As much as he has been poor for awhile now, lets not overreact till that extent yet.

And suddenly Meireles has become our midfield savior...

Good to see the players admitting their mistakes from yesterday but if they really want to redeem themselves, prove it on the pitch against QPR.

No, I wouldn't take him back. He's a Chelsea legend but he left in the best possible way, winning the Champions League. No need to come back and potentially ruin the legacy he has created here. Furthermore, it's time to move on and usher a new era at the club.

If this team was managed by Mourinho, Luiz would have been a bench warmer long long time ago and Ivanovic would be joining him on the bench already.

Well done Hutch! Great moment for him.

QPR's back 4 vs City: Bosingwa - Ferdinand - Nelsen - Fabio

AVB has now won only 3 of his last 15 games in the Premier League.

That change by AVB after going 1-0 up is so typical of him. Did it here many times and we ended up drawing games. Same thing happening at Spurs. Fantastic start by Steve Clarke at West Brom. 7 points from 3 games against Liverpool, Spurs and Everton is a great return.

Hutchinson is starting today for Nottingham Forest at RB against Charlton. Match kicks off in about 30 minutes time.

Jose and Essien reunited...

Meireles is basically the jack of all trades. Not great at all in any aspect but good/decent in every one of them.

Mikel was the only one in the midfield that looks interested and trying to keep everything there intact when everyone else just disappears.

Smallest squad we have had?! Don't think so. The one we had as recent as in 2010/11 season was arguably much worse than this. We have more quality now in the squad than in previous seasons and it's just 1-3 areas that we need to add a little more quality.

I was talking about the Club World Cup, not the Super Cup. And yes, the most disappointing yesterday was the performances. It's one thing to play decent and lose but it's another to play horribly and lose. Unfortunately, it was the latter and we did not do ourselves justice whatsoever.

Whatever. That's your opinion. We don't get to play in this competition very often and I want to see us win it. Plus, we have not win it before and we didn't get all the way here just to toss another competition out of the window. It may not be the most important and biggest of trophies but winning it will breed confidence and continue the winning mentality of the club.

Just watch Bosingwa putting in the best performance of his life against us.

You don't have to rub it in...

Would be absolutely livid if we do not win the Club World Cup in December. Have already tossed 2 trophies down the drain so easily.

EDIT: Beaten by @, again! :banghead:

Which makes it all the more terrible.

Agree! Couldn't understand why he waited till the 80th minute to make the second substitution and then later Bertrand for Cole? What was that for?!!

Think Cahill is a no-nonsense defender, more than Luiz is. It's just that there are 1-2 other areas which Cahill needs to improve on still but if there is a need to clear the danger first and foremost, he will do it. Can't say the same about Luiz though.
