Yeah it was Courtois fault for that goal. But oh well it's all good. We still ahead by 5 points with Cuadrado coming into our team.

This tie still don't get me excited. There's no passion or no rivalry like with Arsenal and Liverpool. I just can't see myself disliking city as much as I do others. This is why I could care less if they win anything.

Hehe I was just going to say that. Have not seen Terminator X comment on his style of clothing. ?

Wow seriously? Men lionsden, excalibur and such are the most miserable Chelsea fans in the world! Regardless of how we play I'm at least excited about zouma. Surely that's a cause to be merry?

Fans applauding him.

Deserved ban. No campaign against Chelsea, just people being shepo and following everything mourinho says.

Screwed up in the goal there. Hopefully he can have a better second half.

Yes Zouma is starting to get games. So we must stop that talk that Mourinho doesn't give chance to youth. Today it has become a myth!

Yay happy for him. And thank you Mourinho for giving a younger player a chance. He's young and has potential to be better then Cahill.

I said in the past that Mourinho is not good for youth, but him starting Zouma back to back games I take it back. This might be the start and I tip my hat to him. Even though Zouma is not technically an academy player, he's still youth nonetheless! So well done Mourinho.

Has this guy still not sign a new contract yet? hmmm I don't like this.

Question, why you comparing to Willian? Willian plays in the RW. Surely if you put KDB in the RW he will about as inefective as Mata. So the right comparison is with Oscar, if KDB plays in that role that you want to compare with.....

Matic, carvajal, Fabregas and much more are examples of players going back.

Nonetheless you will think our club put in a first buyer refusal or buy back clause....

I see him in the pl next season. City, United or Liverpool will go for him.

Good hard fought win. Nonetheless this is why I never get excited by results like the one against Swansea and schalke. Until we beat to a pulp teams like Liverpool then I will get very excited about this team being something special.

Well that's another thing I was discussing just a couple of days ago how mourinho is no longer as good with subs. He used to spot the danger quickly and make a fast decision. Now his reaction time has gone down a lot!

Would be amazing to bounce back by totally annihilating Liverpool. More then 3 goals score against them should do the trick. ?

I'd take CL over PL. I think Mourinho winning CL will also invigorate him. Before it used to be November, then it moved to December, now it's in January. Pretty soon we will be like Arsenal that slump in March.

And this is why it's foolish to sack a manager after one bad season. Like we did with Carlo, one good and one bad season. Should at least have giving him his third season. Mourinho has not done nothing worthy of sacking, lately the results are not that great but we are not like in relegation zone. The man should continue with his contract. After that is when the club should take the decision if it's good to continue with him or not. At the moment I don't see a case to have Mourinho for the long term. 5 to 6 years should be the max he can get if we continue in this trend. But let's see how we finish the season, still PL and CL to fight for.

Great point, I was talking this with over a friend. How even the great Brian Clough had his downturn. But at that point in time people got stubborn and did not want to see it. Kinda like with Wenger today. Mourinho came here mocking everyone and he is in danger of becoming that person he mock.... That's why the idea of making Mourinho into our SAF is ridiculous. I will be glad to just let him do his 4 year contract and then evaluate after that. To be fair a 5 year project is a lot in this modern futbol. And if he can do that with us then that would be good. But to do a Fergie at the moment that seems hard for any manager out there. That was an anomaly and something we might not see again in a long time.

Think is our defensive frailty, something I been saying from the beginning when we was killing teams. If Zouma is not the answer then go buy a better CB. But don't worry, we will solve this issue by buying more attacking midfielders.

Totally agree. But the problem is that people here don't use this logic for everyone else. Like Pep Bayern getting humiliated by Real Madrid in the CL.

Magic of the FA Cup!

Yeah this is what I'm saying. Mourinho "mind" games are just getting borderline ridiculous. Before he was all cool and control. His mind games had a purpose, now hes just picking a fight with anyone. Just focus on the team from now on Mourinho and mind your own business.
