Yep, described it as a non event football wise, 2 italian managers and dull. Clearly doesnt understand possession football and 2 top teams cancelling each other out.
Thought it was a brilliant game myself
I would agree that I thought it was an enthralling game, but for the neutral that is looking to see goalmouth scrambles, shots at goal and chances created it would have been somewhat dull a game, and if it had been any side other than City, I would probably have been bored.
It was a war of attrition, and it was always likely to be so, two tactically astute managers with two well drilled and well organised defences meant that the free flowing open attractive football that most love to enjoy was never likely to be on show, but yesterday the result was all important, and we set up in a manner to stop chelsea playing the open game they are capable of, they in turn treated us with the utmost respect and had men behind the ball every time they lost posession, except once :-)
