I think is because we have been more defensive, especially against United. When we went all parking the bus even players like kalas shined a lot like last season against Liverpool. Still not the defender to have if we are indeed trying to improve our game next season. But if we are going to continue with our defensive tactics then sure he is great.....

Chelsea go substance over style in win http://www.espnfc.us/blog/marcotti-musings/62/post/2409279/jose-mourinho-chelsea-superb-at-grinding-out-results-barca-avoid-trap-tuchels-task-at-dortmund-writes-gabriele-marcotti Interesting point from Marc: "A more relevant question might be whether it was the right approach. To some, the mere fact that Chelsea won means it's vindicated, and that's fair enough. But the fact is the game could have taken a very different turn had Wayne Rooney's early shot actually gone in the net rather than fooling a fair chunk of United fans (and David De Gea) into thinking it had. That's the problem with playing in lockdown mode: if you happen to go behind, it's very difficult to come back." Well that's exactly what happened against PSG. We did the same thing against United to PSG and it was bad ugly that everyone was complaining.....

Nope still rather have Arsenal over Liverpool.

So you rather Liverpool win it? Get the hell out of here. I take Arsenal winning it then having a wankfest over Gerrard leaving with a trophy.

Why is that? If their expectations are low next year they can be a dark horse. Who would have thought Southampton would do this good when the consensus was for them to go down? Same thing happened for pellegrini at Malaga two seasons ago when their expectations was low and did awesome. So I will not be in a rush to pronounce such things.

City to finish 4 is good for me. Let Liverpool go to Europa League.

Definitely supporter. Buying from La liga is where it is. So I hope mourinho continues to raid la liga for players.

Good 3 points even if it was parking the bus. Now let's win the title and do some good business this summer because we still short of a few key players to be a more dominant team in all competitions.

If borough comes up why not let him continue there for one more season? Is better he gets one full season of pl as a main striker then a third striker.

All he talks is nonsense. When we do good, nonsense. When we do bad, nonsense. Best to not pay attention at all his comment/interviews, because his a habitual liar and you can never know what is the truth with this guy.

Well to start the real moaning. I bet tomorrow we will be all defensive against United in our own home. SMH

Well last season they won the pl and we are this season. So we done about the same in terms of titles in the last two seasons. However we have improved in terms of squad. If we do the right buys this summer we should be about good enough to win everything.

I guess he still biter about PSG doing one over us.....

Don't be opportunist. There's a lot of time left not to mention a second leg!

Insane Porto up. But if they start going back Bayern will overtake them.

Aye true, but the difference is that Klopp took Dortmund to a CL final. Albeit you can say the same thing about RDM, but seriously this is a different case. He build that squad and made them competitive for a couple of years. The great SAF said once that a team life is about 5 years. Pretty much in par with this one and it was a beauty to behold.

Instability? Shoot that's normal at clubs with high expectancy, look at Chelsea. FFP, no real problem really as long as UEFA continues to let them have their sponsorship deal. Not to mention they can only spend up 50 million, which is not that bad. Aging squad true but that's why you hired someone like him to freshen the squad. And no CL, I doubt it. They will make it by the skin of their teeth like it happen to us two seasons ago with Benitez.

Why is City not a good job? They have more money then Dortmund and he did great with a small budget. Despite the sanction this should be a big step up. Not to mention that City is spending big on youth system.

What you guys think about the potential about Klopp going to city? Klopp leaving this summer and Pellegrini a dead man walking. High chances of that happening me thinks.

Comedy gold this thread

44 million pounds is a great buy for someone that young. I would have not agree if it was someone like Cavani. But this guy is young and is already performing at a high level.

Kinda reminds me of City last season. They play some amazing futbol first half of the season. Everyone was scared to play them, and then started to faded second half. City won a Carling Cup and the League while just making it to the last 16. Kinda similar to us only difference we are ahead by 7 points. Now this season instead of improving they regress horrible, especially the second half of the season. We shall see what is our course next season.

Mourinho the moaner? Makes sense!

Well that's your mistake. Why you believe anything he says?

I will say one thing though in his defense. I liked how he gave a chance to Oscar. Even if he gamble Oscar above KDB and Mata. Now that gamble didn't paid of, KDB is better then Oscar and we got a player that hasn't live up to the hype. But hey he took it and that's what a manager should do. I would like it if Mourinho does the same thing for someone from our academy not for someone we bought for nice money. You took time and trust on Oscar, then do it to other younger players. At least one per season.
