[Gary the Enfield]

Same...but I think Chelsea may play 19th century football.....

I think that they will have to, if they want to get a result.

Chelsea playing a classic counterattacking game to great effect.

Mourinho is ace.

[ChrisC]

Chelsea in front. Playing really well.

[Bruce Rioja]

I've only got the BBC web text to go off but it sounds / reads like a cracking game.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Could've/should've been two up there...

Think they are over selling it. Only Chelsea have turned up so far....

Hazard is a wonderful player to watch in this form though.

And if ever you wanted to see how 4-2-3-1 can really work, watch this first half from Chelsea. Two big lads holding in midfield, physical presences in Matic and Luiz. 3 mobile and interchangeable players in front of them and a quick and willing runner up front.

Tis a good game. Chelsea getting more success though. Should be 3 up really. Just hit the post.

Barca are going to have a field day with this City defence.

Said early on that Toure was inches away from getting onto 'the goal of the season'.

The boy Lineker agrees almost verbatim with your take on Chelsea's formation.

Sounds like Hazard taking the piss out of Zabaleta.

Depends who gets the initiative early on, could work vice versa, like it did for Bayern.

Hazard is taking the piss out of everybody....

[ChrisC]

Chelsea should have scored again.. Should have this game done and dusted. They will get bitten if they don't take another chance or two.

Agreed. Should be out of sight by now. Bit wasteful at times.

Just hit the post again......

[ChrisC]

Negredo off.. don't get that one.

[Bruce Rioja]

His touch graphic from the first half. He's getting about a bit, the lad.

[LeverEnd]

Negredo off after a quiet one. Happens to the best but tonight's not the best night to be a bit off. Credit to Chelsea though.

[BWFC_Insane]

Regardless what happens now, surely this just shows the folly of trying to play 2 up front against a properly organised and drilled 4-2-3-1. City just getting dominated in midfield....crazy.
