Shock defeat to City could cost us title

THE difference in attitude throughout our two losses this past week tells you everything you need to know about priorities as far as the club and manager are concerned.

Shock defeat to City could cost us title

We left the San Siro defeated but with our heads held high as we put in the kind of performance that can easily see us overturn the first leg deficit at home. Indeed, had it not been for another useless European referee with the mandate of not allowing Chelsea to progress in Europe (paranoid, moi?), we may have had a second away goal.

That said, Mourinho knew that he had to neutralise Lampard and Drogba to have a chance, so that is precisely what he did. Ancelotti has a couple of weeks to think about how to oppose that, and deal with what will possibly be a typically Italian shut-up shop.
