Don't think City will be good enough this year to hold off two motivated chasing teams. I'm sure they'll improve in the second half of the season but just don't think these players will be motivated enough to put one more mammoth run. Can see one of Liverpool/Arsenal win the title.

Its unbelievable that Chelsea are below us in the league. They are a much much better footballing team compares to us.

Chelsea have done so well in the big games this season and then they go and lose at home to Brentford and Forest.

Are we allowed to say how much better at football both of these teams are than us?

Great quality out there.

Chelsea have mad athleticism throughout the team, huge threat on the counter. City are still in early season mode, once they get De Bruyne back they probably go into a bit more ball possession stifle style, stop this end to end stuff.

Sterling isn't in the England squad but Rashford is.
Kalvin Phillips plays very little and is always present. I actually thought Gallagher was Irish or something, how is he not being called up when he starts every game for Chelsea now?

How the feck do professional referees miss that handball? Good grief
I don't mind that call. A defender isn't trying to stop a pass/clearance from his team mate with hand. There needs to be common sense applied to handball. I don't like dumb handball decisions like the penalties in our match vs FCK.

I'd agree except Walker's arms are wide to block off the Chelsea player - if he'd just been standing there uncontested I'd agree with you but he was obviously making himself bigger to block off the press.

Forget about Phillips. Not been able a footballer for almost two years but still gets called up for England.
England would have won the Euros and possibly the WC with a good manager. This self-imposed handicap is bizarre.

Did Chelsea ditch their ballboys / ball girls ?

I always feel ours are a slow as a wet week to return the ball :lol:

Foden is shite. Dribbles past first player, and then loses it few times due to poor touch from second player.

taylor’s starting to get twitchy. not many minutes left to engineer a win for city without it looking even more obvious than the penalty.

Yeah, I've watched a bit of Chelsea lately and they're very impressive and watchable in the middle of the park. Lots of movement and creativity, but no one to finish anything. Had Nkunku avoided injury, I reckon they'd be top 4 right now.

Mudryk obvs hasn't yet settled, but most of their players are hungry for the ball and look to progress play. So much better than us, and so weird that we're somehow above them.

Up until Monday Chelsea have looked worse
If they don’t win this it’s 1 win in 4! If this were us the meltdown would be biblical. Chelsea were a figure of fun for 99 percent of that Spurs game as well.
It’s a strange mentality around here, it really is
