Be ok when city lose the next 3 anyway, relax we got this.

Hmmm you have a mix match of Chelsea's playing tactics and FSG / the club's direction/investment in players in there. Not sure that they are responsible for a failure in 1 game.

It's always easy to over analyse a basic fact which would have got us the precious point we needed. In a game where you have 22 top professionals within a whisker of each other it comes down to the smallest of degrees. Gerrard was unfortunate to slip and it cost us the game and point we needed.

If you wish to read that there is far more into it than that by all means. I on this occasion do not. They are one of the best teams in the land, you don't win every week (spoilt as we have been or not) and that is football.

You could are argue that Rogers set them up wrong (of which I actually think he did) but it could have meant we were looking good for the point playing on the counter and still had that error see it all come crashing down.

I agree with you that they are not to blame for the failure of one game. But I think our success since January has took the pressure of the owners failure to land any of our targets in January. We could have done with a Konoplyanka coming on for us yesterday. But you're right, I am looking into it too much; it was very unfortunate in which the game turned out and there can be no one to blame. We just have to pick ourselves up and go again.

'The job' Chelsea had to do was win, but their all-out defence only did part of that job - stopping us from scoring. The defensive tactics did not give them the win, it would not have happened without Gerrard slipping and Mourinho did not plan for that, nor was it brought about by his tactics.

So, they did well to stop us from scoring - but they only actually won the game through luck. Their tactics were good enough to get a 0-0, and if it had finished like that, Mourinho would be slagged off for being too negative.

Happy birthday eliot

Why were we having all players forward with our last line of defence being Gerrard (not even a defender) close to the centre of the pitch if we only needed a draw? I cannot understand this.

Eh?

How'd y'know that?
