Closed Southampton 1-1 Chelsea

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

And those calling for Schurrle can see the incredibly average player he is. Not good enough to play for an elite team like Chelsea. Costa very poor. Matic looked very tired. Full credit to Fab and Hazard especially. Those two gave everything they could possibly give.

Hazard man of the match but not in poll tut tut.

[Milan 17,835]

We should have scored from the pressure we put them under in the middle of the second half but you still can't deny the fact we were robbed because of the blatant penalty not given. The extra men for the final five minutes did not really make a difference.

1 point clear with a trip to the Lane, awesome.

1 shot on target. absolute dogshit

can see us winning fuckall this year

taking of mikel for drogba was retarded. as was starting schurrle

referee needs to be hurt

luis is a pussy

city manage to attack much better with no striker

its just rubbish

Rubbish post

[Beepu 1,714]

Should've been a penalty. But 1 shot on target from that amount of possession? Have to trouble the keeper more, hundreds of passes means squat.

[FabHazard 655]

we need the runs of rightback...ivanovic is a liability...oh god bless his shooting.....

[Magic Lamps 11,457]

there goes a title. I don't know what title, but now we don't have any cushion on City we can't rest players anywhere which means we will lose out on one of 4 titles with such a thin squad. Probably will be CL.

All our fancy play is worth nothing without scoring. But the worst thing we did not even try to score. No shots no headers, Forster did not even have to make on crucial save. We lack the killer instinct in Fergie time. Fergie-Utd and even City would have won this with a twice deflected Hernandez/Lampard goal.

And I hope Jose roasts the BASTARD ref in his interview. I hope he shows no fucking mercy. Scandalous, disgusting "officiating".

[Term-X 7,891]

When was the last time we snatched a victory from the jaws of a draw post-85th minute, I don't even recall the last time.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

I'm so fucking sick of this team trying to pass the ball into the goal. The first fucking shot after 45 minutes, and it was a goal.

Mikel is a good player and I have defended him before, but you can't keep both him and Matic on for so long when chasing a win. Hopefully this is also the last starting place for Schurrle in a long time. The team needs to be more direct and when the team did try and be that in the last 10 minutes, there was lots and lots of huge chances. Of course it doesn't help the ref missed a penalty, but fuck me, should really be able to score more than one here.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

We really need to win those games..

[Magic Lamps 11,457]

They did not even mark Iva and let him cross every time, cos they know his balls in are shit.

[iseah100 5,612]

At this rate we're gonna be watching Fat Frank lift the title in light blue...

Lol. Really dude?

Chill people, we still lead. We were never going to run away with the title. How often does the winner of the title lead wire to wire? Hazard was amazing today, as was Cesc. Our fullbacks were shit though, Azpi-Luis needs to be used more often. Mikel and Andre were poor. Costa is frustrating, always on the wing.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

When playing Chelsea, other English clubs intentions are clear, try to make the first goal and then all out defend.

[Term-X 7,891]

At times.. Ferguson's United would be chasing a game in the final 5 minutes, and you just knew a goal was coming. With this Chelsea side.. it's the opposite.

[stroey 2,525]

FA=corrupt, no doubt about it. Last year against Sunderland, Aston Villa now again here. City gets penalties and easy schedules in the Christmas days, we get 3 away games against top 7 sides and penalties denied. (Top 4 game after all our CL matches) The ref fucked up all our players by denying fouls. (Hazard, Fabregas)

Can't blame ourselves, just blame the world we are living in, corrupted football world.

A win against Spurs and we'd still be top of the league after this tough period.

[DazLaughlan 55]

Shit result considering we had the whole second half on top. Would happily see Schurrle or Willian go in January and replaced. Neither give enough attacking.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

We really need to win those games..

True, but we needed to win away to Sunderland more. This was always going to be an extremely difficult game. City won 3-0 there, but I watched the match and that scoreline favoured them a lot.
