    Well, we might not have any strikers, but it could be worse. We could have Falcao.
    I know he had a bad injury, but he just looks shot.

    So does this mean Chelsea will bid for Danny Rose :biggrin:

    Everton can expect a big bid for Stones and Adebayor is looking to stay in London.

    "It is very easy to work with Mourinho. He is an excellent person and he enhances my game. He has his own way of dealing with people. He tells you what he expects you to do" - Emmanuel Adebayor.

    Kolarov and Navas have been like new players for City. By no means their best players but they look like they belong in a side of City's quality for the first time. Still think some of their defending and management of the game was poor but they've come out and set the pace.

    Chelsea defended poorly against Arsenal, didn't defend well against Swansea and were woeful in defence today. Take out the solid defence and Hazard's brilliance from last year's title winning side and this is what you get, a mess. Who's going to get the blame from Mourinho today? The kitman? The tires on the team coach?

    Sometimes in football you have to concede you were outclassed. Hopefully Mourinho is gracious enough to do that today.

    Place your bets, who gets the blame for this one? The kit man or the tea lady?

    'I swear I just saw 8,000 Chelsea fans rip off their chelsea shirts to reveal City shirts underneath, then migrate over to the newly expanded south stand #plasticonplastic'

    Pulis v Mourinho next weekend. Two great managers under pressure but not shy of showing their feelings for each other.

    Chelsea have signed Rahman, according to his club. That was a quick reaction to the loss.
    I expect the entire squad to be different by the time I wake up tomorrow morning, at that rate.

    More from Jose Mourinho, on BBC Sport: "It is a fake result. We were the best team by far in the second half. What they did in the first we did in the second.

    "We dominated and when they feel they are in trouble, and they felt, they changed Aguero and Sterling, they try to recover control of the game is exactly when they scored the second goal. For me, completely fake.

    "Their goalkeeper was good and we couldn't score. They were only coming up with long balls and even that we controlled that. Not one single problem in the second half, they had lots."

    "Ten seconds of the game and Aguero was behind mydefensive line. We started immediately bad."

    I know Mourinho likes to play the media game, but he does realise that people can actually watch the game too, doesn't he?
    If a supporter posted that on this site, then I expect that the words "delusional" and "clueless" would be used in reply.

    There was a puff of smoke as Mourinho exited stage left, the medical bag flying over the west stand was not thought to be related.

    I never watched all of the game but according to Mourinho he said City deserved to be 2 nil up at half time but second half he took off Terry to counter Citys tactical change, so he needed Zouma instead of Terry, to push the defensive line higher, and that Chelsea had control of the game second half.

    If Hazard had taken his chance and made it 2-1, he is maybe thinking that would be a fair result, but the 3-0 thumping he isn't used to being on the end of.
