I think the result is fair. We did start the game with the intention to get a draw. Eithad was never a good hunting ground for any team so, to come away with 1 point and maintaining the lead at the top of the PL table is good enough for me.

The 1st 2 subs is ok. But i wonder why drogba always get the nod instead of remy? From my POV, this is nothing less than the torres effect we got in the latter 1st season in blues. He got the priority above others. I think giving remy the chance is much2 better.. who knows maybe he can conjure something to win the game?

Yup. Even if it was a draw, we're still leading the table. Don't get too sad over it guys.

Exactly! Hazard was passing it to the back. Terry and Cahill passing among each other. Why not just go route 1 and pump the ball forward? What is Drogba in for? His physical presence, make use of it la! Feel a bit sad that the team were not going for it with 11 vs 10 in the last few second.

i think defensive part still the problem. With ten men, we still conceded.

We can say we happy with one point but with one extra players, we should aim for three point.

I knew we were gonna draw the moment Costa hit the post.

Commentators said lamps just break another record for scoring against us..

Am i the only one feel weird why mou dont wanna use oscar?maybe oscar get punish from last week game?

Lampard interview post match. he looks quite sad to score against us.

He would have wanted to score for us not against us :(

wtf mourinho thinking,zalabeta got send off why they just keep playing defending and keeping the ball..shouldn't be attack or press higher?even after lampard score they all playing just like need a point.wtf

better him to score against us than any other Man City player.

Let me put it in this way, yes a draw on away is not bad, yes MC is not a team that with 10 man can walk over them and no hard feelings that lampard score against us...

but this are the times that Blues need to take the advantage on, these are the points make and break away from them or the rest of the teams to win the league, yes is early but do you remember when JM took over, Blues break away so fast that no teams able to catch up. these are also the times that if the pressure relive over the BPL as there are so many competition.

to me is sad and the team should do better, like control the game when we have the advantage, looking at the goal Blues score, is really take individual to able to get to the assist and goal, when MC are playing so tight even with 10 men.

wtf back to you. did you even watch the game, even with 10 man or not if they play the ball quick to the upfront they still can hurt any team, this is City we are talking about not Liecester.

did you see the size of Mangala? paired with Kompany, their CBs can bulldoze strikers away.

we still got advantage.....

+1

man city defenders god like mode today.
kompany and magala are a pair of beast.

lol chill man...we got a goal after the sending off, we are supposed to see off the game as it was in the 80+ minutes, pellegrini pulled off a mind game by playing lampard...

i cant brain drogba sub. heck, can even brain why is he on the bench. he is a legend. no doubt. but already waaaaay past his prime.

better keep costa. or sub in remy at least. drogba come in just jogging and sepak macam ramos.

Seems like I'm not the only who thinks Managala + Kompany is super strong. lel.

Let's make Stamford Bridge their worse nightmare when the make the return fixture.

I'm sure Mou would've learn something from this match. In Mou we trust, and don't forget, even with the draw, we are still the league leader. And Mou will eventually find a way to break Mangala and Kompany's partnership.

KTBFFH!

The match is over and now we can look forward to our midweek league cup games against Bolton..pls mourinho dont start drogba..remy pls..

Remy to start next game, Oscar and Salah also.
