We were knackered and hit by a fresher city side with amazing home form.
In saying that, at 3-2 and on the attack I seriously thought it was on, the 4th goal was a killer and you could see us deflate after that. Oh well, lets see how they go back at our house later in the season - we all know they bizarrely suck away from home (except in munich???).
Them being heavy favourites for the title now probably suits us down to the ground as well.
I question arsene's selections a little on this game. He chose Jack on the left when he's been playing on the right, and our left-hand side struggled badly for it. Monreal has looked great of late with rosicky or cazorla ahead of him, but he and jack just didn't quite have the same understanding. I know this was done to accomodate theo, and probably to add a bit more defensive steel with jack playing over santi, but it just didn't work out the way it was planned. In hindsight I think rosicky or cazorla would've been a better pick.
And man, some of the offside decisions in that game... wow
Chelsea next week is going to be MASSIVE. Plenty of rest til then. Wonder if koscielny's cut is bad? Not too shabby having TommyV come in as back-up though, hopefully he can get into the groove pretty quickly - he looked good when he played the ManU game.
