5-0 at the Molineux. 4 point gap up top and now over to you Chelsea.

The 3 striker line up is working quite well.

Huge game today. Surprised Torres is starting. Would have thought they put Drogba up front since he might do better isolated than Torres.

Played hard, defended very well, and eventually lost to the better team. No shame in that.

Hopefully JT and Ivanovic are available on Saturday. With Cole playing well today and Luiz having been exceptional lately, our defense should be rock solid if those two can start.

Really never understood why Drogba and Sturridge didn't play.

Yes Torres had a great game against Leicester but Drogba just offers so much more in terms of leading the line by himself. He's just so much better at that than Torres. Although I could understand that Torres actually does well in terms of tracking back compare to Drogba, but this was too negative from Di Matteo. Micah Richards was immense today though, absolutely bullied Torres everywhere in every situation they went up against each other.

Sturridge on the other hand has been playing very well of late despite not scoring. If we were going to win we were going to do it on the break, and Sturridge running at Clichy on the break was going to be our best chance to score today. Really disappointed with Di Matteo today, went too negative with the players and tactics.

Luiz was absolutely amazing today, dominated everything in the air and kept Aguero pretty quiet, he had such a good game, everything that went in the box he just cleared. I'm with you 5DOM, if Terry and Ivanovic can come back healthy from Tottenham until the end of the season, I can really see us snatching 4th, especially with Spurs playing so crap as of recent.

I was hoping Chelsea would play Drogba and City play Savic. That would have been awesome!

Thought that was a penalty, but maybe a little harsh

Adebayor takes on the entirety of the Chelsea side alone, somehow breaks them down such that he had two players open in extremely dangerous positions waiting for the ball...and then delivers a hideous cross to nowhere. Pretty well summed up the first 30 minutes of this one.

Scott Parker appears to be the only player on either team awake.
