Mata + KDB = Matic + Salah + Zouma + 18mil After so many terrible january transfer windows, we finally have a good one

Arrogant mancity fans are counting how many goals they will score us. I want mourinho to surprise them, play 4-3-3 but go more attacking than they expected. Since they are all expecting us to stay in our 18box, it'll throw their tactics for the match off balance if we attack in the first 20mins and probably knick a goal. Let's play with Matic, luiz and lamps in the midfield. We need height on setpieces and lamps for a legit goal threat from midfield. I know Luiz is not the best in midfield but we always win the big matches when he plays there. I don't know why, but he's a lucky charm in midfield I wish he'll start. 2-1 hazard, terry.

But aguero is shorter than oscar and they cross accurately to him in the box with early crosses. But you are right, we don't really have bodies unless lampard plays. Which is why he should be starting against smaller teams.

I know he doesn't start, I meant he may not be called up for the world cup entirely. And be replaced with fernadinho. Brazilians love technique, even their center backs are technically fantastic. But ramires at least just has to get his decision making to be better.

Just watching some parts of mancity vs tottenham. I swear their full backs create half of their chances with proper accurate crosses into the box. If we had shaw's crosses from wide, we would be more dangerous.

He should be careful, because he could seriously lose his place to fernadinho in the worldcup. He just has to develop his decision making and if he doesn't know how to cross a ball, just whip it on the floor FFS.

I think we have to commend westham defending. Fantastic blocks and bodies on the line stuff.

Jose must be suffering. I don't think he has ever managed a team with horrible finishing like ours. This must be a first timer for him

I was just comparing arsenals defense with ours on current form when you said they had the best defense before meeting City. Dzeko is slower. I was more worried about aguero's pace to go in behind our defence. You know well that aguero is more dangerous than Dzeko. Its sure better than teams camping in their 18yard box. But you know quite well how we suffer when hazard is triple marked, it won't happen in this game for sure. Luckily we all know city won't do that Off topic: I heard toure will miss the game, is it true??

With clinical shooting of 39 shots only 9 on target, with ivanovic crossing worse than phil bardsley of sunderland, ramires shooting from outside the box killing more birds in the sky than getting on target, and with strikers who can't create chances on their own in tight spaces?? Yea we can

Positives: This month, we have conceded only 1 goal. In fact no team had more than 3 shots on target against us. On form, arsenal and spurs defensive record is child's play compared to ours. No aguero, so dzeko will play. He's slower than the former so terry will cope with that well. I was afraid terry and cahill will be done for pace by aguero, not anymore. We are a counter attack team. This is our type of match. City will attack and leave us space on the counter. No more triple marking hazard, if he's on his game we could win. The only fear is they will score 10 goals if they had 39 shots against west ham while our attack bottles chances the most in the league.

We still have a chance if we beat city. Arsenal will fall by february, their fixtures are a nightmare till april. But we really need a proper striker who scores headed goals and finishes chances. Its getting ridiculous. 39shots, only 9 on target, 0 goals is one of the most ridiculous finishing stats I've ever seen.

We desperately need a big striker. To bully defences with strength and score headed goals. And most importantly score 1 out of 39 shots

When it comes to attacking, I'll take phil bardsely over him. Just woeful. He has no technique on the ball. How is this possible that he starts?? I don't think he can jog a ball 10 times, without it falling. Unfortunately he's just an athlete, not a footballer.

Lampard should have started. Big mistake for me. The moment he realised that west ham were just staying in the 18 box, ramires and mikel are useless in that situation and both should have been removed in the second half.

Cahill is technically better than ramires our central creative midfielder. Says it all really

Mention 2 players in the top half of the premier league that have worse technical ability than ivanovic. Even phil bardsley is a better crosser, better passer, better link up IQ. Horrible.

They will tire out in the 2nd half like it happened to hull city. They won't keep up with our pressure. Our only problem is if we don't score our chances

Away from the field of play, Matic is gradually finding his feet back in the capital, with one team-mate in particular playing a pivotal role in enabling him to settle. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3643552/title/matic-big-motivation

Matic: "My first objective when I get the ball is to play forward"

Their owners companies are sponsoring them massively, that's then only way they r doing this. The only way they should rightly beat us in revenue, is by matchday revenues. We are a bigger club, more fans, more trophies, more popular, we are supposed to get far more money than them. The fact that PSG practically doubled their revenues in a year says it all in the validity of their revenues. Luckily we have mourinho, his presence alone markets our club massively in the media and we should comfortably overtake them again.

Seeing him play with ashley young and valencia reminded me of when he played with malouda and kalou... Vanpersie is no drogba either. Mata will have as much impact as his first season here with those clowns by his side.

How did city make more revenue than us last season?? I still can't wrap my head around it. They are toying with FFP

Lampard always scores against west ham. He'll start this. We need a 3-0 win.
