Rodwell's runs when he doesn't get the ball are great.

Marriner's had a good game, pretty even so far.

Where's that Fry "Not Sure if Serious" meme when you need it.

Did Chelsea create even one semi-decent chance? Typical bus-parking from the FSW.

totally baffling why kun didn't slide one home after milner played him in. just ... why is he trying to pull back from there?!?

Great Sydney Blues flag behind Quinny!

That Hazard dive when Zabba was a yard away was disgraceful!

Early sub on Rodwell? He's not been so bad, not as bad as usual, but he's got a yellow and I'm afraid he'll get another one. Get Tevez in early in the second half.

Some parts of the first half showed what City are capable of. We're playing very diciplinary, kind of like Barcelona. Think we need to be more clinical. Nastasic is as good as usual and Kolo does not disapoint me, yet.

Don't think we have a striker who's ideal for the lone front man role anymore since Balotelli left, Aguero is probably the least suited to it though.

The best suited is on the bench if he has his shooting boots on. I expect Tevez to get 25mins.

Much of the same im afraid for me.

Play well up to a point and then its all one big struggle.

Kuns first touch can be abysmal at times and we rely far too much on the full backs trying desperately to give us the much needed width.

We cant drop points to what for me are a poor chelsea side.

This match is screaming out Dzeko with 2 wingers. Chelsea looks like they are almost giving away the wide areas for free.

They are giving the wide areas for free because we play compact football, they have nearly 10 men behind the ball. Wingers will not make any difference because they'll just cover the wide areas if need be but they percieve more danger in the midfield and are blocking it up. The only reason we are getting space out there is because Zabs/Clichy can't cross for peanuts and they know it.
