Closed Chelsea 1-1 Man City

[DYC. 7,542]

Well over 18 months under Jose and hardly any improvement in the attacking play, if at all, in big games. Very disappointing.

Decent result.

[raven8472 32]

Lucky to get a draw.

City will go away thinking 2 points dropped which they were the better team. Zouma for president.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

I think Hazard actually has to drop dead before Mou even considers substituting him, he ran out of gas at half time and didnt do anything anymore.

MotM between Zouma, Willian and Remy for me. Willain edges it because he was the only one bothered to sprint and making something happen until he paid the price and got injured

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

If we played the way we did in the 1st half, we could have won the game. I just don't get it. Trying to protect the lead from minute 1 of the 2nd half. And the fatigue excuse doesn't wash either as he does it against every big team, even when the team is playing well. His tactics actually made the team play far worse in the 2nd half.

Despite the conditions going into the game, at least try and play for say 20 mins in the 2nd half, if it doesn't work, okay, then try and protect the score. But to do that from the start of the 2nd half is not the way of a big football club with so much money. This is what frustrates me the most about Mourinho.

Willian has eaten the ball with a spoon.

Unfortunately his body buid does not allow him to score goals.

[coolhead23 1,146]

Positive: Zouma was awesome. Matic, wow pure wow ... The point is due to Matic without a doubt! He is just awesome, everytime he is not there we tend to lose.

Negatives: Forget it!!!

[DYC. 7,542]

And Zouma, I love you. Same goes for Ramires.

[Hostedenis 556]

Courtois may well have cost us the title here.

You're an idiot. Courtois has won us 5-6 points this season, as well as single handedly got us into the league cup final.

He made a mistake for the City goal, yes. But it's ridiculous of you to claim if we won't win the title, it'll be because of Courtois!

[Viper22 2,418]

Courtois - 5 - Made a mistake for the goal. But considering the number of points he's won for us this season, i'll let him off.

Azpilicueta - 4 - Rare game where Dave got absolutely torn a new one by Navas' pace. Struggled big time.

Terry - 6 - Solid performance from CLL.

Zouma - 8 - Great performance from big Kurt, really plays like an experienced and cultured defender.

Ivanovic - 5 - Good going forwards, poor positionally at the back (for a change).

Matic - 6 - Made some great challenges, but also gave the ball away stupidly once or twice.

Ramires - 8 - Lot of running, lots of energy, lots of commitment.

Hazard - 7 - Great in the first half but faded badly in the 2nd when we lost most of the possession.

Oscar - 4 - Completely anonymous. Defended well in the last 10 but offered nothing going forwards all game.

Willian - 7 - Still has that annoying habit of cutting in but did well today, better passing than usual.

Remy - 7 - Had only scraps to feed on, and scored his one an only chance of the day. Clinical.

Drogba (sub) - 5 - Had little time to have any effect on the game.

Cahill (sub) - N/A

Loftus-Cheek (sub) - N/A

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

We won a point, they just lost two. 5 point gap still there, excellent given the terms we went into this game on the back of a 120 minute semi-final and losing 2 players to injury plus one suspension against Liverpool. Hope Willian's alright.

[Dy-lan 142]

All things considered a draw is a good result. Still 5pts clear with City's fixture list probably worse than ours.

Zouma was immense, loving him more and more.

Now let's get Cesc back and look to push in against Aston Villa

[CHOULO19 24,332]

5 point gap and Zouma MOTM.

[samzilla 517]

when luis is fit, why is it so hard to play luis on the left and azpi on the right?!? ivan just isn't playing well enough right now

[Polo7 3,496]

Jose should be ashamed of himself for that tactic in the 2nd half.

Oh fuck off why dont you. We had no subs that could change the game and we were being completely outplayed. We are lucky to get a point.

[cosmicway 1,252]

Drogba was going to get the winner but no time left for him.

[Hostedenis 556]

- Cuadrado in for Willian please.

I actually thought Willian had a great game today!

[Blue Armour 4,164]

Nothing surprising, just unfortunate that the match came right when Schurrle and Salah were leaving.

You look at the bench, and apart from Drogba there was no one to come and inject life into our game. We had no choice but to go conservative by bringing on Cahill.

[Milan 17,835]

Zouma - take a bow. A brilliant performace in a game of this calibre. He has no right to lose his place now, no way.

The important thing today was not to lose and quite clearly Jose went for it, no matter what he did not want to lose this. He got the result he wanted but we all know we could have extend the lead, shame. On the other hand, City still have difficult games to play and places to go so fingers crossed.
