Maybe I am wrong (perhaps Terry is injured) but I guess the thinking with bringing Zouma on for Terry is because Chelsea are attacking more this half which has resulted in a more end-to-end game. To play this way they have had to push their defence up further leaving them more exposed than they were in the first half with more space behind them. They would not have been able to play this way with Terry in the team as he does not have the pace. Zouma is quicker than Terry and Mourinho will be hoping that he wins the one-on-one battles that he will have to deal with when City attack with their pacey forward line as he will have less cover and protection than Terry had in the first half.

Costa's been shit since he's tried to do a Brazilian Don Draper with his hair
 
I know I should want a draw logically but I want Chelsea to lose this. Not sure why. :confused:
 
Michael Cox wrote about this weeks ago. In the last 5 years the tendency has been for the league champions to rest on their laurels.

And has anyone actually retained a title in the last five years?

I find it bizarre. They don't seem to have looked to build on last season at all. They had an average Champions League and didn't win the FA Cup so there was already plenty of room for improvement - yet no sign of aiming to build a team capable of challenging for all of these trophies. They've just opted to look through the shop window from the street while everyone inside buys all the stock.
 
I want City to lose every game they play 28-0

Same here. It's Chelsea vs them so a draw would be best for us which is why I don't understand why I want Chelsea to lose this.

Edit: Bar city v pool. I hate the scousers more.
 
Sterling out of his depth. City are attacking really though. Chelsea aren't so great with the ball for long periods of time. It was foolish of Mourinho not to strengthen.
 
I haven't seen anything from the other contenders so far that makes me think we can't beat them.
 
Costa spends too much time complaining for no reason.
