Needed to the show league we mean business and all we showed them is meh .

Oscar really not doing the business pretty quiet would have subbed him at Half time. Cuadrado has not show me anything and cannot understand the signing or the fee( hope he

Proves me wrong ).

Looks like we are going to limp over the line to the title rather than win in a blaze of

Glory , if we don't win the league expect Mou's head on a Russian plate.

I think their penalty was soft and we should have had one. We also came up against a keeper who should be England's number one imo and on another day we could have won quite comfortably with those chances he saved.

On reflection, if City had won yesterday, it might have helped raise the performance level. But we're better off than we were at the start of the weekend and a win in our game in hand would put us nine clear with a superior goal difference, so no over-reactions or negativity from me.

We looked a team short of confidence. I am pleased we found some semblance of attacking nous in the second half but its just too bad we haven't taken any of the incredible chances we created. Southampton are a very good defensive team and we opened them up time and again, had it not been for Forster we probably would've won comfortably.

Good to see Costa score again he looked okay today, needs to be properly supported. Oscar once again worked his ass off but didn't produce any quality we need to cut teams open, that's all fine and good when Cesc is pulling the strings but clearly today that wasn't the case. Had at least two chances where you thought surely and put them both into the keeper.

Cesc has been awful lately. When we were clicking WAYYYYYY back when he was the heartbeat in the middle of the pitch, he hasn't been anywhere near good enough offensively and when that is the case his lack defensive contribution becomes more glaring. I'm actually starting to believe the claim made by Barca and Arsenal fans who say he becomes a passenger in the second half of the season. Hard to argue against it given what we've seen.

Hazard wants to win the title! whenever the ball was at his feet he tried to be decisive! Loved watching him today!

We struggle with pace. Brana was caught out of position more time than I care to count and with Cahill as cover, who also lacks pace, we look susceptible to counters down that flank. The aerial threat Brana carries is not exactly there anymore and we aren't really finding him on goal kicks to start attacks. I think we need to give Luis a run in the side now... play Azpi on the right and see if we can close off the large fissure on the right side of our defense.

I'm still content, I feel we will win the title but we have to build on this second half performance and play fearlessly.

UTD 3 up against Spurs.

We cannot score against girls these days.

Something is amiss.

A lot of unnecessary intricacy in our build up, no long range shooting. Only Oscar tried a shot deep in the second half and that was n't long range.

We still have liverpool Utd and Arsenal too play, who are all in their best form of the season!

Can easily drop 6 points or more in them!

people are getting carried away, City or Arsenal can easily still win it

City are useless.

Dunno about the other two. Could pose a threat.

We need a mini revival - two months are left. If it is like last season's last two months it does n't look good.

United by the way are next year's champs 100% the way things are now, unless serious reinforcements are brought in by Chelsea.

We still have a game in hand.

And to borrow from our manager: "Why are you so pessimistic in life? Its more difficult to succeed! You have to be optimistic. Maybe you are a guy with great potential and you don't move on because you are pessimistic. Be optimistic!"

pathetic ! at this rate we will lose Premier league too. What was all the celebration about City loosing only to wake to this shitty result ?

And to borrow from our manager: "Why are you so pessimistic in life? Its more difficult to succeed! You have to be optimistic. Maybe you are a guy with great potential and you don't move on because you are pessimistic. Be optimistic!"

these days its all talk and no action !

The irony of that quote. It applies perfectly to Jose's big-game approach.

I'm absolutely fucking appalled at our team right now!

Mourinho came straight out, claiming that we need to focus on the league after we were knocked out of Europe by PSG.. You'd think from that the players would up their game, BUT NO!! I watched that game today and they simply played like they did against PSG. No passion, no creativity, no communication. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Not to mention, Mourinho's tactics were completely wrong again!

Southampton could have EASILY slipped a couple of goals past us after their penalty by Tadic. Honestly, It's the first time I've seen our defence fall over on its feet at Stamford Bridge this season, and if we play like that against United and Liverpool when they visit us, we're seriously going to be in trouble!

And let's not forget our away clash at Arsenal, who are looking rather incredible at the moment, and we can't let them get a sniff at a title opportunity. I really don't want to imagine them snatching away the title right at the death having been this far away from them on points all season. The Arsenal fans will never shut up about it!

Give credit where it is due to Southampton for playing well defensively and giving us a game, but honestly, I am sick of us wasting perfect opportunities like the one that was clearly served to us on a plate today. It's not the first time it's happened to us.. If it was any other team in our situation, they would have bitten their hand off and won. BUT CHELSEA ALWAYS SLIP UP!!

If certain things don't make sense I'm sorry... if my analysis is late, I'm sorry for that as well... I'm just pissed off!

One thing I'm not complaining about... 6 points clear, game in hand!
