    Absolutely stunning performance. Each to a man we were outstanding and Jose got the tactics spot on.

    Taken **** off the media all week and glad Jose got his own back. We outplayed City and deserved the 3 points and the fact everybody can see it makes it better.

    Never saw it coming. Get in!

    Love Pellegrini saying it was a close game, utter ****e. We could've comfortably won that by 3 or 4.

    Fair play to his comments after tbf, didn't complain about not having Aguero or Fernandinho. City had the players to cope tonight, especially at home and they failed to do so and were extraordinarily shoddy at the back too. Fully deserved win by the much better team <ok>

    Great win for you guys. Tactical masterclass from Mourinho. Good luck with rest of season (except when we play you next, obviously!) <ok>

    VERY impressed by that peroformance today. Its days like these, i guess it makes the juan mata transfer look a much better decision. Credit where credits due that was a massive performance bot on the field, and in the dug-out.

    Brilliant performance. Any of you think that Luiz isn't a superb defensive midfielder now?

    Matic was the man. Luiz was slightly fortunate that fernandinho was out but was still excellent.

    When he has played 50 games in that position then we can judge. Looks very promising if he can cut out rash challenges. CL refs won't stand for some of his challenges

    You have to hand it to Chelsea for tonight's performance. It was a real master stroke from Mourinho to play Matic, who made mince meat of Yaya Toure physically. I kind of wish we had signed him.

    Pelligreni was found out again tactically, thinking he can play a 442 against a top side. It just doesn't work against sides like Bayern and Chelsea who pack the midfield.

    I'd be surprised to see Pelligrini go 442 again in a big game like this, starting with the Barca game were I expect to see them go 451 :biggrin:

    Fair play to you lads, I thought you'd pro the bus, but you had a right go at them. Great performance, well done.

    Who saw that coming? Quite frankly our best performance this season and one of the best performances across the division all year.

    Well.... I got back home from Manchester at 2.30am... Worth every minute of the journey back. What a superb performance. Best this season by a mile and one of the best in our past 10 years. To not only stop City from winning let alone a point, we stopped them from scoring at home being the first side to do so since Novermber 2010. Sublime effort from everyone.

    Our supporters as well were fantastic. Non stop all game. Cheering all the tackles and throw ins at the end. I felt like a lower league fan at a Premier league side. We were still in the ground singing away for 15 minutes after the final whistle. Singing all the way out the ground. Held in the area outside n all... Just one of the best away trips in memory. And i'm going back in 12 days for the cup game there with 6200 others!

    Hazard was sensational. Matic outstanding. Terry and Cahill so so solid. Willian is probably still running around! Every single player played for the shirt and gave it their all. And as for Jose... well... this was meant to be our transition season. Rafa left us with a trophy but in a mess because he knew he only had till the end of last season. Jose has come in, got rid of dead wood and players he feels he doesn't need and turned it around. Amazing.

    Came out of the ground with the biggest smile on my face yesterday. That was better than Amsterdam for me. Not felt like that since Munich. I ****ing love this club me. We now have only Liverpool and Villa away from the top 10. We're bang in this title race. WBA away my next away before a return to City. Can't chuffing wait!
