Plus Stefan Savic has been very poor when called upon. The Manchester City Centre-Back pairing will certainly face a struggle against Diddy Drogba who has been in excellent touch this year and even Fernando Torres managed to put the ball in the net this year so confident we can get some points from this game

Kompany is HUGE for City, but Lescott only seems to be good with Kompany.

What weird substitutions and tactics from RDM...

Arsenal 6 points clear now. Welcome Europa league.
 
How can you criticise that performance from Chelsea? I thought it was a good formation RDM tried and it worked well, all the players gave it their all they were looking like getting the 3 pts relatively comfortably until the penalty, then it all changed. I thought David Luiz had his best game in a Chelsea shirt, people can not doubt his defending after that performance. Also thought Mata and Torres looked pretty decent, I thought Chelsea deserved a draw at least.
 
Funny how many City fans have gone from saying "never want to see him in a City shirt again" too "welcome him back with open arms". Funny old game innit?
 
Shame Tevez is a stupid ****** who won't see that Mancini has possibly done him the greatest possible favour by bringing him on in a massive game to keep chasing United for the title. If he's "rehabilitated" in the eyes of the fans that goes a long way towards him getting more regular game time. I really am not looking forward to Tevez and Aguero in City's front line..
 
I see Spurs as a must win game on Saturday. If we win we are 2 points behind them.

Yes, and every professional player spends half his life being conditioned not to do that. But easier said then done when ball flying at 90 mph was kicked right into your face. Its a natural human instinct to protect yourself. Could player attempt to mimick that instinct to fool referee? Possibly. But not like this, from point blank range. At the very least he could have given free kick from penalty area instead.

Don't get me wrong, i think anyone who saw the game couldnt honestly say Chelsea was better side, City was consistently pushing forward most of the game and propably deserved the win, but that wasn't a penalty.

Free kick from penalty area? That isnt how the rules work for handball. It was a penalty.
