    Of course, but he does manage it an awful lot against the big teams (including us ;))

    Strange that Pellegrini didn't seem to change that tactically though, when it's clear things aren't clicking.

    First time I have seen Chelsea go for it this season against a big club. The Arsenal and Man U games were terrible.

    Told you Beefy City wouldn't win. Mourinho is a tactical genius in these games.

    Didn't help having Fernandinho out.

    I thought it would be tight but I thought City would win it, or the best Chelsea would get is a draw, Aguero or no Aguero. Mourinho is worth having another player on the pitch, but I honestly didn't think he could outdo City at Eastlands.

    In fact, Chelsea never lost a hold on the game.

    That was some performance by Chelsea. Matic and their defence awesome, but William and the sensational Eden Hazard were just terrific. They looked the unbeatable side tonight. City were not at their best, and people seem to be saying DeMichelis was the weak link, but Chelsea just stopped them playing. It was classic Mourinho.

    Well I never. Jay Rodriguez's strike against Fulham gets Goal of the Week on NBC Soccer [sorry, I mean Football].

    Hmph..! And I thought Rickie's goal was slightly better. :)

    I doubt Ivanovic would had scored from where he did if Fernandinho played. Demichelis is awful.

    Gary Neville just talked of Chelsea's win over Man City and said their wins over City, Everton, Southampton etc showed Jose could do it in the big matches, cheers Gary.

    Maybe, but the offensive spray pass from Lambert (the Southampton Saints Offender) splitting the two back-siders from the Fulham cottagers, left Jay Lotsagoals Rodriguez in the left side end zone and the chance to advance horizontally toward the opponents 10.3 metre box, before exploding an instep curler past the goal-minder into the top corner of the end net.

    Crap, his signings (oh) that we were supposed to have been judging him on were filling me of hope of an eventual Newcastle demise.
