Sir Mikel OBE

23, and he looks to be the real deal. Strength pace Positional awareness He could turn into the best Centreback in this league if this wasn't just a one off.

The side is shit if playing more open against 10 men city would have led to a massacre though. I'm sorry but playing on the counter and conceding possession like that against 10 men is unacceptable with the talent we had out there.We literally begged them to score, and mercifully the Brentwood alumnus obliged us.

To be honest I think Ramires was brilliant from the start today. Made a lot of great runs behind their back line which was not spotted, very disciplined in tracking his men, and a great clearance which surely saved us from a goal.

Was it the defense fault we could not hold on to the ball when they went down to 10 men?

He needs to play now. This has sickened me to my stomach. The fact that we have a true threat just riding the bench while we play a 36 year old twice this week makes no sense to me. What was Remy bought for?

The same defense which shut down Manchester City at home for the better part of 90 minutes? The defense was fine. Schurrle shat the bed and shit happened. We had a lot of problems today, but the defense was not one.

Of course he was right. Demba Ba left here on good terms and he had no reason to lie.

I know we were winning when Drogba was warmed up, but what the hell man we can't give our second(He might be third for all we know) striker on against the champions with a 1 goal lead? What sense does that make? Total lack of ambition by Mourinho. Why even bother starting him vs Bolton? Just give more minutes to Drogba.

A point, in that fashion, is terrible. They were down a man and absolutely DOMINATED us apart from 1 counter. That isn't the form of champions. Fucking hell even stoke showed more fight at that point.

Schurrle got done about 5 times before that goal came in. I don't know what was up with his shit, or with the team for not noticing and helping him before that. Why were 10 guys dominating us? Shit show. Nobody is MOTM for me.

And they still have the ball.

Schurrle got burned repeatedly on the right and nobody still helped him.

Man what the fuck play Remy.

FUCKS SAKE!!!!

Lampardddddddd

8 points clear!!!!!

Bring on Remy and lets win this!

Good job Costa! Got Zabaleta off! Brilliant move!

Mikel...the fuck?

I did a double take there. I knew that wasn't Toure running like that in the middle to tackle Hazard . Mangala looks a decent player.

This sounds like the world cup all over again. If Hazard isn't receiving the ball he needs to go get it. That is no excuse for being anonymous.

Silva should be off for that

To be honest Willian has been great drawing these cards

Stupid card by Matic.

Is schurrle on the bench? Him for Willian would be my first move.
