It was a superb display from Chelsea & they were superbly set up & drilled by Mou. Lets not simplify what he did too much, he spent a lot of time studying City & in particular the way the become exposed when Yaya & the FB's bomb forward. he matched the physicality & set the team up superbly

Pellegrini on the other hand made a huge blunder in altering 2 positions to cover one. I don't know why he took DeMechelis from CB to DM, he simply isn't a DM & it affected 2 areas of the pitch. In hindsight Yaya should have been told to sit deep & Milner or even Nasri should have played
Bill, nasri is still injured, not even training with first team yet. From pellegrini comments Milner wasn't fit for that game, the only option he had was Rodwell. And to be fair to pellegrini we don't know if Rodwell would have been worse than demichelis.

he may have been worse as DM, I doubt it, but at least the CB pairing wouldn't have been disrupted. If the injuries were that bad maybe Yaya should have played DM. There have to be other options at the club rather than changing 2 positions.

I am a firm beliver that after the GK, the CB pairing is the one that should have the least rotation, especially in a game that big.
