Precisely. We often don't take most of our chances during a match,and this is what prompts Mourinho to become cautious when we're protecting a 1-0 lead againtst West Brom, or say even a 3-0 one against UTD.

Eliminate the defensive frailties with a very stable back 4, add a reliable goalscorer upfront, and we could see a drastic change in the team's play and of course, the results

That is another reason. Our finishing is the worst among the top half teams.

But from mourinho's tactics ivanovic is the attacking fullback while the leftback sits deeper.

When teams refuse to come out, we should let both fullbacks hug the flanks especially on hazards side where people are now triple marking him. We'll be able to break up any defence when lampards distance shooting from the pivot is added on top of that.

Inclined to agree with the points there but if you noticed, the point I was making to TOPTB was not we couldn't create chances at all but rather that we struggled to create chances and do so consistently when opponents sat back and defended against us. Hence, why I pointed out periods in the matches in which the opposition have done so.

Yeah that's true, and even some Barcelona fans that I know are saying that as well.

That being said, if City can't beat this woeful Barcelona then they are not as good as we thought they where.

lol, they're still la liga leaders

Doesn't really mean much though. They're trying to tweak their philosophy of playing and it's a work in progress. They have recovered from last year, but still have a very weak defense. A lot more gaps need to be filled. City could take advantage.

When Chelsea get: a top striker, two good fullbacks and more depth in center midfield, we will see what Jose Mourinho can do. Right now, I am not quick to criticize Jose because Chelsea's squad just isn't as good as it could be and definitely not a squad capable of playing incisive, quick possession football resulting in plenty of goals. Matic is a very good addition and I was happy to see Mata leave.

Once Torres is out of the picture and Mikel is out & Chelsea add the players they need in fullback center midfield and striker, we can begin to make a better assessment of what is lacking from the top down. Right now, I see the Chelsea's shortcomings from the players on-hand.

I think David Luiz will leave, I wish Torres could leave yesteryear (but it won't happen, I guess), and J. Mikel is just a useless player with excellent ball skills. Need more in center mid, striker, fullbacks and things can truly begin looking BLUE in Europe and domestically.

Why Mourinho just dont shut his mouth and stop talking about nonChelsea teams...we have a game against Everton saturday and today Mourinho is talking about City and Barcelona.

With the Mourinho-Barcelona relationship being what it is, I think it's well said. Either he's right and City goes through (and this puts pressure on them), or this works as motivation for Barça and they beat City, wich will lower their morale.

Barca have performed relatively good in their past 3 or 4 games. Messi is looking alright I guess. I think the worst Barca team is much better than City
