However, we should be winning the home games against the non top 4 sides and we were 7 minites from doing so but Everton got a top top goal that was almost unstoppable. Everton had pletny of posession due the the fact that we gave them way too much space and also becaise they have a good midfield. This season in the big games (spurs, pool, dortmund, and yesterday) we have let the opposition have the ball and sort of waited to se what they could do before we went for it and im not too sure thats gonna work against City on saturday. we have a better passing team then most in the league so i dont understand why we have gone for this approach this season (some may arue that its an improvement from seasons gone by where we;d attack from the first minute before being hit on the counter).

all in all, a decent point and our lead is now 5 points (4 before the weekend) so we've increased our lead on the chasing pack.

City away will be very tough considering they put 10 past United and Spurs this season but a draw there would be good considering our lead right now but WE HAVE TO WIN AGAINST CHELSEA.
It was only unstoppable because Gibbs refused to close him down. He doesn't yet have that in his game the awareness that makes a top defender. He wont have done himself any favours with the watching England manager
