You know Mourinho loved that Costa/Kompany battle. Such a good fit for that team.

I could go back and do a "drinking coffee" emoticon to a post about Spurs being underrated, but I mean, really? How sad would that be?

Pretty sad.

Not as sad as giving up 3 goals @ west ham, but sad.

And where on the sadness spectrum would losing 12-0 over three matches be? You know what? Don't answer that. The answer is "real sad".

 

[Sinn Fein]

You know what is sad? 12-0 and Liverpool are still behind Spurs...just how long does it take a Liverpool fan to stop re-living last year?

Spurs were pathetic today - the whole lot of them - you won't get any arguments from me on that.

City look like the better team right now though neither team threatening much.

Lampard on the bench for City today.

City's grit players have a smidgen more quality on the ball than Chelsea's, IMO.

 

[SmoovySmoov]

I'm starting to wonder if Steven Gerrard might be the central defender that Rodgers needs.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I love it when a Chelsea player gets hurt.

City competing in a hack-a-thon today. Willian has had 6 fouls committed on him in the first half alone. Ridiculous.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Very cautious. I like boring Chelsea in this game much better than the team that gave up 5 to Swans and Everton the past two games.

Mike Dean may have confused them a bit - letting it go early then 6 cards. Those yellows could be big. Perfect game for a late poacher.

Chances TSO started Schurrle in this game were always zero. It's a Willian and Milner kind of day.

This is the Chelsea we are used to.

Let's see if Riley sends someone off.

If it stays drawn past 70 minutes or so, Mourinhos first sub will be telling. He's got Oscar or Mikel.

Yaya still very active for his age. Tracked back twice to dispossess Hazard and then nearly draws a penalty in the box vs Ivanovic. Still has some legs left in him.

 

[The Gator]

Two times on two minutes that Hazard has been caught from behind and lost possession to Yaya.

Pass the ball?

 

[jonessed]

That could have easily been a penalty.

 

[Native]

Oh boy. Floodgates are about to open.

 

[jonessed]

Chelsea isn't even trying to counter-attack. They are in full park the bus mode. Sitting back very deep with 10.

Hopefully the subs help

Costa 1 Zabaletta 0

 

[The Gator]

Red for Zabaletta

 

[jonessed]

That's complete crap.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Perfect counter.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Teams that played mid-week - did not fare very well this weekend. So far, the only to win this weekend, lost mid-week...

 

[Native]

BOOYAH

 

[Native]

Masterful counterattack by Chelsea. No wasted passes and constant forward movement. Hazard with a perfect thru ball to Schurrle.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Stupid foul from Zabaleta....deserved second yellow.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Perfect counter.

Really pretty.

I was shocked many people picked Everton in the survivor pool for this reason.

gfy

 

[Steve Tasker]

Missed the United game this morning...looks like there's a Match of the Day at 10:30 on NBCSN...will that have extended highlights?

 

[Native]

Say it aint so. Lampard coming on.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Lamps coming on against Chelsea just feels wrong.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Schurrle really is Chelsea's James Harden.

 

[Native]

Schurrle really is Chelsea's James Harden.

Love his movement. He does that time and again which allows Cesc, Hazard and others to find him in favorable positions.

 

[Native]

GTFO

 

[The Gator]

Lol you can't make this #### up

 

[jonessed]

That's awesome.

 

[SmoovySmoov]

Wow.

 

[gianmarco]

[Steve Tasker]

Lampard>class act

 

[Native]

Love me some Frank Lampard

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Nobody arrives late in the box like Frank.

John Terry does, but it usually gets him into trouble...

 

[T Bell]

Please hold this scoreline so I can hear Mourinho pout afterwards. Please, God, please!

 

[gianmarco]

Lampard almost puts City ahead. The universe might have collapsed.
