    Shohidur Rahman:, external Manuel Pellegrini set Man City up against Bayern midweek to get a point and spent most of the match defending. Bit hypocritical.

    Freddie Drapkin:, external It's Arsenal's weekend. Both Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil scored, and their top six rivals gained just two points from a possible 18.

    Lisa: Manuel Pellegrini's comments smack of Brendan Rodgers' bitterness at Anfield at the end of last season v Chelsea. At the end of the day you have to be good enough to beat the opposition no matter how they set up. Sour grapes me thinks.

    Tom, Manchester: Pellegrini coming out of his shell in recent interviews, very nice to see. Shows his passion a bit more!

    Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard: "It was a great game of football. I arrived on one and bounced into the net and it was strange. The reception I got when I came on was amazing, I can't speak highly enough of the fans. I came here to do a job and it is a special and weird day.

    "I know the 13 years I spent at Chelsea and thee were no bad feelings so I hoped for a good reception. It was difficult day for me at the end because what do you do? You're caught in the middle.

    "It was a strange week, I knew I wouldn't start and didn't know what to expect. What was a win for me today? Maybe a draw and keeping the Premier League close and a reception from both sets of fans that I won't forget."

    Jose Mourinho is asked about Manuel Pellegrini's description of Chelsea as a small team and he interjects with 'many times he says he doesn't speak about me or my team but he continues to do so. Don't ask me about these words.'

    Tetchy stuff.

    Manuel Pellegrini continues to call Chelsea 'a small team' throughout his press conference. Pin out of grenade...

  14. Manager reactionpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 21 September 2014

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is not a result that I want, not what we deserved but the game was very similar to the game against Stoke. Ten players defended their own half, they scored a counter attack and they continued to defend until the end. The result is not what both teams did during 90 minutes.

    "I am happy because our team played in one way, we continued playing with 11 players, trying to score, and with one player less trying not to have another counter attack and concede a goal. I am very happy with the mentality of our team.

    "It is so important to play like a big team, and not like a small team. I would not be happy to play that way. We continue with the same ambition, teams will find it hard to beat us. The team performance was very good.

    "I was sure that if Frank Lampard plays he will score, things like that happen in football. He will be a very important player for us. From the beginning he has been involved 100% in every day, I think that maybe he was not happy to score against such an important team for him. But he is very professional."

    Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock: "We've done ever so well. We should have won the games we've drawn as well.

    "Everton are a good side but we've shown great character. You are going to get nervy moments when you play against the quality that they have but I don't think Julian Speroni had too much to do.

    "They have listened and I am very proud of them. A win gives everyone a lift and bit of confidence. There are not many more difficult places than Everton to go. But we deserved it."

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, speaking to BBC Sport about Frank Lampard's goal against his former club: "I don't feel it that way [that it was emotional]. I feel that when a player leaves another club and plays for a direct opponent, he is not going there for a holiday he is going there to try and beat his club - the one everyone considers the club of his heart, but not any more. Maybe again when he leaves City, but while at City he wants to beat Chelsea. That is the nature of football.

    "I am happy with my team today. We made a mistake with their goal, when you play a top team you focus in every aspect of the game but when you mistake you can be punished and we were punished tonight."

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has said that playing Chelsea was like playing Stoke, two 'small teams' who are only interested in defending.

    Everton manager Roberto Martinez:

    "I thought we started very, very well. We scored the first and were looking to get a second. I couldn't see Palace getting into the game at all. The penalty changes the game - it gives them spirit to believe they can get something.

    "We have to be very disappointed to concede three goals. We conceded three very, very sloppy goals. Those key moments cost us three points.

    "Regarding Tim Howard's mistake [for the Fraizer Campbell goal], you win games as a team. You can always find a mistake - it was uncharacteristic of Tim not to make that cross.

    "It's one of those days."

  19. Manager reactionpublished at 18:21 British Summer Time 21 September 2014

    Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, speaking to BBC Sport: "We were winning the game against 10 men, but the same 10 men had a fantastic reaction and gave everything to try to equalise.

    "When the game gets emotional the numbers are not so important. When the game is tactical - yes they are important. We scored, we had the game seemingly under control, we hit the post but then they scored. At that point the game was emotional and in that period they were psychologically stronger than us and in the end a draw is maybe a fair result.

    "The Premier League is not just different it is crazy. You have Chelsea 6-3 against Everton, Manchester United winning 3-1 and losing 5-3 to Leicester. The Premier League is becoming crazy. This was a big game. When the result was 0-0 I was thinking even 0-0 can be a big game."

    After winning seven home games in a row between December and April, Everton have now won only one of six a run that started with a 3-2 reversal to Crystal Palace. The same scoreline today.
