Well I went to the game today and didn't think you disgraced yourselves at all. In the first half... We were sensational. Title winning performance imo. You couldn't get near us. But playing like that not many would. Second half I think we stepped off the gas and we allowed you back in the game. But you did well. Good passing. You need to work on taking chances and creating opportunities and I don't think Graham will be impressive for yous this season. However overall you dealt with the Mourinho factor well. Aluko looked sound. Thought Boyd did a job when he came on. And Brady looked decent too! Think you could do with a top striker though. Not getting Austin was a blow. I was surprised you didn't sell out the whole 3000 allocation but still a decent following. I'm in the East upper (To the aways fans right if your in the away end) and right next to the away end and you were good. No 'mauled by the tigers' either which was a result! Aha. Some good banter and few verbals when walking into the ground but you expect that! All in all I thought you were decent. How do you rate our chances? If you play like you did in the second half all season you'll be fine. But will you stay up? It'll be close. Very close. But I wish yous the best of luck this season and look forward to coming to the KC Stadium in early January. All the best lads
If we play like we did in the second half all season, we're safe. If we play like we did in the first 20 minutes.... You'll win the league btw... thought that for months.
I felt you could have won 5-0 if you wanted. Torres looked dire (as usual) and Lukaku should lead the line for you. Chelsea will win the league, I have no doubts.
that's what i said, you're midfield trio are just unplayable at times and i expect you to win the league your chances, tipping you for winning the league how do you rate us compared to the teams we're competing against when they come to the bridge?
And we were missing Mata today... From last seasons relegated teams.... You were better. QPR beat us but got lucky. Wigan were ****e. And Reading gave it a go. I went to the away games and in the away legs of those QPR again gave it a go cause it's a big derby for them... Wigan were poor.... And Reading got lucky! So I think you'll be on the edge tbh fella. But with some useful additions you'll stay up. Think Palace, Sunderland and Stoke could go
I'm not sure we'll get another player in personally, i'd love odemwingie how did you feel when we brought on thud and livermore?
Cheers mate. I thought, in the second half, we did ourselves proud and looked very good at keeping possession. As for Chelsea, well you blew us away in the first half hour, and to think of the strength of your squad its frightening. Hard to see past you lot winning the league this year
Well... I highly dislike them as they're spuds! But I thought they helped you a lot and they should both start. Especially Huddlestone. It was a lot more fluid and that was clear to see. That midfield pairing could be crucial for yous. But I still think you need a new striker. Your keeper was top as well today. Good save for the penalty
Cheers mate... As for the title... Heart says Chels... Head says City... Just think their squad is too strong for us. United surprised me yesterday as well
United should not have won that imo. Swansea dominated and deserved at least a point. United were lucky Swansea couldn't take their chances.
The title race is wide open this year. Yourselves, Man City and United could all win it. However, I still think you have the best chance due to the depth in your attackers. Oscar, Mata, Hazard, v. Ginkel, De Bruyne and Schurrle are top players, as we found out today.
I am not sure Chelsea will win this year I think they will finish 2nd but I think Chelsea have the better squad for the future. Chelsea could dominate for a while.
We didn't sell out our allocation because £50 for a ticket is daylight robbery. Travel costs on top of that. The title should really be man city's, with the players the signed. But they could easily screw it up. Then it's tight between man united and chelsea.
Thing for me about Chelsea, and I don't see it with any other English team, is you have Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, De Bruyne all of whom love to play inbetween the oppositions midfield and defence and that's where you tear teams apart. With Lamps, Ramires and Essien to add some stability, I can't see anyone handling you if you have periods of play like the first 30mins today. Fair play.
We probably sold out our initial allocation and didn't feel confident we'd sell out an increment on that, so rather than risk losing money on unsold tickets the club didn't go back for more. I'm guessing that's what probably happened anyway.
Are you having a laugh - "aren't taking any chances"? Last season alone Osvaldo.... Punched a team mate in training and injured him for weeks. Had an on-pitch fight with a team mate to snatch the ball to take a pen when he wasn't the designated taker - and then missed. In a televised fans interview said "what ****ing more do you want from me?" On the first day of pre-season training had to be smuggled out of the training ground as the club feared for his life when Ultras turned up to attack him. Yes he's THAT hatd by them. Roma fans are celebrating today and I can guarantee Osvaldo will ruin team spirit and have some kind of huge disgrace incident off or on pitch or both. Its a HUGE gamble by them to sign him.
