6th? Essein

Malouda kit number is 15 or 14?

One thing though, I don't think pushing Terry's case to July will do anyone any good. Disturb them during their breaks only.

Dont live in past la, we can love Jose for his past achievements, but please support our current manager instead of asking for another one to be installed.

With this current squad, I don't think even Jose can do much with it.

Yes, we can blame AVB for not bringing in a lot of new players during last summer, but won't it disrupt the squad harmony? If AVB had bought a lot of new players, I don't think players like Sturridge, Ramires would had been given chance to show their abilities, then get shipped out like Scott Sinclair.

Give AVB time to settle down into his style of play first. Last season, who'd expected Man City would had played attacking football like this season

Hope to see a attacking game tonight.

Referee reputation not important, as long as that day referee performance is good.


Hope Sturridge can start firing in goals again.

Zzz... sad that Bertrand didnt get to start.

Anyway, lineup already out, so might as well hope for the best now.

AVB has only 2 reasons for not starting Bertrand.

1) He think Bertrand not good enough.

2) He thinks since Bosingwa is arguably our fastest player, should be able to cope with Valencia.

Hope his plan doesnt backfire.

Left Wing Malouda would be good, no more CM Malouda please.

Beginning of the game, we all said draw good enough.

After watching the game, really disappointed with a draw.

Decent performance, next week hope Suarez terrorise the shit out of that diver.

Cukuplah dengan AVB, what did he do wrong? Torres link up play good enough. Malouda put in a decent performance.

3rd goal is defenders panic. Adui Great run by Hernandez to near post anyway.

Essein best midfield player la, should had just kept the team maybe.


Cech/Essein best player for us tonight.

Btw, why Bosingwa only good when he don't play RB? Can ban him from RB and only use him at other position?

Ok...Ok... enough with diving rant lol. Game over already, cant do no nuts about it.

Once Ramires back, midfield of Ramires---Essein---Mata should be used every game. Romeu slowly turning into Mikel "slow-passing" style already.

1 point against Man Utd is decent enough. We lucky Webb didnt give Man Utd one penalty in first half anyway.


Torres brilliant outside the box, pretty much panic inside the box everytime. Really hope he can start scoring again.

This game reminds me or Arsenal 4- Newcastle 4.

Both game also saw deserved winners ruined by sad consequences.

Yeah, spot on. It's normal. Wait till tomorrow for proper analysis of game. Emotions take over for at least 12 hours before we start to analyse it properly. It's normal.


Btw, that commentator , Craig Burley, I know he former Chelsea player ( never saw him play before though), but he really anti-Chelsea .

A lot of games where he commentate, never ever say good thing about Chelsea. Tonight leading 3-0 also keep saying Man Utd were the dominant team.

Erm, anyone here feeling that none of our players played badly tonight? Even malouda was decent enough for me.

My only complain is when we were 3-2 up, Iva, Luiz and Cahill keep hoofing up long balls. Was frustrating to see that. Our backpass/sidepass no penetration tactic could had been used instead since Man Utd would had left space behind since they chasing the game.

Guess AVB's plan to put Bosingwa did worked. Tough luck for Bertrand. If it was vs a lower team, he might had a chance to start instead.

Watch closely past few games and you can notice even Mata don't pass straight to Torres. Quite a few times Torres made a run, but Mata just opted to dummy, then pass to the wings/pass back.

Didnt AVB said Lampard starts training today?
