People don't want Terry involved in the England squad but him and Cahill would be my partnership for Brazil. Not the first time this season they've been excellent.
And good old Jose showing why he's still one of the best managers in the world.
Chelsea played well but City's main man - Aguero - might have made a big difference if he had played.
He is such a smart player on that 18-yard line that he might have crafted a chance for them.
Chelsea's smartest move was breaking at pace and with numbers when they won the ball back, you could see that really unnerved City because nobody has had the balls to do that.
Think city missed Fernandiho more than Aguero. Seems ludicrous that with a squad like there's that don't have someone better than Dimichelis to put in there, he looked totally lost and Chelsea just over ran the midfield. Even if Aguero had played he wouldn't have seen enough of the ball, unlike Hazard who had the freedom of Manchester with which to cause havoc.
The title race is far from over though. Arsenal and man city will both win most of their games against the smaller teams, as should Chelsea but their lack of a reliable striker may yet cost them. It's going to be a great title race and could well still have three teams in it on the final day.
That was hugely impressive by Chelsea. No doubt Mourinho will get all the plaudits but the intelligence and dicipline shown by the players was immense.
Don't really feel they could get better than that, almost the ultimate team performance. Maybe improve on the striker (Eto) but that was about it.
Yep, man city carved through them a few times they rode their luck early on and defended and played on the break brilliantly. As much as it hurts to say it
Mourinho once again is the man for the big occasion.
Can't believe that City can assemble a squad worth about 500m and end up playing Demichelis in centre midfield. City might as well have played with 10 men, unbelievable that Pellegrini left him on for the whole game.

and if it was this time last week I reckon he'd have gone and bought a holding midfielder. What a difference Matic made with Luiz and Ramires in front of the back four City couldn't find a way through.

Totally agree, him and Willian's workrate was superb. If anyone was wondering why they got rid of Mata, i think they now know.
