please burnley!!! a goal!!!

i can guarantee you that city will ATLEAST get a 3+ goal win against spurs.

very unlucky not to get a win today. we should have had a pen, we should be looking to fucking SHOOT, once in a while. JT was very poor today. not just for the goal but almost played shane long in too. costa's away form has been poor. dont understand the fuss and hype over luis. azpi is a much much much better defender and luis' crosses really are not that much better. still top of the table but we have thrown 7 of the 8 point lead. and now really need to get back on track. next match away to spurs and i just dont want to start the year with us going second!!!

willian on for mikel. think schurrle gets 15 more minutes. bring rambo on too jose..

any idea what was the fees? i mean why the sale when he was already theirs for the period. plus i dont think milan can get rid of torres now, can they. i mean a player is allowed only one transfer. or is he going on a loan swap?

mikel, schurrle out rambo, willian in.

true. also willian's end product might be poor but his running and normal game is pretty good. schurrle on the other hand is getting owned by an 18 year old rookie.

is not this like hazard's first away goal in an year or something? what a time to get it!!!

oscar is not in the squad

HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! we needed that. more than anything in the world. think jose would have changed something like mikel out for DD in and left us completely prone to counter.

good team. more importantly soton missing both their FBs. come on chelsea!! lets get that win!!!

Salah is better than willian!!!! This forum never disappoints!!!

CHELSEA HAVE CONCEDED THE LEAST NUMBER OF GOALS (13) AND SCORED THE MOST NUMBER OF GOALS (40) THIS SEASON.

fair enough. the only difference was aguero. the first goal was a bad touch made into a goal by an amazing shot, then their was a clip pass by aguero for another goal. but except for that one person i dont think there was much differencr between us and city. the fbs were not a major factor in deciding the match which was pretty much done once they took the lead and made sunderland impotent in their counter attack game plan.

the difference was we were playing a team against whom we had won twice in the league already, we played salah as our "false 9" for 45 minutes while city had their main team who would have been far far more hungry for a win against us. the last line is what i am saying. you can give reasons/excuses for it, but these are professional players who are being paid to play.

CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND!!!

stoke had a gameplan which worked like a charm against city. their effort on that day against city was no less than their effort against us. only difference being we scored in the 2nd minute thru a corner while city could not. that goal changed the whole game and the way they would have set up to play against us. their is a big difference in quality between us and city? what ways? and again you are missing the point. i am not talking about tactics here. tactics can go bad, but anyone who saw the sunderland vs city game and sunderland vs chelsea game, would easily understand the massive difference in their level of effort and the kind of half arsed performance they put on the day.

ofcourse a derby if a massive thing. playing fulham at craven cottage in a london derby is the same as some other game (for fulham that is). ofcourse a derby makes a massive difference. add to that the fact that united have quality, world class players. so even comparing that one-off against something like newcastle or sunderland just does not make sense. i agree with you that teams play amazing/crap at different points of time but not within a week. sunderland went from being defensively amazing to "bending" over for city 6 days later.

why do you want diego to be handicapped? on a serious note - what a cross.

so a manchester derby is equivalent for you with a match against sunderland??? if that is the case, then even i got nothing more to say.

huh??? what you have been saying is that teams like newcastle, sunderland, qpr etc etc play as well as against us as they play against city. united in a derby clash, despite united being poor these days, is hardly an example of this. i dont remember foster making a howler against us but i do remember players like colback, cattermole, shea, sissoko playing the match of their lives against us.

its not luck only... you dont need luck when u get decisions like these

there is a difference between having control and giving control. against stoke we had control, today after the GK makes such a howler and then the ref gifts them a penalty, they were literally given the control. same was the case against everton too. city have not been anything exceptional despite their winning streak. and that was a one-off. they played well with 10 men against us and similarly were crap against united who had 10 men!!! you are not getting the point here. arsenal hate playing stoke, they have a hard time against them cos their playing style simply makes them weak. but that is completely different from teams putting half arsed performance and simply not showing up!!!

stoke bent over for us? really? we played good football. we got an early goal and had perfect control of the game. it dint mean stoke were poor. today wba have been SHIT!!! gifted a goal to city... an early goal, then the ref gifts them a penalty same as against everton. which is a massive difference from bending over the way newcastle did against arsenal after the performance they put against us.

yup. cant see cesc not starting. would have liked this team though
