Milner has been the best player on the pitch.

nealry so close to a 2nd there for super frank

Schurrle showing why he doesn't start, great goal but doesn't do half the work Willian does

Gotta be consistent to be the best player in the league, Hazard goes missing for months at a time. Aguero for me, when he's fit, he scores.

4mins of squeakybum time

Early days yet, but it looks like Di Maria is the best player in the league. Matic is heavily underrated too.

Ah here. If you're gonna go down that line then Costa and Costa only is the best player in the league.

Based on what exactly. A decent 20 minutes against QPR.

GavRedKing

Ill take it.

Delighted we got something from that as Chelsea didn't deserve three points at all. It's a shame though. We really should have won that. On another day we would have scored a few

Nope, 3 very high quality games for Utd. His past seasons at Real Madrid, plus his recent form for Argentina. As long as he doesn't pull an Ozil. He'll be up there, if not there.

Fair result

It is. Top of the league by 3 pts. I agree.

Sanity_Saviour

Thought we deserved to win in the end, City didn't look dangerous enough.

Still a great result, Matic and Ivanovic were very good

Turtwig

Disappointed with Chelsea's negativity there. 10 minute City were temporarily unbalanced and they didn't go for the jugular. Very conservative play. A draw's good for them, but the win was there. They didn't deserve it though, but I'm surprised they didn't turn the screw.

Crackle

Somewhat disappointing to only get a point considering City were down to 10 but overall you have to say City were the better side.

Width of a post undoes us robbed

GavRedKing

Costa hitting the post a few mins before thetly scored was heart breaking. A draw at the etihad is good though.....unless youre stoke :pac:

Yep fair play, think the title is going to Chelsea this season. Still loving the Frank. And there I was thinking I'd never celebrate a lampard goal!

Andersonisgod

I'll accept that. Would have gladly taken a draw at the start to maintain the 5 point gap between us and City but, given how the game developed, can't help but feel disappointed. Schurrle offers so much menace going forward, certainly more than Willian, but much less defensively. Lampard hasn't looked so good in a couple of seasons.

5 points ahead of City, definitely could have been 8, I suspect Mourinho will be annoyed.

Fr. Ned

Good result all round...

Takes the sting out of yesterday for us 'pool fans...

I'd be certain arsenal will not be able to stop Chelsea.

GavRedKing

We'd all have taken a draw at the start so not to disappointed.

We werent good enough apart from a few patches here and there. City deserved a point.

Anyway, nothings won in september so not getting ahead of myself at all.

Impossible to tell, yere our first game in that run so it eill set the tone for that run.

That is our hardest game out of the way undefeated and top. Disappointed not to have 100% still we deserved the win but slack marking for a few seconds.

I think city deserved a point if im honest. A draw is grand though. We havent lost going into a very difficult period

blueser

Disappointed with the draw, to be honest. I thought we deserved the win. More possession, more efforts on goal, more efforts on target, two penalties not given. Ah well; c'est la vie. I think Chelsea will win the title this season; they've been frightening up to today. Better than us so far this season, and streets ahead of everybody else in the league. I'd imagine they'll be happier with the draw than us, I'd imagine.

grumpymunster

Both are decent sides far and away best teams in the PL anyway. Matic and Toure are demons

would have taken a draw before a ball was kicked its only September

Will be weird and interesting seeing Lampard line up against Chelsea if he starts, even more so if he scores.

Well this is awkward...

You're joking, right? City fouled Chelsea every time they tried to play the ball out of their own area. Willian shipped an inordinate amount of fouls. City tried to impose their physicality. They didn't succeed.

Yea City are an awful side they would never play 11v10 in training. Sometimes the prospect of using park the bus or such like phase is too much temptation.
