They didn't even watch the match la. Why would fans of such a prestigious and history filled club with such beautiful football watch a game involving our boring, PTB football?

Most probably they just see the score the next day 1-0 and headlines. Then get excited about their new transfer signings and potential links to every single player in top tier of football.

Lets start chatting on this coming game. I got a bad feeling, not the players on both end, or the location of the game but the crap referee - Mark Clattenburg.

Costa match ban but we got remy and drog.what concern me the most is fab.

On the other hand,aguero still not on form after the injury and yaya toure not available which are advantages to us.plus i hoping mangala not the mangala when fought before.

I prefer we go 433 this weekend.utilize mikel at his best position

Paul Pogba will leave Juventus in next 18 months, says agent

expecting our line up to be :
Courtois
Iva Zouma JT Azp
Mikel/Ramires Matic
Willian Oscar Hazard
Drogba

Defensively, Zouma > Cahill now. Esp his athleticism to cover pacey strikers like Aguero. and his composure > Cahill as well.

as long as we have Matic, partnered up with Mikel or Ramires (if Fabregas cant make the game), i think we should be able to hold the midfield, since they missing Yaya Toure.

Striker upfront, I think Drogba will start. he can help out defensively and rely on him to battle kompany. and hopefully a clumsy Mangala. 1st half should be defensive until 2nd half.

2nd half maybe sub in Remy to run past their tired CBs.

KTBFFH

Not sure he want to join Chelsea .... He request for high pay check

haiz.. no costa vs city. i think drogba will be a better option for this match. need his beastly strength to challenge mangala and kompany.

will be happy with a draw. win will be a bonus.

how about if Jose gamble with Oscar as CM and Hazard AM Schurrle LW and Willian RW..hahaha

It seems we're going to contest the charge,with the result of any appeal being announced before the match. Let's see where this ends,but i don't have a good feeling about it.

Expect Jose to blank all english press conferences for at least a month ala fergie style,if we lose the appeal. Knowing jose,he'll use the outcome to fire up the players even further

Now where's that cuadrado dude?

Putting oscar in deep midfiled role would curtail his ability by a lot... He is not a natural deep lying playmaker...

many of us have been crying out for oscar to be tested in a deeper midfield role, but for some reason jose just doesn't see him fitting in there. benitez would've probably given it a try already, but then again he tries everything doesn't he?

schurrle's swansong at LW vs man city, getting the winner in added time? haha that would really fill the back pages (not to mention increasing his transfer fee by 5mil lol)!

hmmm some unexpected rumours regarding west ham's enner valencia. are we really interested in him?

Dun think schurrle is available.

chelsea already confirmed they cancel the pre-match press conference for the game.
media blackout is on

if Salah leaves as well, most probably there's gonna be a replacement. this guy can play as winger iinm.
i think Douglas Costa news dying down. Shakhtar price is usually very high.

cuadrado might be playing this weekend

I think only 1 will leave, Schurrle or Salah. Coz Mou will want replacement before he sells. So Cuadrado can only replace 1 player. Who to replace the 2nd player leaving? So I'm guessing onli 1 might leave. Schurrle or Salah. If both leaves, we will sign another player, or recall a winger. Name it Atsu/Piazon/Traore?

For the match against City. I think this line up will start.

Courtoisl; Azpi, Zouma, JT, Iva; Matic, Ram; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Drog

Drog will not play full 90 min I think, 2nd half maybe Remy sub in.

DC suspended for 3 games by FA
