Although i'm gutted we didn't get all Three!
Thought we were the better side most of the game even with 10 men.
Red card changed the game but that was Zabs fault he had his warnings.
Mangala was excellent didn't realize how quick he was, was wary about paying £30m but he looked worth every penny today.
Milner was our MOM and has surely won a place back in the team over Nasri, Yaya upped his game today and looked "Interested".
Lamps....Well a strange signing but took his goal well and this point could be valuable come May, he looks awkward being in a City shirt tho!!
Silva...as much as i love the guy he should be kept away from set pieces, his corners and free kicks were awful.
We've had a tough start but with those games out the way with hopefully we go on a good run and close the gap.
Good point

I don't mind reying on GD either, proves we were entertaining and we had stiff competition up to the final game.
I do believe you pipped us to 2nd place on GD, 4 years ago, Did you comment on how lucky you were at the time?

Why was Yaya Toure deployed so deep against Chelsea? Usually we see him making late runs into the box, looking like a threat going forward and creating a lot of opportunities. I thought he had a good game but felt he was deployed too deep to affect the game in an attacking essence.

Yaya's season generally starts in January, strange but true.

Won't be happening this time round for you guys as I think he'll be heading to the ACON.

He's been to the ACON for 3 of the 4 years he's been with us.

To stop your usual counter attacking and because we played with Aguero and Dzeko up top. Yayas forward runs are what leaves us exposed so he doesn't do it as much against top teams.

Might of been different if Fernado had been fit.

Definitely. I'm not sure it would have made too much difference, how deep Chelsea were.

I thought with Milner playing Yaya would get to go forward a lot more. I think you missed his forward play big time on Sunday. Your attack didn't really create much. Pellegrini was very cautious in his approach to this game.

He's been sucker punched by Mourinho before, any more attacking a line up and it would have been the same we usually use and you would have won the midfield.
