Chelsea (H) Post Match Thread

If this is not outright domination of the league I don't know what else is.

What a fantastic week it has been! A trophy in the cabinet and on paper two tough league games we totally dominated and six points in the bag. Our workrate, passing and pressing were superb. When a team with such talent as Chelsea are terrified of us we know we are way above anything in this league. If that last minute shot of theirs had gone in it would have been a bloody travesty!

Sorry to end on a slightly negative note but Kyle Walker has to seriously improve his concentration and passing. A few times we were coasting and keeping possession when his carelessness resulted in them breaking on us. Sort it out please!

I’m still waiting for Chelsea to start the game .

Lots of empties everywhere. I was quite surprised given the game. Maybe the weather had put a few off travelling or trying to travel

THE blocks of empty seats annoyed me today having to watch at home on tv. Only on Thursday I was in a position to attend after a work job was cancelled last minute but sold out on the website. A few empties ok, but whole blocks/rows is galling.

Obviously there were some very good performances from the usual suspects today. Sane just gets better and better. There was one occasion where he appeared in he left back position nicking the ball off a Chelsea player. Thought Pep will be pleased with that. Bernardo really coming into his own. Love this new aggressive Bernardo where did that come from. Going to be some player next season. David well what can you say brilliant. Also though Gundog had a good game. I also thought Laporte played very well mopping up at the back. It just gets better and better. For those Chelsea fans singing about us not winning the champions league watch this space.

I think the answer is - similar to the Emirates on Thursday - Arse said 58,420 seats sold - but crowd was probably 15,000 short.
City say they sell 54,000 + - some stay away. Very frustrating for people like you - who want to go.

To be honest , i have been looking on the planner for tickets for this match for a few months and each time the planner has shown limited seats available in some parts of the ground , but when you click on the part of the ground where seats are supposedly available there is none , i have known this to happen before , but its usually down to a few tickets becoming available and getting snapped up immediately , but with the Chelsea game this has been the same for a few months now , just wondering if its possibly a glitch in the system , seems strange so many rows and seats together are unsold for a big game such as todays.

I have to totally disagree with most who thought Chelsea were crap. They were crap for a reason. We pressed them to death limiting their options and when they broke the press we picked up the runners. Defensively we were brilliant and by the middle of the 2nd half they were knackered.

Possibly the worst, most gutless performance I've ever seen by an opposition tbh. We played well enough, but frankly had it very, very easy and barely had to get above walking pace. Good to see the attackers looking lively again and it's a great 3 points, but honestly Chelsea should be ashamed of themselves for that.

I thought they were a disgrace too, but we shouldn't focus on that.

Some of our football in the first half was scintillating, the best we've played all season, and we probably deserved to be 2 or 3 ahead by half time.

In the second half we managed the game very well, and that was when chelsea were a disgrace for me, they never even tried to get level, waiting for a mistake from us to have a half hearted attack.

We were recently linked with Hazard, if that is how he plays when his manager asks him to do something different, whether he likes the role or not, I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole.

I'd be fuming as a Chelsea fan after that. Perhaps the most gutless opponent at the Eithad I've seen.
