Closed Man City 0-1 Chelsea

[YouNameIt 1,511]

remember somebody betting some money to the forum if chelsea wins(about 100 i think..)

Well I put a bet of about 20 pounds on Chelsea. Gave a x 4.50 return. Pretty decent.

i bet that guy who had 100 quid on us is the happiest man in the world

What a brilliant performance this was. I couldn't believe my eyes how composed and determined we were during the whole match. We didn't let City control the game at any point and we were nearly perfect in every part of the field. If we weren't so unlucky we would have beaten them by 2 or 3 goals in their own ground. It is hard to choose just one mvp since nearly everyone was fantastic, with the exception being Ramires. I don't know if Oscar had a problem and couldn't play for 90 minutes, but i seriously believe that if we had him instead of Ramires we would have been even more dominant. I am sure Jose (who was also brilliant in how he managed this game) had his reasons for not playing Oscar but Ramires is so wasteful it is not even funny anymore. With performances like this one i am really optimistic about our future.

I didnt want to say something negative so early either but those two where a bit of disappointing...but like a friend pointed out that they where pretty above average tonite but the rest of the team was on a completely fucking different level....

Willian wasnt average at all. yeah he had a bad decision with this 4 vs 2 situation, but beside this, I think he was really good and fighting his socks off. mostly, etoo or ramires just were not making good runs for him to pass the ball. he was incredible at fighting though. shoudl have been taking off at the 70th minute, because he was really walking like a zombie (understandably).

Ha. All the pre-match worries turned out to be nothing in the end. Negated City's threats and imposed the counter attacking game plan brilliantly on them. The fact that we looked so comfortable and never looked like conceding (except for the first 20 minutes or so) says it all. Not to mention, their first shot on target came from that Silva FK in the second half. Hard to pick out a MOTM when the team performed like that as everyone did what was asked of them and more, brilliantly. Should have won by more but piss off with the post(!) and Pellegrini was such a bitch to use injuries as an excuse for the defeat and said we had luck to win the game.

And just to throw some stats in...

Chelsea became the first Premier League team to take points from the Etihad this season & first away side to keep a clean sheet there since November 2010 (Man City 0-0 Birmingham).

Chelsea are the first team to do the Premier League double over Manchester City since Everton in the 2010/11 season.

Chelsea beaten Manchester City in their home ground for the first time in the Premier League since 2008/09 season.

What. Like a pigeon...

[Billy. 2,742]

thank you CHelsea for making me eat my words and fear.

Tactically we were spot on today great work rate from all the players, Hazard is different gravy, Matic is a robot.

Was that first or second half? Can't remember it.

Not as bad as that Nastatic challenge. That was straight red by the Laws of the Game. Even in my pub league a player would have been shown red. How Nastatic didn't, is unbelievable. Here in the States, Tim Howard was part of the commentating crew & he complained that he was shown red for being the last man. He wanted to see the same called on Nastatic

Fucking proud of my club, what a performance, incredible. This was proper Chelsea, absolutely loved every second of it.

Everyone in our team was brilliant, but what a fucking rocket by our beast, that was worthy of winning any game. CHELSEA FOREVER!

Haha, you have far more life experience than me Ron, I'll do it your way, sir!

[chelseawise 115]

Hey remember this is a team in evolution, We are adding Mangala, Luke Shaw and Top class Striker this summer. Next year is going to be our year,

Jose is a tactical genius and we need to sign him for 10 years now.

Get INNNNNNNNN!!!! COME ON!!!! What a performance!!!! Just brilliant. Hazard what a game!!! What a player just brilliant from the guy. But my MOTM is CAHILL. Beastly performance. Beast in both thw boxes. Jose got the tactics spot on!!!!

Cech- what a performance!!! 2 great saves. Except for the first minute trouble. 9/10

Iva - what a goal!!! My serbian beauty!!!! Also he was great defensively today. He played a good gamr though he could have done better in closing down kolarov. 9/10

Cahill- MOTM.FUCKING Perfect GAME. Faultless. Could have scored today too. What a change jose has made to this guy. Just fabulous! !! He can clearly fill in JT's boots. 10/10

JT- good solid game. Nothing flashy but just dealt with everything well. Another one who has been so affected by jose. 8/10

Azpi- brilliabt game. Countered navas really well. With the possession navas had, it seemed just the matter of time before he would send one good cross in but he just seemed to be perfectly focused. 9/10

Matic- when u dispossess yaya toure, it just goes on to tell you what a game you just had!!! He is just god sent. The player that we needed and wanted. He is going to be amazing. 9/10

Luiz- another good performabce in the mid from the geezer. That run in the first half was just brilliant. 8/10

Ramires- only one who had a poor game. His first touches seem to be getting worse somehow. Simply can't play in the forward role. And suprisingly dint close kolarov down too. He is just going thru a poor patch. 6/10

Willian - good game. Lost the possession a lot of times in the first half, started slowly but really got into the game. A couole of better balls/choices in the last 3rd and we would have ran away with the match. 7/10

Hazard - its eden fucking hazard, bitches!!!! Another great performance. Can't believe he dint score today. He somehow has to get a little selfish and starting taking shots instead of flicking and all. And suprisingly won headers too. 9/10

Etoo- linked up well. Hit the post. Willian should have passed to him rather than rambo in the 4 on 1. A good match and more than that loved his exit where he was telling everyone to keep the focus. Seems like he is really enjoying himself here. 8/10

Subs - oscar- should have made that asshole nastastic get a red.

Mikel, ba- nothing much.

We could have easily won the match 3/4/5-0. Tactically we were spot on. Simply awesome. City were found wanting. Jose's team selection was brilliant. Thr players responded awesomely to him and we are in the driving seat now. Today just showed that this team has character along with the finesse. Just keep it up chelsea.
