Did he not take us to the champions league final? Did he not mount a title challenge losing it on the final day? He might be a sh*t manager but you're trying to portray his time at the club as a failure when it wasn't.

There's no denying he's a great manager but my feeling is and although I keep getting attacked for it is that something has seriously gone wrong behind the scenes. Doesn't matter how good of a manager you're, if you've lost the players it's over. Nobody can tell me that things are great and this is just a blip. This is the defending champions in case anyone forgot.

Yes mods, please ban me. Everything is fine behind the scenes and the players are 100% behind Jose. Anyone who dares to say anything different is clearly a troll.

The man who took us to a champions league final and if it wasnt for a Terry slip would've won a champions league? Or the same man who mounted a title challenge and lost it on the last day of the season. Yeah what a terrible manager

Only thing wrong is that he has lost the dressing room. I've said this and I'll say it again; the players are not playing for him. I knew we would lose this game easily and I know arsenal will smash us next week. Throughout jose's time at the club I never felt like that and that includes when we lost to Spurs or Psg. Either roman calls a club meeting and sorts out what's going in behind the scenes or gets a new manager.

Question now should be, can we get top four?

Looks like I was right. The players are not playing for him. Don't know what's happening behind the scenes but you don't go from winning the league to playing like this. It's not even like we've lost any of our key players from last season.

I don't think there's anyway back from this. He's lost the dressing room as you can clearly see the players are not playing for him not anymore.

Yeah this team looks like it could win the champions league.

He can steady the ship till the end of the season to see where we are and then go from there. After that we can see if Simeone or Guardiola are interested.

I know he hasn't been playing well but he's been a loyal warrior for Chelsea all these years and really doesn't deserve all the vitriol he's getting. obviously I understand the team comes first but we need to stop treating someone who's given a lot to the club with respect. Also it seems to me like he's become the scapegoat for our problems, because from where I'm standing, lots of other players have been dire as well not just branislav and deserve the same vitriol.

Most of us would be glad to be made to look like a fool if he turns out to be a great signing. I'm not Hoping for a player to be sh*t just to say I was right.

I've taken a look a look at city's fixtures for the next month and it looks depressingly easy. Their next 'big' game is Utd in mid October and as long as they keep trashing the lower teams they can afford to lose that one.

Where do I start?

Pretty much this. I'd consider it a successful season if we finish in the top 3, win a domestic cup and at least reach the semi finals of the champions league. Also once the season is over we need a massive clearout. Let's do what we did last season- identify those who need to leave and those we need to get and get them as soon as possible, even before the European championship starts.I know we're not going to win the league every season; no team does but I want to see improvement. We have the money and the clout to get these players.

What would I give to see Martinez turn Everton into Wigan. I don't remember the last time I hated a club and a manager as much as these two.

From John stones and Pogba to this. How the mighty have fallen. This whole window has been a complete f**king disaster.

Best thing about this transfer window is how some fans have been brutally brought back down to earth. They were acting like we were too good for Costa and we should be signing griezmann and other players we were never going to get. I would love to say some of us would now be a bit more realistic in our signings but I know better. They'd be asking for messi and muller next January. Lmao

What the hell is going on at the club? Moses was the best player during preseason and you'd think with our shocking form he'd at least be given a chance. it's not as if he'd be any worse than this current lot.

People still keep underestimating yaya. He's the reason why they're playing well. Not silva or aguero or any fancy media darling

He won't because the club and management doesn't have any faith in our youth players.

I'm glad we didn't get him. He would probably have been turned into another defensive workhorse who didn't score or create but at least tracks back. He's playing at a club that makes full use of his talent. Good luck to him.

Who are we even going to sign this late with quality? Stones and Pogba aren't happening and no club will be selling us their top midfielder this late.

If he's not prepared to drop players who are out of form and costing the team points because they're his favorites then we need to get a manager who puts the team above everything else.

The title race is over. Let's concentrate on the champions league now. Forget the league cup, fa cup as well. We are good enough to get top four so we shouldn't worry about that but we need to pour everything into the champions league.
