after such an awful start to the season we need Matic on top form for this to stop Payet.

look forward to see how he does at Old Trafford on Sunday, so far the best team he has played against in the PL is Spurs and he looked horrible against them.

yeah right!

our POTY so far this season

Brilliant performance from Matic! finally he is getting back to his best after an awful start to the season! now he needs to stay consistent, Kiev were very poor in attack tonight so i hope this wasnt just a one off from him.

we have purchsed world class talent though, and as for world class players there are not many and most are/were unrealistic for anyone to sign

yet he is a bench warmer at Sevilla

where has this myth come from that Chelsea have struggled to buy world class players??? what world class players have we actually put bids in for over the years? the only one i can think of is Modric, he wanted to sign for us but he played for Spurs and they would never sell to us.

yes very true if you ignore Man U at home and Arsenal at home last season and Liverpool at home the season before, then yes Hazard has yet to decide a big game. Remind me again of the last big game Bale decided??? :confused:

I know we have a track record for letting players go who ask to leave, but none were important first team reguars, with Hazard i cant imagine him being desperate to leave, and hand in a transfer request and demand to be sold i dont think he is the type of person to do that, as long as Jose doesnt freeze him out for the rest of the season, and he start to enjoy his football again i think we can keep him here. It wasnt long ago when he said 'Chelsea is the only club that makes me dream'

we wont sell

exactly! I have come to accept it now this forum is full of fickle fans

yes because Pulis could obviously win the treble with Porto and Inter and back to back PL titles with Chelsea.

very poor in the 1st half against Inter, but was much better in the 2nd half, he wasnt 100% fit but showed glimpses of what he can do, I would still rather Verratti over Pogba though, but i doubt we will sign either of them

This guy cant even get into the Sevilla team and people believe Mourinho would want him! :confused:

yes! winning games will give the players confidence, and playing bad and winning will give them confidence as they will think 'we are winning and not even playing at our best imagine how easy it will be when we are playing well' and yes of course we need to play better but its not going to happen over night, winning games and gaining confidence will certainlly help though.

of course im concerned with our form and relief is exactly what i felt today! but i am realistic and know its gonna take time for us to get back in top form, i am certainly not going to moan about performances after a rare win this season

LOL cant stop laughing at the fact people are still moaning after a win and clean sheet today! after the way we have started the season, our performance is not important at all right now! getting 3 points and building confidence and getting back used to winning games is what is important right now! What did people expect us to suddenly start playing Brazil 1970 after not playing good football at all for the entire calender year of 2015??? fact is its going to take time to get back to playing good football, right now if we can keep winning games without being at our best that is fine by me, it really is hilarious seeing people moan about our performance after being so awful this season! right now i will take any win we can get.

so it looks like you have been owned again then.

No doubt the main reason why so many hate us is because we are successful! if we were not winning trophies and still behaved the same way we wouldnt be hated no one would really care about us, but as long as we are winning no matter how we go about our business people will hate us regardless.

how can you talk about dignity when you show none towards our players! you described them as 'your stars' yesterday, so i take it that means you dont want to be associated with them?

Non Penalty goals in the last 4 seasons Costa 76 goals in 149 games - 0.51 goals per game Aguero 91 goals in 164 games - 0.55 goals per game So as you can see Aguero has scored 15 more goals in 15 more games then Costa, (who has had a number of games on the wing in that period of time). So as i said its even closer without penalties, so when you look at what each player has done for his teams and what he has achieved with them in the last 4 seasons, no doubt Costa comes out on top. So if it helps you sleep at night you can keep believing Costa isnt world class and isnt on Aguero's level it just shows how delusional you are.

Yes the point I am making is that both of City's title wins shouldnt have been competitive but they were because City were not that good, last season should have been very competitive but it wasn't because we were very good and very consistent. Which is why I don't give Aguero much credit for City's title wins as City should have won the league both of those seasons much easier

what are you talking about? uncompetitive is a word. I meant both seasons should have been uncompetitive, in 2011/12 their only competition was an average Man U team, if City had a better manager they would have won the league with 4 or 5 games to spare, in 2013/14 their main competition was Liverpool, and they ended up gifting the league to City in the end, again City with the money they spent on their squad and the players they had they should have walked the league. both of City's league wins were far from impressive

Very True. Right now Vardy and Mahrez are better then Pogba and Gotze, maybe we should sign the 2 Leicester lads?
