I am not at all confident about this match. With 10 matches in the last month, our squad is maybe the most fatigue in Europe atm. I expect a draw at best and dempsey scoring of course...

Red nose was actually complaining about the ref brandishing a red card! Said that made his side take the game too lightly

^^ So unlike Iva...

Nah, we lost hope of 4th when we let that lead at the Etihad slip. We have by far the toughest fixtures remaining and I honestly don't see us winning away at Arsenal and Liverpool with our current form.

Worse!

Yep. For me, Mancini must take full blame. Some of his decisions, like taking off Nasri fir Dzeko today, are just shocking.

Balotelli deserved to be sent off today, but not for that! Shameful dive from Sanga.

FUCK!

City need to score. If they don't, Van P**sy will score in the 92nd minute.

I think that he can not develop any further with Dijon. I am grateful for the club for giving Gael the opportunity to shine, but next season he should either be with the chelsea squad, or loaned out to a better team.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks mate

On the bright side, Mr. Atkinson is keeping City in the game. How is Balotelli still on the pitch?

Thanks but I have limited internet downloads so I can't download the whole match, I just need the goals.

It was a brilliant save tbf.

I missed the match because I was out of town for the weekend. Anyone got some highlights please?

Awesome story that was taken from Talkchelsea (It says so at the end of the article) It was actually one of our members that translated it in the first place, but it's great to see it published.

Yes, a fit Mikel starts over Romeu because of his expirience but let's not forget that the lad is just 20 years old and is an excellent prospect. If we plan on keeping him, we must give him more pitch time. As for the Barca game, I'd start both him and Mikel. We will need two holding midfielders if we are going to stop them from scoring, and with all honesty, I don't trust Essien in a game like this anymore.

Yup, he hasn't had his best season, but he's still easily in the top three keepers in the EPL.

The English Football thread is also archived.

Tbh, there aren't a whole lot of English players that I would like to see at Chelsea, Chamberlain perhaps..

^^ Swansea have been very unlucky as well on several occasions not to mention Krul made a few excellent saves.

Newcastle are currently cruising to a win at Swansea that would take them to 5th place above us. We really need to take this match by starting by getting a win against Wigan to get back 5th place for starters.

His miss was by far the worse, but everyone seemed to forget how to score on wednseday. Mata had at least two chances where he should've scored, Torres and Kalou as well.
