bayern 1-0 damn i guess wrongly chelsea match

yeah. everybody can see it. Cant really start Drogba and expect to play him so long. he too old and rusty already. Should have at least started Remy if wanted to rest Costa. But it would be good to start him and see him score 1 at Chelsea home.

Our def problem still got holes. Getting caught from counter attack.

Jose Mourinho confirms that Costa is not fit enough to play mid-week games, as he is trying to fight off injuries.

Chelsea's FFP player costs

£157m (12-13)
£147m (13-14)
£105m (14-15)

we are getting better with the FFP. thanks to golden triangle of Gourlay Emenalo and our managers.

Ya fair result but disappointed with our team, still play defensive against 10 man really cant brain...lol

Fox sports was showing highlights at halftime from our brilliant win at the etihad last season,and i can't help but be amazed by the amount of chances we created and how dangerous we looked on the break against them,even hitting the post twice,etc.

Fast-forward to today,and we just paled in comparison. The difference was practically night and day. The post match stats showed we only had 4 shots and that's not good enough no matter who we're up against.

This seems a bit like a case of showing them too much respect,which is strange given how they're not exactly on top form atm. What a missed opportunity to open up a real gap between us and them and I can't understand why remy wasn't given a chance to trouble city's backline with his pace.Costa was struggling against mangala and kompany's strength,so what chance did drogba have?

Jose needs to set aside sentiment sometimes. Hope we don't have a hangover after this in the league.

Thanks for pointing that out,i believe you're right, as just that little bit of physicality was missing from midfield which could've made a world of difference to us getting better control of the game. We weren't really overran in the second half,but we almost were prior to zabaleta being sent off.

Ramires and willian both looking really-really off colour didn't help our cause either. Can't disagree with jose's tactical changes today,except for that odd drogba sub. Looking at the big picture,it's a great point but feels a little like a missed chance after being one man up for an hour. Nevertheless,we're in a great position after taking on 2 big teams already.

Back to our goal partying ways in the next match please!

Real Madrid might still want to sign Ramires in January, especially now they suddenly lost Xabi Alonso.
They need someone like Ramires to fill the gap in midfield..

If RM comes knocking for Ramires for £25m, should we sell?? 

If we can get Vidal/Pogba.....

Why not Mikel and Ram transfer out, while Pogba and Vidal transfer in....
