    We wouldn’t be ‘joint top’ with Liverpool if you managed to beat Newcastle instead of scraping a 0-0 bro.

    You're not anyway. Glad to help. But we all need to watch City - just moved into 'Joint fourth' with Spurs - the team to fear. (City that is).

    Four points and Derby were unlucky in the away match.

    It's good for the league to have 2 teams joint top. Fascinating times.

    Recent pathetic draws with Mijdtylland, Fulham WBA and Newcastle but I’m sure they’ll win ALL of the rest. <laugh>

    It's like 'joint top'. You can make up anything nowadays. :emoticon-0142-happy

    I’m sure you’ll make sure we aren’t level on points anymore tomorrow.

    Allegri would be your only option, and I fear he’d have you lot in shape in no time at all. Lampard in!

    Yep, if we are out of top 4 and lose to Atletico then he is a goner

    I think it would have been tricky even for Allegri with no pre season etc...

    You had your chances as a team, but I thought to myself very early in the game, that Chelsea lacked the final touch. You can keep pumping the ball into the box as much has you want, but if the players don't get on the end of it, you will lose against sides such as Man City, by not taking your chances.

    I like watching the energy of your youngsters, but they just don't know how to deal with certain situations. Another concern I have is VAR, are players frightened of even making a tackle now, in case they get penalised by a yellow, red, freekick, penalty.

    If chances were taken, it should have been 3-3 but in reality you got well and truly beaten, and I'm also worried if your keeper is a bit of a clown. I felt he should have got to City's second, so while Frank is looking at the defence and midfield, I'd start with looking at the keeper.

    I’d imagine he’d be in a much better position than Frank, who let’s face it, he’s not very good at his job and has no reason being in that Chelsea manager seat other than his face.

    Think he’s way out of his depth, tactics look poor, given the quality he has at his disposal.
