I don't think it'll develop into anything worse than that. Relegation fodder is the only other option, else there's little difference where we would finish if we came midtable. We surely aren't going to be worse than the likes of Newcastle or Villa over the season

Hopefully we can still attract an elite calibre of players of we miss out on top 4

Not really looking forward to this. Just avoid a loss please... 0-0 is fine edit: Wait, this is the league cup, not the EPL. Less bothered now since a loss won't be the worst thing

not really bending over; united have been excellent

lol same here

well we're usually terrible against them away; we are playing villa at home (of which the record doesn't look quite as bad) big issue if we somehow lose this. We're not THAT sh*t

lol this is one of the few teams playing sh*ttier than us.

“Matic is one of the players that is really in trouble. He can’t pass the ball in defensive situations” - Mourinho to BeIN Sports.

If we sack Jose who else is there? Ancelotti? There's nobody. No choice but to remain. If we're in this position by the end of the season obviously sack him.

lol 5 goals from aguero, few assists from KDB

Regardless of how bad we do this season, next season we'll still have a champions league spot.

The team should not be collapsing this much, regardless of whether or not Terry is there. In fact, it just highlights the lack of leaders which makes it even more worrying for future seasons. ---- horrendous game ffs.

aside from the actual game itself, what really pisses me off is how we look so sh*t against newcastle every f**king time we face them

oh come on

lol at this. Nobody's even surprised newcastle are doing well ffs

The current 3 match ban with the card has been rescinded, and he still has a charge of 'improper conduct' pending. So he most likely will get a 2 match ban for that. FA could have done themselves a favour and announced all this together. (for the arsenal defender gabriel)

...slept through the entire game lol Oh well, cheers for the points wenger

RLC has been fantastic. 9/10 for me

We've had so many tough games in a row. Not sure at all here. 1-1....?

;( f**k sake.

"we signed defenders to compete with ivanovic, and ivanovic proved he was worthy of a spot by being better than all of them"

agree with big blue on the 1/3. I think the point of stones was to offer a different skillset to what we're normally expected of with our current CBs to allow more tactical flexibility. CM is an obvious issue however pedro is a great signing

Laporte and Inigo Martinez are both just on a similar level / as good and don't have rich as f**k owners like PSG. Wish we would activate their release clauses rather than trying with bids here

Not sure if posted already but http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/30/jose-mourinho-chelsea-changes Mourinho voiced frustration more progress had not been made to secure those pinpointed on his list of summer transfer targets, submitted to the board in late April “City reacted to the fact they had lost the title by buying fantastic players. They are buying more until the end of the market. This is their job and, if they have the economic potential to do that, good. They did well.
