We know what Neville does when he screams at a Chelsea counter-attack goal.

this team has stopped a hell of a lot of top strike forces. sturridge, suarez, lewandoski, reus, bayern munich etc etc. this team can do it, and its time you actually gave them some credit. Our defence is a hell of a lot better then chelsea's yet city still haven't scored

If you factor in the mistakes i.e. no penalty, 2 disallowed goals wrongly, and their wrongly allowed goal, it would be a draw.

When it went to 4-2 our players just gave up especially with their exertions and we completely lost our shape.

I don't disagree they are great attacking. But if you watch a rerun of that game, they got every decision and we lost every decision against us. The biggest reason if you watch it again was that in the first twenty minutes very few decision went their way with and correctly. Their crowd started baying.

And when the linesman gave one decision I think on the 20th minute - funnily enough a wrong one against us - their fans sarcastically applauded. Since that, not a single decision went for us.

denied a penalty, two incorrect goals ruled out for offside, one offside goal allowed for them. so that takes out the 3 goal lead and potentially adds one to our favour. city were the better team on the day, but if the referee had got the big decisions right, they wouldn't have won by 3 goals

Out of the top teams, they only have to play Liverpool away, every other game is at home for them.

I think you have a point. But out of the two, I fancy Chelsea to drop points more than I think City would drop points.

So in my opinion, I think a Chelsea win would suit us better.

Plus, he's everyone's mate.

Some still haven't realised Hart is an average keeper, so hopefully they'll keep eulogising over Kompany while he keeps stinking it up on the pitch.

Belgium's defence is a bit of a concern really. Vermaelen, Kompany and Vertonghen are all three good but with big flaws in them.

As you say though, it gets washed away because undoubtedly Kompany has often been dominant in the 'big' games.

Totally agree. If you watch a rerun, the biggest reason if you watch it again was that in the first twenty minutes very few decision went their way with and correctly. Their crowd started baying.

tonight is just further proof that Mertesacker and Koscienly is the best central defence partnership in european football. Koscienly is hands down the best centre back in england
