How the fuck did Coloccini get away with that shit
FML
Entertaining match but Howard Webb once again confirmed he is one of the worst referees in the PL.
1) Ramires should have been sent off for that two footed tackle
2) Chelsea should have been awarded a penalty for Coloccini's kick at Ba
3) Papiss Cisse should have been sent off for putting his hands on Ashley Cole's throat
+ got a lot of small decisions wrong
Overall, good match, terrible refereeing. Webb should be refereeing in the lower leagues.

first win from behind in 27 months
United go 10 points clear. All eyes on Citeh now.
I certainly do. Although I would do a lot to get Jose Mourinho back to Chelsea.
In times like these, I miss even AVB. Yeah, that's how bad it is.
Oh god it's always the same story against Man city... We gifted them two goals once more and we come away with just one point after outplaying them (albeit without Yaya).
I just question Brendan's reasonning. First of all, Suarez was not his usual self because of his new position. I'd much prefer if he switches Suarez and Sturridge around.
Another thing that bugged me was the substitution when Skrtel came in. I definitely wanted to play defensively to try to protect that 1 goal cushion and Skrtel would have been my choice but not in place of Jose Enrique. We should have removed Downing and matched City's back 3/5 with this:
Enrique----Agger-----Carra-----Skrtel----Johnson

Really disappointed City couldn't nick it but I guess Liverpool kinda deserved a point.Good performance from Sturridge,he was way better than Torres and had he played as many games as Torres he surely would have proved his worth.Torres was the guy who should've been sold,not him.But of course,there were no takers.
Can't understand Chelsea selling Sturridge at all. Must have been some goings on behind the scenes. Also everytime I see so called experts say Sturridge hasn't proven himself until now I just want to lol... He was a real bright spark for Chelsea's reserves, brilliant at Bolton, and brilliant at Chelsea when he came back from loan. He got dropped for no good reason when Torres came and been frozen out of the team ever since. Terrible management really, Abramovic is a farce.
