I think you saw today what City are capable of when they have the players available. When City lost 1-0 at home they had Demichelis in midfield. He's a limited defender at best.
Today with Garcia and Milner we had more bite in midfield. Add to that the fact that Jovetic had more games and match fitness since the last Chelsea game and it's obvious why City improved on their last performance. Not to mention Nasri coming back into the squad.
I think Chelsea have been very lucky against City this season. They were gifted a winner at Stamford Bridge when Hart fecked up and City’s away form was in transition and then they were gifted the worst starting midfield line up that City have started with all season when they won 1-0. Normal service resumed today.
Chelsea are a strong team and Mourinho has done a great job this season but I fully agree with him when he says that City are favourites for the league. We’re clearly the better team.
Normal service resumed !

"The second goal was a Milner-Silva-Nasri move, all midfielders
That second goal was offside"
Really? how do you know that? Ahh the slow motion replay eh?
Well that showed that Nasri was in line with the defenders but a 10th of a second later on the VT and his left arm is off side. His arm played no part in the goal he scored and if you are an assistant referee looking across in real time then it was probably the right decision. TV slow motion replays do not win or lose games and fans desperately trying to discredit goals based on such flimsy borderline slow motion evidence are particularly sad and bad losers.

"You deserved to win...I know its your moment but dont come and give here on Chelsea board"
Yes we did deserve it and ......OOPS!! i am not giving anything on the Chelsea board, i'm on the City board. I have never been on the Chelsea board and never will be, a pity a lot of your fans, like you, cannot say the same about the CIty board.
