do you hear those stories begin with prescription medicines? Pretty much every time.

What's the point?

That's sweet, they think we're gonna play without a defensive midfielder. Fortunately it's not an AVB team anymore.

I like Hazard on the wings. He has more room to run into and do damage on their flanks. You aren't really given enough time to think or hold the ball when you're charging through the middle and most of the time, against compact solid teams, you end up passing it sideways to someone for an answer because there's more room and time to cook something up. I'd rather that someone was Hazard, he's given me no reason to think otherwise. Plus there's the defensive side of things as well - I'd rather someone more reliable occupied that space (Oscar).

So how did he play?

Kagawa would make sense to capture the Japanese market. When's the last time we had a Japanese player, if at all? It's a huge unexplored market. Of course it's not gonna happen, we're gonna have to wait for our Asian breakthrough.

Lmao, as if they're any better than Barca or Bayern who have never thumped us. I predict 5-0 for us.

Might get triple this amount in a few years. A low risk signing for our financial machine.

You need to give a source at least. Who are their natural replacements? I know about Džeko for Agüero but what about the other two?

Yes, that spot is taken by Chalobah apparently.

I'm sure St. Etienne want to sabotage their chances for 3rd place. Anyway, I just hope people stop comparing young talented boys to [insert a club legend name here] and especially saying things like "future captain of this and that". I've heard such things throughout the years more than I care to admit and guess what, rarely do I see such huge expectations have any positive outcome. Sure he may be an exception, but it still tickles me the wrong way, because people expect youngsters to follow in someone else's footsteps and force them to copy their past legends. Just let Zouma come in and stop polluting his mind by letting him think he's the best there already is and that his future captaincy is a given. Welcome to the club, pal. I hope you succeed in your own way.

Are there any numbers around on how many full games Mata actually played for us? All this talk about his energy and whatnot made me curious, because I remember that at least AVB used to sub him off in almost every game for his lack of stamina.

So that means we're gonna sell Oscar too? Crap.. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Looks about right, good old counter attacking 4-3-3. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

We can do it if we set up perfectly. The best possible squad in the best possible shape. Zero individual mistakes, zero collective mistakes, zero mistakes of any kind. We are gonna get chances because City are going to attack and leave room to exploit and when those chances present themselves, we must make sure to take them. Unfortunately, considering our current form in front of goal, a 0-0 draw is more likely. We could settle for a draw had we won yesterday, but now we have no choice but to go for it if we're gonna take this title bid seriously.

What assist? That pass to Young was recorded as an assist? Load of bollocks, Young took 100 touches and ran a mile before he scored.

Last 2 games we made 58 shots, 14 on target, scored 1 goal. Out of those shots 24% were on target, and out of those on target only 7% was converted. To top it off, that one goal was a free-kick. Pretty much tells the whole story.
