Well over 18 months under Jose and hardly any improvement in the attacking play, if at all, in big games. Very disappointing.

Decent result.

Not sure if I agree. Last season the team would sit back an try to counter.

This game was a different thing. The team was doing high pressure most part of the game. Perhaps its just me, but I think City was more concerned about not losing than trying to win. They were almost perfect defensively, and created very few chances the whole. I have to admit that after 15 minutes I was really bored with the game, but it was clear that the game would end up 1-1.

City back four were excellent, specially Demichellis and Clichy. Fernando and Fernandinho were also great, specially the latter. City never really created many chances, so I don't know why some people are claiming we were lucky to get a point. The draw was a fair result. Very different from last game against City, when they were down to ten men, and somehow Mourinho decided to park the bus.

Excellent result. 5 points clear, but the race is far from over.

People who're moaning about our (lack of) attacking impetus yesterday need to ask themselves this - how many decent openings did City create, that were not gifted to them by us?

1st half :

Fernandinho cross/shot wide of the post due to Azpilicueta's partial block - after Ivanovic gave the ball away just outside our box

Aguero shot from a pretty tight angle beaten away by Courtois - only half a chance, if that

Aguero shot wide of the post - came after Terry completely missed his clearance from a long ball

City goal - mistake from Matic, Courtois

2nd half :

absolutely nothing of note, unless you consider Milner's tame shot that dribbled wide a 'chance'. Seriously, watch this -

So what, a solitary effort that didn't result from an opposition mistake? In a game their manager described as a must win. Against a knackered side missing 2 of their 3 best starters and 4 of 7 bench options.

I know who should be more disappointed with the draw and the attitude.

Did you sit in MHL? Do you have a season ticket there? And most importantly did you shout abuse to the away stand (kind of difficult when they're across the pitch but still)

I've got a season ticket in the shed upper but sit in MHL for cup games when the away team has the whole of the shed. My seat is about 20 away from the segregation line with the away fans when they have the larger allocation so yes we do give and take a lot of abuse because they are so close.

Might move to MHL next season though

Whats wrong with some of our fans here. We just played on Tuesday and a grueling overtime game at that. Tired legs and all. We played on Saturday, We have Fabregas and Diego suspended. We had four teenage U21 players on the bench as subs, what more did you want Jose to do? Our subs were Drogba, Lotfus,and Cahill, who still managed to play like he was asleep.The score was the best option for us. We rendered all their players ineffective, except maybe Navas, as Hazard refused to help out Aspi. Even the usually confident Kompany was playing scared as Remy kept picking his pockets.

Zouma was awesome. Sorry Cahill. but you need to step up your game and take JT's position otherwise you will be relegated to the bench. Aspi looks still all sorts out of sync. Luis Felipe looks set to become #1. Other than that we were ok. Ivanovic should not be blamed. The man is injured. He shouldn't have played, but we had no one to play that position. He has a hole in his foot, that is basically glued, with a blood soaked shoe to boot. I can just imagine the pain he was going through to just kick the ball, much less contact on that foot.This wasn't the time to be chasing rainbows.

We have a five point lead. Just win our remaining games and the league is ours. I'm grateful to Jose and the players. They did their best, despite the FA, Mark the clatterer and the Manure Pegrishit talking shit half the time.

It was a fair result in the end. Not a lucky one, as some of you have said, but a fair one. Chelsea was happy with a draw from minute 1, while City didn't do enough to win the game.

Fatigue played a big part. Team was knackered and Oscar looked like a guy that'll be sleeping two days in a row after the game. Also it was obvious Jose would play the game no to lose it giving the missings Chelsea have had to cope with.

Not a disgrace at all the way Chelsea played the 2nd half. City is a top team and if you want to match their posession you have to play a high line, just like they do. And Chelsea can't play a high line atm (against big teams!).

Stil a five point gap and now this is Chelsea's title to lose. No FA Cup, only one game in COC and a good schedule in the next rounds. Chelsea can win nine on the trot before United at home.

Zouma MOTM.

I managed to watch all the game in the end. On Sky Go!! Haha! Was sat in the corner of the bar with my headphone on watching the match on my phone. Missus wasn't pleased but fuck it :lol:

Great result. Players were obviously knackered 2nd half. Defended well. Zouma HAS to be first choice alongside JT from now to the end of the season. An absolute beast.

This tie still don't get me excited.

There's no passion or no rivalry like with Arsenal and Liverpool.

I just can't see myself disliking city as much as I do others.

This is why I could care less if they win anything.

I felt the same way before and during the game. I listed a few reasons and I'm still not sure why I was not over-hyped for this game.

1. Both of sides missed key players and it took from the quality of the game?

2. We don't have a proper rivalry with them like we have with Arsenal, Liverpool?

3. The so-called game of the season was not the game of the season after all? If it was around the end of the season would've been different than yesterday?

A different angle of the throw-in decision which lead to their goal. It looks like the ball really crossed the line.
