When you look at it from this angle, it's clear to see why Nando was sent off. Raised elbows.

[Special Juan 27,439]

All of a sudden this Saturday is immense.

Mata stepped up, exactly what Jose asked of him.....isn't difficult is it?

Mata performed because they had to play to score, when they play with the mindset to score most players we have will play well.. this was the difference.

Mourinho's underlying tactics are built on defence, if he doesn't switch this around we'll continue to see a lot of underperforming players... he's expecting all the players to change around to his style, perhaps he should switch....

I missed the 2nd half!! :banghead: :banghead:

[Starman60 1,343]

Citeh lose, United lose, and we get a point off the Yids. Not a bad day all round !!!!!!!Now if the Arse lose to Swansea it would be even better !!

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Oh did he ?

I don´t think so. Jose has done nothing to better Mata. Today, Mata showed us what he is all about.

He just needs to play as No 10 & your samba boy needs to watch closely. perhaps, you should stick with your stats, you are good at it.

Looool so bitter. Give José some credit... These last two games Mata showed a lot more hunger than the previous ones

fair enough, Bush. We can disagree. I think Mourinho challenged him. You think Mata has been amazing since the beginning and Mourinho refused to see it. Let's agree to disagree. As I said, you stand by your player, I stand by our manager.

As for Oscar... I think he needs to play better than he did today, so we agree on that, I suppose.

Credit for what, for not playing the best No 10 ? No way, Jose.

Done nothing to deserve it.

[Stingray 9,441]

for some people around here it is. Especially when it touches their Player FC, I mean, their fave players.

I am really fed up with this sneaky bullshit 'on the fence kind of comments'."some people" - as if that gives you any authority or brings weight to the argument.

Personally, Mata for example isn't even my favorite at all. Never was. Some people just acknowledge what this guy does for the team and support their players. It showed again this match. It is so screwed up to say he became better because of the Mourinho treatment. I think he crawled out of that demotivational hole despite of the treatment, really.

Jose benched him, nothing else. Clueless decision in my view. No reason for it. Play your best player for two years running, that´s what Jose should have done. Oscar may play but not as No 10. He still has got a lot to learn from Mata. Trust me on it Bara.

[calculatingInfinity 1,452]

Of course it's in a match where Torres actually plays really damn well that he goes on to do such dumbfuckery again. The actual sending off was BS, that was nevert a yellow. But it's hard to feel hard done by when he should have had a direct red for that hand in Vertongens face, disgraceful stuff by him and extremely dumb to do that.

Well, I wasn't talking about you (or to you), I answered straight to bush twice, so let's leave it to that?

You're entitled to think whatever you want about the Mata-Mourinho situation. We've seen people around here being about individuals, players more than they are about Chelsea and it feds us up. So I guess everyone will have a reason to be fed up, others will bitch about it, others won't, so let's move on. The guy I had the convo with didn't seem as half bothered as you are, unless you think it fits you...

[Special Juan 27,439]

12th United And apparently it's a Chelsea crisis.

[bushman 2,043]

Whatevs

Happy that you agree with me. Keep on trucking.

UNITED AND CITY LOST!!

SO FUCKING HAPPY!

Now I'm more upset that we didn't capitalize and win

[Tomo 21,733]

Just to put perspective on things, if Arsenal lose, we will be two points off the top having not really hit form yet and already having three top 6 away games.

Could be worse.
