Closed Man City 1-1 Chelsea

What scares me the most is that while our defence looks like crap, their new boy, Mangala, is a freaking monster.

[Special Juan 27,421]

Said to my lad when Costa hit the post it would cost us in the end. Wasn't the best from us yesterday but I said a point before the game so will take that.

Frank fucking Lampard......it's alright Frank :blue scalf:

That's Zouma in a year. I hope...

We need to buy at least one CB like Kompany or Mangala. The reason we play defensive is because our CBs need protection otherwise they are shit, while guys like Kompany have no problem being 1 on 1 and often coming out on top.

We could have played more attacking if Jose wasnt forced to protect his back 4 so much.

Furthermore, it seems if you pass the ball back to any of the back 4, they will either loose the ball or just launch it forward. None of them seem to have any composure and ability to bring the ball out of defence. A top top CB should be our next signing.

Completely agree. I was thinking the same thing during the game

Benatia was such a missed opportunity. Zouma is very poor on the ball but he's a real athlete. Would be nice if he pulled off' 'a Varane'.

Well, maybe if Jose would have freaking asked for a CB in the summer...

dont give two fucks that Lampard scored against us, the man is still a legend and always will be. the guy was just doing his job ffs, and lets get real we didnt deserve to win the game anyways we was fucking rubbish.

if anyone wants to have a pop at frank, you can go fuck yourself and while your at it go and follow another team you silly halfwit wankers. seems as you have all forgot what the guy has done for this club, and if it was not for him half of you would prob no follow Chelsea cos we might not have won most of the things we have, you would all prob follow CIty.

SUPER SUPER FRANK SUPER SUPER FRANK SUPER SUPER FRANK SUPER FRANKIE LAMPARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Wow, can you be more condescending and patronising?

Posts like this are as bad as the ones calling him judas.

Fark off, I was there today singing his name with the other 3,000! go and burn his shirt with liverpool fans!

I won't burn his shirt i will sell it to 3000 stupid traitor/mercenary loving fans and make a fortune!

Zouma is not blessed with pace like Mangala. He is like a fucking tank, only slower.

Went to the game yesterday and wasn't it just typical our Legend had to spoil the party. What a legend Frank is and the reception he got from our fans before and even after he scored was special.

Before the game i said i would have took a point at city so i'm happy enough with the result.

Here's the picture i took after we scored

Pellegrini's is coming across as a very angry and annoyed manager right now.

The pressure is building. He knows he going out of the group stages of the CL again, which is not acceptable at City.

You're proving again how ignorant you are by claiming I'm one of those people who thinks Frank is a fraud. I think he is our greatest-ever player and will love and respect him forever.

My point was your blatant disrespectful towards our female members by claiming women know nothing about football. That's not very nice now, is it?

I hope your comment was in jest because we don't tolerate xenophobic language of that sort on this forum.

spare me the left wing politically correct rhetoric, she wasn't offended. she liked one of my posts after i had posted that comment. you have. like most people with to much time on their hands, have taken offense on her behalf when she herself is not offended. one of the people with too many brain cells and little common sense. join greenpeace there's a worthy cause. it's a football forum grow up.

It's funny when he tries to play mind games though. Doesn't even have the charisma to be at least decent at it.

He got sacked by Madrid to make room for Jose. Still hurts I guess.

He's Arsene's stunt double.

[Jase 43,479]

Arsene's poor stunt double. At least when Wenger does it, the mind games have some sort of effect at least. With Pellegrini, nothing. Just comes across as a bitter, clueless old man.

Zouma is as quick as Mangala pal, Zouma doesn't lack anything whatsoever physically.

he's under pressure, 5 points behind his main rivals, the opportunity to claw back points off us missed, taken to bits by bayern in the week, only joe hart saving them from a hiding, trip to roma still to come. he's under the cosh!
