agreed with a lot of your ratings but I think you were generous to Etoo

how much would be apt?? actually i have never seen such a pathetic performance so was a little confused while rating.

Just left the ground and happy as fuck I am. But and its my only but... never play Eto'o again. Chelsea!!!

I thought he was their best defender ,,at least an 8 for them so i guess thats Minus 8 for us

Well CIty's defense it's hardly surprising. Defending like a bunch of school boys.

That was a very good first half and a few unlucky chances in addition to Etoo wasting some incredible clear chances a striker just has to net.

I think tha 1st half was actually good football by us. Mazacar had a very good 45 minutes imo. They were fluid and link up well. Finally Oscar had a good match after the injury, he was immense defensively and I came undone with some of his tackles. Mata also had a couple of orgasmic passes and Hazard was very good again.

Two things I think make a difference in our system: Luiz's long balls in the attack and Oscar's defensive contributions that gives us balance.

Now January can't be here soon enough. If we don't sign a striker I honestly think we don't have a chance to win the league, but with a half good striker I guess we actually stand a chance.

I'll pretend Ramires won't miss the Liverpool match...

2-1 city

I am really excited about next season.I mean our midfielders played really well and provided some terrific service but unfortunately Eto'o could not finish at all.

Yes,I know its frustrating but if we can be in such a challenging position at this stage then next season is certainly ours to dominate.

As for this season,we just have to slug it out and see where that gets us.

well, City do have amazing CMs, prob best in the league. Not to mention great players in every position - they have a stronger squad than Liverpool.

Liverpool's Brendan plays good in possession, but they lack quality in certain positions, and heavily lack strength in depth.

To me this is the very best lineup we've got, with the exception of Eto'o. Yes, I still believe Torres is the better striker we've got. We could certainly improve in certain positions, but until then this is it.

We just can't play this well and be fighting to keep the score until the final whistle. Not to mention every time we won't be playing this well and we will need a striker to pull something special like Surez and Aguero do on a regular basis. Oh well.

Liverpool will be the less fit side on Sunday. just realized Ramires is suspended.

This thread is about Chelsea or isn´t it ?

To see, this team missing chances after chances is pissing me off.

Even though, chances were created, I still do not think, Chelsea were overwhelming as I expected. This team is far from being ready to challenge for the PL, I feel.

I think we go 4-3-3 on Sunday against Liverpool

Cech

Iva Terry Luiz Cole/Azpi

Oscar Mikel Lampard

Mata Torres Hazard

Rami is a big loss =(

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I'll pretend Ramires won't miss the Liverpool match...

I'll join you. Then we can bash Jose when he doesn't start on Sunday!

Just an average performance or maybe below average .... The only silver lining is the clean sheet (first back to back clean sheet for the season .. wow)

Over reliance on Hazard and Ramiers in the center .. I m not sure if it is only me but I believe Hazard performance has gone down as compared to last season ...

E'to is just a liability.. i agree with Gary Neville that we play with 10 men!

Oscar continues to amaze me ... the kind of tackles and his work rate he puts in is just superb for a school boy sorry for a creative/attacking player.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Ramires got a silly yellow card. Puts us in a lot of trouble with that. Probably Essien next game?

Schwarzenegger in the pivot?

LOL I actually wrote Scwarzer, but apparently my iPad thinks we're better off playing Arnold there

It's not bad suggestion, tbh Maybe he can "terminate" the opponents attacks in midfield ;goober:

Eto'os finishing was beyond a joke, but he did hold the ball up well at times.

Noticed nobody has criticized Cole. He did some very, very stupid things today. Makes you wonder how he has 100 England caps when he jumps over the ball like a pony several times in the game, hoping that it goes out for a throw in and makes him look clever. Not so clever when on 2 occasions they keep the ball in is it?

Because everyone know this is Cole's last season for Chelsea
