Barbara 15,149 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Were in Kompany and Mangalas pocket for the most of the match.Still got a City player sent off, hit the post and almost got a touch on that Ivanovic header that wouldve resulted in a goal; I forgot that he was heavily involved in Schurrles goal to - i like that!not only involved, his dribble and pass to Hazard were pivotal for that goal. Without his quality playing Hazard in that play we would have never scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 He got off to a start that made everyone talk about him, and rightly so. Let's not get confused here he was good yesterday, whilst being very isolated. Said it before and will say it again, he will score bag loads this season because he is exactly what we need.

mikeholiday 209 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I want to see him deliver a hat trick of assists next time. King Didier did that before at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 City's defence did a job on him yesterday, but he still looked lively from time to time. We have to provide more support to him in other big games this season, and I am sure we will thrive throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKY used the word 'Bullied' I don't think that's true, marshaled would be the word I would use because he was isolated because of how we chose to play.His build up to the goal was excellent and he hit the post. If you listened to SKY without watching the game then you could say he was shite, he wasn't, he did a decent job on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listened to SKY without watching the game then you could say he was shite, he wasn't, he did a decent job on Sunday.I'd use the word bullied, Kompany and Mangala were solid against Diego, out to him quick, nipped infront, 50/50 fouls.. some borderline but I wasn't expecting much from Mike Dean to be honest.Decent job seeing as our entire front line took 1-2 extra touches for 85 minutes :blue scalf: Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game on Sky, but they went a bit overboard with their assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to provide more support to him in other big games this season, and I am sure we will thrive throughout the season. They did a job on him because he was starved of both service and support and was isolated until the sending off. We saw his quality in the build-up to the goal and the chance that hit the post.

dee25 1,044 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just checked to see what his turnover stat against City was like - he only turned over possession twice but was dispossessed 9 times! How does one manage to get a player sent off, play a key role in the build to the only goal scored and still manage to hit the post in a match where he was dispossessed 9 freaking times! This guy is straight up gangsta. Sick player. RoyalBlues, The Skipper, Clevemayer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Man City we we sat deeper and only pressed them once they reached a certain point in our half so there was no need for Costa to press alone up-front.

I believe Drogba made similar comments as well. I get the feeling that he wasn't pressing as hard due to injury too. I remember against Burnley he was running like mad just to pressure the keeper.
