Seriously when you guys learn that we don't do youth? They have to do extremely well in loan for us to consider them like Courtois.

No we don't because we have Costa for about the same price as he was sold.

Kalas ain't good enough for a German team then he ain't good enough for us. So stop wasting your time thinking that we will be using a lot of young players. We will continue to buy ready made players for the foreseeable future.

No doubt we get psg/Barcelona

Lol that's just so amazing seeing Liverpool be so bad.

I been wondering if Arsenal, city and Liverpool finish second then we will have 3 less contenders to play against with. That increases the chances of us getting at least Barcelona next round if they finish second.

A minority of deluded fans where the world doesnt care only you.

We have a good balance team now. Yet I still will feel our defense is our weakest link.

You mentioned City, this is Schalke. If you think we will play like this against Real Madrid, and Bayern your in for a shock. And to be fair, against the like of these we will have a higher chance of progressing via defending and counter attacking then to try to outplay them. People will criticize him because we will play like a "Small" team but it will be the smart thing to do.

Yeah he's a top dog. I hear he wants to come to the PL soon. Arsenal seems like the club he wants to come, but I hope they are deluded to keep Wenger over him!

Like this:Did you know that eight different books have been released to commemorate the story of Liverpools second-placed finish in the Premier League and how close they came to re-establishing themselves as the champions last season? Only one was brought out about the champions, Manchester City. ........ As you see no one cares about city even if they win. That's why I rather have them as our number one rival then Liverpool or United. United and Liverpool have a lot more fans world wide and media favor them a lot. So the less popular club as our number one rival for the next decade is fine by me.

Now we get to see some youths play next game!

Would be amazing if City go to the EL so they can waste their energy playing on a Thursday night. So what does City have to do to get third place? Before they was dead on track go finish last.

I find it an insult to mourinho and Chelsea that you think this city is good enough to beat us. You have lack of faith because you truly don't love our club.

I think Aguero. Arsenal will still get their customary 4th place trophy as per usual with or without Alexis! ?

He might be a United closet fan. Because I don't understand the hate against City. No one gives a crap about them even if they win the tittle. They aren't as good as us. And have FFP problems. I rather have City as our main contender in the next decade then United or Liverpool. The media will always be bias towards those two. They will never cared about City.

Anyhow for me Aguero is the best striker in the world. I love Costa, but Aguero is on another planet. It's a pity we wasted 50 quids on Torres instead of him.

Your such a drama queen. City ain't that good men. If we can't beat them in the CL then they will deserve it. But we are better and should beat them.

Good stuff. The Spanish commentators who often criticized Mourinho and Chelsea for playing like a small team they was praising them both. Nice to see. But they did mentioned that they wanted to see how we play against bigger team....but I know how that will be if we go by City and United game.

To think we could have had Aguero instead we went for Torres!

So a tie for them. Men I guess they are still alive. Going to be a very fun game the Roma vs City. Edit: NVM City do it like I thought they was going to do it. That's why you don't jump the gun. All those you who bet against City I hope you learn next time. I knew it would be a very tricky fixture for betting.

Well can't argue against the record. Just like we can't argue against the record of Mourinho as being one of the best managers in the world. Anyone who want to debate this simple is just hating, as the stats don't lie.

Didn't I said before the game to not count them dead? I was saying that I was feeling too much complacency by Bayern side. This same thing can happen to us in the PL, that's why Mourinho talks about not getting complacent.

Like I said before, I would not be surprised if City have their game of their life. They already beat Bayern last season. So let's see before jumping the gun.

Jose Mourinho insists he is not motivated by the thought of matching Roberto Di Matteo's achievement of winning the Champions League with Chelsea. Instead the Portuguese wants to set about building his next great team at Stamford Bridge, one that is capable of challenging for the trophy which has so far eluded him during his time in west London. Having delivered European Cups whilst in charge at Porto and Inter Milan, Mourinho so far has not been able to repeat the feat with Chelsea - whose one and only success in the competition came under Di Matteo's stewardship in 2012. But this season has started promisingly for the Blues, who are unbeaten in all competitions and sit clear at the top of the Premier League. Progression into the knockout stages of the Champions League can be attained with a victory over Di Matteo's Schalke side in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday evening but Mourinho is not thinking about having to equal the Italian's triumphs during his spell at Chelsea. "Don't ask me to speak about him," said Mourinho when asked about Di Matteo. "The history is the history - he was on the Chelsea bench when Chelsea won the Champions League and he is a historic name in this club, I have nothing more to say. "My name is in the history of this club. A football club is made of many, many names not one or two names or one player or one manager. I did my history here and now I have the chance to make more history here and he was Chelsea manager and he did his history." Mourinho even said that winning the competition was not necessarily evidence of managerial brilliance. “The Champions League, many, many times I say, is not a consequence of a great work,” Mourinho said. “Sometimes it is not. You can win the Champions League in the worst season. You can finish fifth and win the Champions League. "Right. Liverpool did, and Chelsea, too. A knockout competition is something that always has a big percentage of unpredictability. "I can do nothing to win it. I can only work to improve my team all the time, make a very good team like we are doing. "Me working on the pitch, the board working at other levels to make a great team like we did in 2004/05/06." Mourinho has targeted victory in Germany to secure safe passage at the first opportunity and avoid tricky fixtures in amongst important domestic games in December - warning his players not to take qualification for granted. The teams drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge in the first round of fixtures before Di Matteo replaced Jens Keller as Schalke boss and even another draw on Tuesday would go a long way to keeping Mourinho on course to bring his first European Cup to Chelsea.
