Great strike by Tevez. Two super goals from City.

Luiz losing the head there. Lucky boy.

ASOT

Great goal from tevez, yaya and him are having a great game

GavRedKing

Always going be difficult to get back into with 10. Hopefully they keep the ball a bit better for the rest of the game.

Never said he was. His first language is French and the last name Hazard is a French name.

The English don't sound their "h" either so taking 'Arry Redknapp as the precedent, then at least they are being consistent.

Not all English!

double GG

Chelsea needed to take off either Mata or Hazard when they were level. Both of them are terrible defensively. Too late now though.

EDIT: WAY TOO LATE NOW!

Take off Mata or Hazard, Di Matteo should take half the blame if this get's out of hand.

MUSEIST

Twas always gonna happen with 10 men.

Turtyturd

Di Matteo for the sack in the morning.

Cole is been petulant so he could walk but RDM should change it up. Last thing we need is a hiding and jaded pkayers going into Wigan away.

Just wait til the 'are DiMatteo and Chelsea done?' thread after the match.:pac:

Xavi6

Not a bad sub to have

J. Marston

Christ. Any tackle with the slightest hint of force in it gets the ''Off! Off! Off!'' treatment.

markie29

awful goalkeeping there

Mars Bar

Game on?

double GG

What's the rule regarding the goal keeper holding on to the ball after a goal like that?

Paul Tergat

Interesting last 10 or so now

MUSEIST

get innnnnnnnnn

Its a yellow but its bs that Bertrand also gets booked for trying to get the ball back

GavRedKing

Makes the score more respectable but think City will see it out.

You're allowed to give them a slap.

Yellow card, ungentlemanly conduct, and delaying the restart of the game.

Basically hes silly doing it.

Say he got it for pushing the keeper

I'll keep saying it but my beautiful Chelsea is such lop sided team.
We needed proper wingers, right winger in particulary and instead we signed 2 No10's
We sent a good young winger out on loan where he is already making many assists and we play a box to box midfielder on the right wing

We are now left with only 2 recognised strikers, neither of which could be considered in anyway world class

We persist with the immensely likeable but equally unpredictable David Luiz, who doesnt like marking and for the 3rd goal goes wondering into space to block a cross instead of picking up a player.

We also let our right backs get down to 2 options, and one of them is in his final year

Its not as if we dont have any money to solve these problems!

Its daft though. How is he meant to grab the ball back from the keeper?

Don't push him in the chest, does it really matter, as the ref has to wait for both teams to be ready to restart the game

Pretty sure he got it for shoving the keeper rather than trying to get the ball back.

Also why would the city player have to give the ball to a chelsea player? being pedantic city have a set piece (kick off) so shouldnt be prevented from doing so by taking the ball off them
