Official Chelsea v Manchester City Match Thread

Why the hell do we even have a third kit if we don't use it? Bit annoying the colours on the tv for me at least.

I'm struggling with the contrast between the kits and it might be one of the reasons we're giving the ball away so much. Sky blue is less of a colour clash than a striped kit with two dark colours.

Let's not turn into rags and blame our shirts.

Hehe, yeah we do have different socks and I don't think the players are having all that much trouble with it. Should be as big of a problem for Chelsea anyway in that case, right?

we might aswell go for it now, rattle them a bit. bring boj on 2 up front, have a go. i think we will get a goal or 2 that way. nothing to lose, considering we're losing anyway

Just shite, we have accepted defeat already. The goal was a total farce, school boy stuff and we simply do not have the players yet.

80% of the squad has to be shipped out over the next five years, we need quality bringing in, we need players that don't switch off on corners and concentrate for 90mins, I think only the top european players can do this.

Watch Richard Dunne defending set pieces it is comical.

It will take five years just to bring this squad up to top 6 standard we need to realise that.

Come on boys, let's see some fight in an away game.

Only really seen it at Blackburn.

Robinho needs to stay on the Bench!

get Garrido on for him

boj for 30 mins?

GREAT thinking! Bring on a mediocre defender for one of the best attackers in the world! We may get an equalizer then!

am i alone thinking that cas is having a decent game? won the majority of his headers, strong, not had any clear cut chances but he is playing on his own against ricky and terry

Hes doing ok, defence are doubling up on him. but when he has done the hard work his last touch has let him down

Superb Ned

i agree to a certain extent. he is showing some strength but against carvalho and terry he has to be a little better on the ball. He's got a goo turn on him but his shooting isnt the greatest. What i wanna know is...when the ball came to robinho on the edge of the box and he took that shot across goal, where were the stepovers and the tricks? he just seemed to take a random pot shot and thats not the type of play he is used to. Essien in midfield is the difference. If Vinnie or De Jong were in there would be more pressure on him. Just hope we can turn it around.
