So, I am sure I have mentioned before I am a bit of a sad git, watching Chelsea's games a number of times and alas, when we lose I still cant crack the habit. Few things I would like to say. Firstly, This so called wonder tactical full back playing slightly inside causing us all kinds of problems, at least, thats the BULLSHIT Glenn Hoddle had everyone believe during his crap punditry during the game. It was as thou he had never seen Chelsea play against another top side and completely failing to point out City played with their full backs slightly inside at the new maine road last season. We won that game. Hoddle I am afraid needs to do less games as he sounds as tired as a slug making the dash away from the Salt shaker. The team did look tired. Very much suffering from the top midweek game where we played at a very high tempo against one of Europes best sides. When you compare the effort of that night against the weekend game, you can see one hell of a difference. You could tell by the managers words after A/M game how concerned he was and alas, his fears came true. Watching the game again I feel we were comfortable up too our CF leaving the pitch. Who he was replaced with, for me, contributed the most to the outcome of the game. It was the wrong move as we had no out ball from that moment on, which kept the ball returning towards us for pretty much the rest of the game. Mitchy had to be the replacement. This decision, for me, showed the failings of Italian managers who retreat into their shells by becoming defensive. The other decision of note was the starting of Fabregas. No need for me to repeat myself on this... you all know. So what can we say. City dominated the game, yet only scored the one goal. Our defence did pretty well for the most part & but for the wonder goal would probably kept a clean sheet. The loss of Morata was the changing point of the game. They do not have a good defence, but Our manager decided to become defensive allowing the game to drift to City. Dont get fooled by calls of a Masterclass..... We know better

The club didn't want to go ahead with the game, but La Liga and Las Palmas did. In the end, the game HAD to go ahead or Las Palmas would have been given the 3-0 win. Get over it. You just wish it didn't happen so that Barcelona lost 3 points and your bottle job of a team would have a chance of clawing their way back into the race. It must be embarrassing at the moment for Real Madrid to have one of their so called strongest sides ever, yet be 7 points behind a "team in crisis who are heavily relying on one player".

Source is pretty reliable too. We should be fine for Palace and Drinkwater will be back. Still eager for Rahman's return, as I'm excited to see how he'd fair in this wing back role. One game at a time.

congratulations mate

Good luck @Anton Spent the afternoon paddle boarding and at one point over a load of mantarays, now to get ready for the NRL Grand Final.
