Term-X

No, these type of results against big teams when they score last minute fifa goals are far worse because it's a sucker punch. Last season, we all knew how likely it was we'd drop points against lesser sides, so it wasn't as bad.

He was ball watching for the goal, he was only on the pitch for 2 seconds and lost concentration.. how is that possible.

It's the most dissapointing game since he took over, losing to the lesser sides last season almost became expected, so I won't count Sunderland. City won't be dropping points too often, and we will almost certainly go through a dip in form.

Why the fuck is this forum not in performance mode?? FFS

The little details have cost us the 3 points, Ivanovic giving away a needless foul, Zouma ball watching for the goal...

He was wrong to bring Zouma on, his inexperience cost us.. ball watching for the goal.

Obviously it's the heat of the moment now, but it can't really be denied that he's never had an appetite for the big occasions.

He was a bottler at Arsenal, Barca.. is he going to continue the trend over here. Everton, City and now United, all the big PL games thus far and he's gone missing. We've always had players with the right mentality, Cesc never had it.

Mata assisted Drogba in the CL final, I prefer watching games to looking at stats tbf.

How can he have such great technique finishing penalties, yet in open play.. it seems a different story most of the time. Hazard hitting it straight at De Gea in a one-on-one, so frustrating, easiest save he's ever had to make.

He's still a bottler in the big games, he can't seem to shake it off.. it's in his DNA.

Zouma was ball watching and was at fault for the goal. This feels like a loss, deflating.

Hopefully Drogba won't be too involved in the game, I can see the german coming on as a striker in his place.

It's annoying because we essentially acclimatised Eto'o for Everton..

Messi is better than Maradona & Pele, most of us here are 90's babies anyway, so it's not like you've seen every game Pele has played. Messi is youtube generation, 'everything' is scrutinised.. imagine a coke snorting Maradona in THIS era.

I don't like all this talk about being potential 'invincibles', remember when the media used to go on about a potential Quadruple around 2005-09.. on the basis that we were still in every competition.

Great day for Chelsea fans, bad day for zolayes.

GETT INNN!!!!!

Don't let zolayes see these posts..

I'd be a lot more confident if Costa was fit, if Drogba starts we need a standout individual performance from Hazard.

Lmao at Cesc towards the end

The deal with Turkish airlines was embarrassingly low, a sign Gourlay had lost it.

I still can't believe how far italian football has fallen, incredible.. Hopefully Roma can get it together and send City to channel 5.

Then you don't value the CL itself nor Chelsea's achievements.

Nah, it's not the same.. in a cup competition anything can happen (so it's plausible that City could win even now), the league is all about consistency. We went through so much shit to win just one, if City win it after one good run out of the group that would be horrible. Even progressing to the semi's would increase their status and they'd get a nice chunk of prize money too, which isn't good for us.
