Was Chelsea our best performance of the season?

[Marvin]

Watched extended highlights on the official site a couple of times now and some of the inter play between Milner, Yaya Toure and Silva really was outstanding.

Newcastle, Arsenal and WBA away with 10 men were possibly better results but in terms of the quality of our play I think the Chelsea game was our best of the season.

The other aspect that was good was that we played for 90 minutes not just 45. I thought after the first 45 minutes when we'd played so well and created good chances and squandered them that we'd get frustrated if we didn't score and Chelsea would be bound to have a good spell at some point, but it was a totally dominating performance

Probably a few factors in there. But I think the extra man in midfield helped, and I'd certainly used that set up away from home

Best performance of the season without a doubt. Solid at the back, dominating and physical midfield, created chances and got some good goals. The only player who didn't play well was Tevez. Everyone else was a contender for man of the match. We pressed very well and dominated the game. We broke at pace and utilised silva and yaya in their best roles.

Yeah, I think our best 90min display

The second half display in the Charity Shield at Villa Park against them was a good 45mins

 

[Blueroses]

Yes! Agree with the top posts. Best 90 min so far!!

Best so far, for sure. The run in started yesterday and let's hope we continue in that vein - a few thumping good wins on the trot, and a little wobble from the scum, and it could still be 'game on' - just about.

i think so, we were completely in control, they barely threatened us, and their penalty was against the run of play, even more impressive when you look that we werent full strength, whereas chelsea were.

Think you mean Aguero, not Tevez. Carlos was only on for 15 or so minutes and scored a belter.

More of the same please.

without doubt, we looked more mobile in the centre of the park with rodwell, milner and garcia who won the ball back quicker and moved it on to our more creative players. i like gaz baz who is great when we have the ball but i'm afraid he just aint got the legs any more to retrieve the ball when we loose possession. more of the same against villa please!!

and i know its not a proper trophy but we battered chelsea in the charity shield aswell.
