Match thread: Chelsea F.C v. Manchester City F.C

[inbetween]

Can see us easily nicking this, just need a decent enough chance. Great defensive wise just needs that finishing touch.

good half blues i think richards positional sense is his downfall and milner isnt doing out but apart from that we are looking solid.bring johhno on for milner and we win1.0

It's extra time in the Old Firm derby with Vladimir Weiss having just come on.

 

[MCFCinUSA]

quite pleased with that overall - we had some very good patches of football and possession, although we let them get a hold of it in the last two thirds of that half.

only the referee has disappointed a little; I hope he doesn't turn into a homer...

 

[Ntini77]

Decent first half.

No one really playing badly, we just need to get Silva involved more.

 

[baldybouncer]

Hardly getting ripped apart are we! Sure some people on here will be disappointed that we're not!

If we want to try and grab a win, Johnson on for Milner. If not, well you get the tracking back by Milner although he's on a yellow.

I'd go with getting Yaya off, Moving Milner into his role as he has been immense today and then letting AJ tear Cole a new one down the right

i'd go with that for the last 30

kompany and Lesscott have been worldclass, glad to see Kompany have been given the armband for this one.

 

[Lucky13]

Good half for us , more composure upfront and we can win this.

Anyone know why Balotelli didnt start?

SuitcaseGate.

Just wish Bob had thrown Ballotelli's OWN suitcase at him.
