Thats an insult to ponies, weve played like a knackered donkey.

That was no more off/onside thanSami's. Mustn't grumble though!

Ya he was clearly at least a yard off there.

Silva was just on.

grumpymunster

City just toying with us now.

Don't get the mind games muck City are a great team we got the upper hand a few weeks back City tonight. Nowt to do with mind games just a good side playing well.

hots

Well done Azpi, at least we've had a shot tonight.

GavRedKing

Lol at Azp trying from 25/30 yarda.

Why bring on Negredo with the game over and Barca on the way?

blueser

Fair enough. It looked very tight to me. Not going to get into any argument about it though.

Surely you mean little horse.

Any explanation as to why Chelsea have been so poor today ?

GavRedKing

Ya the much better side on the night has won this game.

Agueroooo

Chelsea are a different beast when Hazard is off form.

City have played this game better then the league, theyve been mpre compact and havent allowed the fbs to bomb on. Toure and garcia have bossed the cm tonight.

Mourinho only has a small squad and knows he can't compete in all competitions.

We started very negatively but I think City were just really up for it. We never got the pressing game going at all City finding room everywhere. Sometimes you are just not allowed to play kudos City

You've had a preview of his post match press conference, haven't you ?

Theyve been levels below what theyre usually at and city have been good, simple as i think.

PANIC ANYTIME WE GET NEAR THE CITY BOX

caps on

Will I Amnt

Didn't look to be much in that.

Turtyturd

Someone tell the officials it's too late to help Chelsea.

bad2dabone

Chelsea can't be expected to compete with a rich outfit like city.

Yes...but he says he only lost due to an offside goal.

blueser

I'd have given MOTM to Garcia. He gets a lot of stick of some City fans, but he didn't put a foot wrong tonight, protecting the back 4.

grumpymunster

Hope City can do this on Tuesday.

His best game for City tonight from what I've seen. Never really rated him before.

GavRedKing

At least we'll be the only team to take 6pts of City this year, thats one positive.

Id take that over a QF of the fa cup.

Sugarlumps

Pellegrini just oozes class.

Ya, id love to see city beat barca.

Nuri Sahin

I've seen some abject, lifeless performances from top teams, but that's right up there from Chelsea. City didn't need to get out of second gear. Dreadful viewing.

KingdomYid

Disappointed, was looking forward to a better game.

Nothing major but Chelsea have gotten the majority of decisions.

Pathetic stuff from Chelsea. Pre show is over...now for the main attraction...his interview.

Aye he's a decent man.

Well done City.
Bar a bit of madness, ye should have the FA Cup sown up.

Playing against a midfield with Mikel in it takes away from it :pac:

Christ, for a team assembled at a vast cost Chelsea are just desperately functional, and tonight that was not enough.

100% City didnt even have to be that good to win.

City are favourites now for the fa cup before the draw 2mw.

Tis all about the manager don't you know?

hullaballoo

Chelsea never showed up but City were brilliant today. Well-deserved win.

hots

Apart from us not turning up and City being great the biggest swing has got to be us carrying Mikel for 90 mins and City replacing Demichelis with Garcia. Garcia and Toure dominated our attacking players in exactly the same way we did the other week.

It is isn't it? If you stuck the typical Stoke or Hull starting 11 in a blue strip the resulting playing style and approach would look no different.

GavRedKing

Just had a quick check there, we're still top of the league. nothing to panic about. :pac:

Agreed. I'd have gladly taken one win and one defeat from these last two games, just not the way they turned out. Still; a decent performance tonight from the lads. We seemed more up for it than Chelsea. Good to see Sami getting back into action after his injury. Still sh1tting myself whenever Hazard got the ball; that lad is class and has the potential to destroy the opposition, as he did to us a couple of weeks ago.

stiffler123

Chelsea had two shots all match. Great, disiplined performance.
