All this laughing at City because Kompany is gonna miss Sunday's game is really gonna fall flat on our faces if we mess things up then..

What happened?

Stats away.... 1. Jose Mourinho has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 1 of 7 encounters in all competitions against Manuel Pellegrini. 2. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge - W11 D2 - and have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of those matches. 3. Chelsea have failed to win any of their last 5 matches in all competitions against Manchester City - D1 L4. Last win was in December 2011. 4. Manchester City have only won 4 of their last 12 Premier League away matches - D3 L5. 5. NINE goals have been scored in the final 15 minutes in 5 of last 7 Premier League meetings between Chelsea and Man City. 6. In 5 of the last 10 Premier League games between Chelsea and Man city, the team that has scored first have gone on to lose the game.

I think that was partly, if not more, owed to the fact Norwich was quite happy to just sit back and play on the break after they got their equalizer and could have scored themselves really. That I don't disagree at all. I do admit it's kinda fun when watching such risks being taken () as it's refreshing but like I said though, the back 3 system - may not have to be a really structured setup - has yet to work in a cohesive manner for us. It's still a bit of a mess.

Mourinho has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 1 of 7 meetings in all competitions against Pellegrini. It has to be obviously noted that Pellegrini was only managing Malaga then..

I don't really think the change to a back 3 has worked the way it is supposed to, apart from getting the goals and winning the goal. There is definitely still a lack of cohesion when that happens. When the change was made against Norwich, we didn't really put them under any sustain pressure or created many chances. We left ourselves wide open at the back, which is understandable given the risk taken, and only scored the 2 goals from counter attacks - 1 with the help of defender and goalkeeper, the other a moment of individual brilliance. Then against Cardiff, we already lost some control of the game before the change was made. And even after that, we still really couldn't control the game and were letting ourselves exposed whenever Cardiff attacked. The 2nd goal for us only came a corner clearance from Cardiff went straight back to us and after Eto'o scored, we switched back to a back 4.

Like Cole has been doing any better in recent times... Said this before, when Bertrand was playing last season and even in the big games, I don't think there is one moment where we were crying out for Cole to return/play in the next game and I think that speaks volume about Bertrand's performances.

Contrary to what was reported on Wednesday...

Scoring goals is considered as creativity?! I don't even think you can compare Lampard and Mata when they both are different type of players and specializes in different roles. They are special players in their own right. And it seems that your posts these days will somehow include small little jibes towards Mata, trying to make as if he's worthless..

Mourinho confirms everyone, except for Van Ginkel obviously, is fit and available for this City game including Cole and Schurrle.

*tsk tsk tsk* Sensitive Choo Choo... I was merely highlighting the part where you said "he obviously watches training and know who is psychically better" and in the context of my point, "Mourinho trains them and watches them in training. He knows best!" as a reason that people basically used these days to justify his selection/decision and anyone that questions him is wrong etc. But yet under our previous managers, you don't see many or the same people using the same reason to justify their decisions. Instead, all those managers got lambasted most of the time but because this is Mourinho, all sorts of leeway and reasons or even excuses are given..
