I'd end the match with this scoreline anyday but we've had chances, not the drubbing some expected really!

12 Chelsea goal attempts to 2 City attempts to my reckoning. A drubbing may still be on the cards if we keep Richards in defence.

well it goes to show then, city 50% scoring to shots ratio chelsea errrrrr about8%

I don't like the way Richards is moving into midfield when they are attacking and leaving a big gap for Zab or others to fill. He needs to concentrate on his position and not go roaming unless we are going forward.

12 goal attempts means fuck all if they are all high wide and not so handsome. Understand the game and stop bitching.

If we played an attacking game, they would slaughter us with Drogba and Anelka. Negative and boring but tactically astute by Mancini. We've played with fire, paid for it, but got a bit of luck to reset the game. Still think it will be hard to contain them, would help if our counters were more effective but all of our forward players are surrounded quickly. Tevez showed just how brilliant he is to somehow score that. Johnson trying but this is a tough match for him, Bellamy... erm, where has his touch gone? Disappointing and a bit lethargic by his standards.

What is wrong with Richards today? Playing like an idiot. We will have to get Onuaha or Toure on if we want to avoid a 3-4 goal mauling in the second half.

You're posting like an idiot as per usual....

No seriously, Richards may be concussed from that earlier collision. He is not the Richards we normally see.

Micah hasn't got the grey matter working today! Got to anticipate things more playing against Anelka

Chelsea dominated possession and we are lucky to be at 1-1 to say the least.

Other than Zabby who has been excellent none of us are in their faces when they have possession and this is what is required to keep them from creating chances.

If we let them dominate in the second half as much we will get nothing from this game.

I hope we can cling onto a point but unless we score at least one more I can see us going under.

lol.

a big change is required, we are far too negative, every pass and every free kick we get is being played backwards.
sit back at chelsea they will kill you.

Not sure Richards has got any grey matter. Usual overweight donk performance.
