@ Githundi Chelsea have been playing counter attacking football for ages. Mourinho has always preferred big players and physical players incl Essien, Drogba,Ibrahamovic, Quaresma etc. No wonder he likes Rooney. Nothing has changed. One win should not make us forget that Mourinho brought the concept of parking the bus to BPL.

Not really, Mourhino first stint, defensive football what is being called parking the bus.
The second stint counter attacking football, just like manu.
Currently many teams have are into attacking football, starting from arsenal, man City, Liverpool, Swansea, Everton, Newcastle, Aston villa......

@ Githundi. In the past teams like Arsenal and Barca always recorded high % of possession against Chelsea and were often caught on the counter.Bayern suffered the same fate in the CL final.
Arsenal have actually changed from all attacking side and have emphasized on defensive solidity .This has been influenced by the Asst Coach the legendary Steve Bould. It is not unusual to see Arsenal playing two DMs (Arteta and Flamini) with the full backs sitting back. They allow other teams to have the ball and choke them with spells of brilliance from their gifted midfielders I.e Ozil, Carzola, Ramsey, Wilshere and Ox.
Mourinho does not have Drogba like players anymore and has to try and use creativity offerred by Hazardand Oscar .However he is unable to use non mercurial strikers.

Arsenal will have a difficult february and early march, but what about after that during the final stretch? They will have good matches and they will just need to win all of them and hoping the other big teams (mancity and chelsea) lose points

Arsenal has Liverpool away this weekend and Man-u at home the weekend after then Bayern the Wednesday after. Now, that's not gonna be easy but I think they can do it.
The thing I can almost bet on is, Moyes losing to Man-u's lifetime bitter-sweet rival Arsenal on 12th is like firing himself.

BBI will solve it :)

@Githundi.....I think its a bit ridiculous for you to claim that Man Utd and Chelsea play the same kind of football. Mourinho's style of play has always been the same especially against the big boys, park the bus and try to score on the counter. At the Etihad his squad was set up to do exactly that against City's attacking players but Demichilis gave Matic too much space and time to penetrate and distribute the ball to Hazard and Ramirez. Earlier this season when Chelsea lost against Everton and Basel (their worst league start in 10 years) Mourinho indicated that his side's poor form is because he was trying to improve their style of play.....when he realized it wasn't working he went back to what he knows best. I have not criticized Mourinho's style of play all i'm saying is that it hasn't changed. Anyway we'll have another chance to evaluate Chelsea's performance against City (FA Cup).
