Firstly, well done Kolo Toure yet again, today him and kompany at CB were world class, personally i would of give Toure MOTM, he's starting to play his best again, i doubted whether he was good enough for us, he's proved me completely wrong, keep it up kolo.
when we don't have the ball the organisation in the team is so clear to see, every single player knows EXACTLY what to do, not a dig at MH, but at times we looked like headless chickens.
today it seemed we set up in a 4-2-1-3 formation, one which mancini uses alot and is a big fan of, today he got it spot on and it worked.
we look so comfortable without the ball, chelsea hardly had any real chances to score, they attacked and then just went back, i can't recall them really stretching us wide open, even at the end on the break a few times.
maybe mancini's plan of resting one too many players backfired wednesday, but today you've just seen how class he is when it comes to the big ones, his formation today denied chelsea thier usual way of playing, when both our full backs are playing we'll be playing HIS type of football, at the moment were not and we still look good.
given time and the odd tweak here and there to this team and we will be playing even better football.
let's not get ahead of ourselves again, but we've shown when we need to deliver and we are more than capable, that wasn't even us at anywhere near our best today IMO and we've beaten one of the best sides in the world.
we won't be scoring loads, but we won't conceed many.
