The Mak

Well, if the players start playing well as soon as Mourinho is gone then they know that in future they can just down tools when they don't like the manager to get rid of him...I guess we'll see.

The big negative is that player power returns to the club.

I'm not saying sack him, I am simply referring to your excuse of 'deadwood' does simply not hold ground due to the amount influence he has had over the squad. With the amount we have spent we should be nearing City's level of quality in midfield at least but it is nowhere near it. These graveyard player you refer to, I'm assuming are the same one's José put his faith in while ostracising Mata, KDB, Luis etc.? Give me a break. If I were the board I would be hesitant about giving him anymore money to flitter away on the likes of Salah, Cuadrado, etc as well. Honestly, I wouldn't let Jose touch rebuilding the squad with a barge pole after what he has done to the squad. His first port of call in 2013 was to gut the squad of all creativity for christ sake. We would play even worse football than we do now.

I'm sorry, but with the amount of chopping and changing and money José has spent we should already have deadwood long gone. This just shows that his decision to ostracise certain players and pick favourites was very wrong indeed. If anything, José has created the 'deadwood' problem you refer to by making some players think they are undroppable.

Due to the genius at the club who gave him that fat contract, I have a feeling he won't be sacked until it is mathematically impossible to qualify for the CL...which should happen in the next few weeks with the way things are going.

Just look at the fucking state of this team. Azpi at LB, Zouma at RB, a kid replacing Hazard and Falcao (aka. Torres 2.0) up front. Not to mention we started with the dreaded 2012/13 Mikel-Ramires pivot. All that money spent and what the fuck did Mourinho do to this team? Fucking hell....no wonder we can't string a decent attack together.

Taxi for José.

Lovely, BT Sport angling for a retrospective ban for Costa. Now they're complaining about Chelsea players surrounding the ref when Lucas should be clearly on a second yellow. The anti-Chelsea media is astounding today.

Ah for fuck sake Cahill, calamity.

Didn't RDM play Hazard as a false 9 that time? My God, that was so bad!

We'll find out for sure by next season anyway!

I have to say, we are passing our way through Liverpool with relative ease at times.

If he comes in I can see Oscar leaving for Juve...particularly the way things seem to be going for him and Mourinho.

Who was the special person who locked the thread by the way?

Wow, Kennedy completely changed the game! Won the corner with his determination and got Bardsley sent off!

Traore is wasted at this club.

Sam Hutchinson scored the third. Delighted for him!

Not complaining, just still laughing at José's proposed height requirements to play in the team considering the amount of goals we have shipped already from our weak RB spot.

Swapped out for Baba because he doesn't meet the height requirements! José:

I don't know anymore man. Sometimes it's like he's fucking asking to be put down. I mean, barging into the ref's office? Really? C'mon José, stop the victim bullshit already. It's starting to poison the club and have the reverse effect. It's like the contract he was given has made him think he can do and say whatever the fuck he wants...

I'm saying it now even though I dislike him: if Pep's situation is not sorted soon Roman will do absolutely everything in his power to convince him to take over in the summer. I think we all know how much of a boner he has for Pep.

Willian is brilliant.

Yes, well deserved!

Nice play.

It's like there is a nasty, dirty cloud over the club at the moment. I think a lot of that has to do with the atmosphere Mourinho has created.
