Chelsea are out of it today after just five games.

if we were able to claw back 8 point decifit with 6 games to go, surely 11 points in 33 games is doable too?

[MilnersJaw]

frustrating game but worth the pay off for the kid.

kevin webster looks good, but nasri can't fill in for silva.

[KinkyKinkladze]

6 consecutive clean sheets on the bounce, equalling the club record I believe.

[Dubaimancityfan]

That's a huge win

Indeed it is. Away and without Kun and Silva,against 2nd in the table and a kid scoring. It cant get better than this !!

Certainly not but I thought he contributed more than most today. He retains the ball very well. Him and KDB just getting to know each other.
I didn't have a problem with Nasri today.

de bruyne has a messi like footballing brain. love him already.

[littlebig]

Massive goal, delighted for the boy.

Chelsea look dead and buried already! Arsenal are now are greatest threat... Arsenal.

he provided some top class through balls today.

[South Stand Balti]

Fantastic win. I would have taken a draw all day long with the injuries we have. Proper sweet to dump on Psrdew in the last minute. I hope we sell some tickets for Juve after that.

Not the way Chelsea play. If they played like us then they'd have a chance but their negative shit won't see them getting 4 wins more than us in 33 games.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

11 wins in a row!

Every stat is against them. We were helped by the filth imploding plus the six pointer against the shite.

Not forgetting that they have real problems to sort out before even starting to mount a comeback. Then there is the 'resting playing factor. Get a big lead and we can rotate while they really can't afford to.

If we don't win it, somebody other than Chelsea will:

Of course, but that was when we were all doing fairly well for an entire season.

It is still early days, but we look formidable and Chelsea look lost, and vulnerable.

They have the ability to turn things around, but if we maintain our focus they will struggle to recover.

The same was said of us last season but we never looked like we would challenge after the New Year.

One dampener was seeing Sergio limping away from the ground. Tuesday looks unlikely. Sterling probably back and maybe Merlin as well. Here's hoping.

Just to be clear, was he limping away from the ground to the coach or do you mean limping off the pitch?

He stayed in the dugout with an icepack on his knee. Hopefully not too bad.

[blues2win]

Limping from the ground to the coach unfortunately. He may have been ultra cautious but it didn't look good for Tuesday. I'm not suggesting it's a long term injury though.

[sheblue]

Great three points. Won't be many more as hard won as those.
Kelechi top boy.

[nottsblue]

That's the stuff champions are made of.

Thanks for the update. MP has said he hopes Aguero will recover within the next hour....whatever that means. Sergio has just tweeted he does not think it is too serious. Fingers crossed. I'm not bothered if he does not play against Juve as long as it is not long term
