there you go, right on time

ivan needs to be dropped, hopefully baba will be ready by next week

doubt jose will do that though

I think he'll be a few weeks away

Stones Baba Pogba Greizmann and we are champions league winners.

Lol

Yeah we will spend 150 odd million in a few days

Those of you wishing for signings are deluding your selves. Nothing will happen. Baba will sign, Stones will probably sign but that'll be it. I doubt anyone else is coming.

You've just contradicted yourself.

Would not be surprised if Jose focuses on Fernandiniho not being sent off and Hazards chance making it a different game in his post match press conference.

instant reaction LOL LOL just had to get that in 

The second goal in particular was disappointing by our standards. Kompany made that run on Monday and scored.

You've just contradicted yourself.

Sorry I meant signings that aren't defenders. 

Well that was absolute sh*te, City totally dominated. Whoever made the decision to start pre season late and not bring in a few quality players has really f**ked up in my opinion. Now we are playing catch up and we have players who's fitness levels are clearly low and are now going to be suffering with confidence issues on the field. We look absolutely nothing like the champions of last season. It may be very VERY early days but that was shockingly poor from us today.

Ivanovic was awful at RB again, Fabregas doesn't look interested and is being embarassed by the opposition right now. Costa's touch has been awful, Hazard isn't explosive, and we letting teams create chance after chance against us.

Terrible start to the season.

I agree with this.

It seems like we have taken a massive gamble in terms of preseason and transfer policy, when we really didn't need to.

Lol

Yeah we will spend 150 odd million in a few days

Sarcasm mate.

The only reasonable solution with the players we have is to drop the holy cows to the bench or from the team all together (Terry, Ivanovic, Willian, Ramires, maybe even Costa) and give the new guys a runout. My team for the next game:

 

Begovic

Azpi - Cahill - Zouma - Baba

Matic - Fabregas (or Mikel)

Moses - Hazard - Kennedy

Remy (or Traore)

 

BENCH: Blackman, Terry, Ivanovic, Loftus Cheek, Costa, Traore (or Remy), Mikel, Willian

I believe courtois will be available for next game.

Hazard always starts the season slowly, has been that way for the last two seasons. You would think Jose would know this by now and have got in another creative outlet.

Chelsea PR team doing their bit, Ivan it's been emotional, leave with grace and try not to hang along too long my old china plate 

cheeky from augsburg announcing this exactly right after we got trashed

Edited August 16, 201510 yr by havelschayes

sh*te happens.

 

How many UCL's have Man City won again?

 

That kind of attitude is why Liverpool are a joke.

We missed oscar today, his type of game

I actually think it wouldn't be a bad move to put Ivan at CB

"Jose says 3-0 is a false result", arrogance is a double edged sword. He should just be humble and accept the loss. 

i thought Matic was our best player, Strong accurate, and direct, just needs that around him, Pogba anyone..

Jose reckons we were the better team in the second half. Two mistakes and Hazards miss cost us. Toure should have got a yellow. Terry removed for tactical reasons, he gave him his chance at Chelsea. The cracks start to open....

It's disappointing that, after only a couple of months, our level of defending has dropped from top tier to that which ought to belong with a bottom-half team.

Sounds like Baba needs a ride in Benzema's jet back, little U turn over London.

I'm serious worried about Josè, dementia can be a terrible affliction for anyone. I assume he had it as he said we were the better team in the second time.

first half yea but to be fair until kompanys goal we were looking likely to equalise

Kind of interesting this signing is confirmed right after Ivan gets torn a new ass.

What mumbling BS is jose talking to with Shreeves, just man up and say they were better for FFS..

I don't understand people who are blaming our lacklustre performance on our failure to sign new players.

This could explain why we haven't improved like other teams clearly have, but surely it can't explain why we have regressed?

With no new influx we should at worst be at the same level with that logic, but we're not.

 

The individual class from Hazard, Cesc, Costa etc. is lacking, and I'm hoping they can find it sooner rather than later.
