Closed Man City v Chelsea

What a great half!

[Strike 7,217]

Great first half. especially towards the end. hazard fantastic again.

[Krypt 241]

Fantastic first half !! Just hoping those missed chances don't come back to haunt us.

[TrippingStep 336]

Don't understand how we could not finish our 4 against one. Normally, if finishes with a square pass to a player just having to shoot in an empty net.

[Clevemayer 764]

lets hope it stays like this, man shitty has plenty of power.

Matic grew into the game, last 15 Min. were very good, yaya who?

Shoul've burried it, have a bad feeling atm about missing these sitters.

Hazard is running riot, torture mode...

[LegenTerry 265]

Is Hazard from our planet.Great great great,maybe more talk to Willian to improve little but simply great

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Calm down you all, 45 minutes to go

[Melanicus 5,208]

Calm down mate lol. Hazard is no Ronaldo, not yet

This game he is out of this world.

[sdrcfc 461]

Probably the best first half we've played all season, really need to take our chances when we get them though. Could easily be three, or four goals to the good.

[Barbara 15,149]

I swear Willian should be banned from taking set pieces...

Willian's set pieces are so fuckin shit

ikr?

That and well... Ramires... are my only complaint in this first half (especially the second part).

Ignore me nitpicking on the guy, I just can't help but Willian's set pieces are fucking frustrating!!!! A big waste! Let Iva cross those balls and chances of something good coming from it are better than Willian's.

[The Skipper 20,593]

We should be comfortably up right now. Shame.

Everyone having a good game bar Ramires' finishing and Willian.

Ramires on the right wing is a tactical master stroke from Mourinho though. Well played Chelsea.

[Beepu 1,714]

We are doing good! Should at least be 2-0 and game over though, so many wasted chances. Matic proves how great of a buy he is.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

[Jase 43,479]

HT came at the right time for City it has to be said. They looked absolutely rattled in the last few minutes.

[Pizy 18,368]

Have a bad feeling that all of these great chances are gonna come back to haunt us.

Willian should've done so much better on that 4 v 1.

[The only place to be 11,313]

That 45 minutes was so important on so many levels.

We've burst this myth of City as some unstoppable behemoth. They're good but they leave so much space behind them because of their high press. If you can disrupt them then the gaps behind the midfield and full-backs just explode. They're just another football team at the end of the day.

Jose must surely have silenced any of the doubters out there. Is anyone missing Mata at the moment? We're creating chances and working as a team and it's beautiful to see. Anyone who was scared of this match....have faith in future.

And Ivanovic....be careful in the second-half but if anyone needs to ask why he plays, watch where EVERY goal-kick goes and how often he either wins the ball or disrupts his opponent so Ramires can pick it up behind. Lovely finish too.

Anyway....big second-half but we've sent a fucking message with that 45 minutes. They can moan about our football all they want but fuck me if pushing it wide to Kolorov every single time isn't just as boring. I love having Jose back.

"Boring, boring Chelsea"

Very good first half. City could have scored early and made things difficult but we came on strong and dominated for a long period. Ivanovic's goal was brilliant. City is missing 3 regular starters and it shows. Dimicheilis has been awful and Dzeko is no Aguero. I have a feeling there will be more goals to come so we need to keep the pressure on.
