I'm watching the Liverpool-Swansea game until Liverpool score, at which point the TV is going off. I predict the TV will remain switched on for the next 8 minutes.

LOL Coutinho was so excited to score, all smiles, then his teammates arrived and he realized he´s still at Liverpool.

It´s not over till it´s 2-0, but no Mane, so there is a chance it might happen.

Quality from Coutinho. The way results are going, we need to be careful otherwise teams like Liverpool will be breathing down our necks. I dont think this "second best team in England" nonsense is a foregone conclusion at all.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

A world class GK and a striker like Lukaku goes a long long way. Your result in isolation isn't bad. Just the style of play

Klavan is probably Liverpool´s lead defender. He´s the one actually sniffing out a lot of dangerous situations before they can develop. TAA had a Gomez like brainfreeze, ballwatching.

They're both pretty terrible. A draw vs Burnley at home is an awful result and our performance was actually painful to watch.q

They already are breathing down our necks. Talk of being the second best team was like you say, nonsense.

This is why I said finishing 3rd would be a huge improvement back in August.

The problem is our fans get carried away when we win and lose the plot when we lose.

We're a good side but not as good as City or Chelsea.

Yup. It's either "9 seasons out of 10 we win the title with this form" or "mourinho has already lost the dressing room".

City is obvious, but I don't think there's much in it between us and Chelsea. We lost narrowly away, we may win narrowly at home.

But the rest is bang on. The amount of "everyone is overrated" type comments tonight are mad.

You've been somewhat overperforming so far. Chelsea have been below par.

Yeah the reaction on here is over the top.
I feel sorry for you guys if you ever get a gk who isn't DDG and is actually human!

You're judging on your opinion for one, but also on perception of what the teams' capabilities are.

I don't think anyone who has watched us all season has thought we've ever hit top gear.

Your top gear is nothing like the gear Chelsea hit last season.

They're a different team! It happens from one season to another.

Man City's top gear this season is nothing like last season.

Hopefully our top gear next season is a lot better than this season :lol:

This is a bit simple atm. Hit it towards salah and hope it comes off.

Correct. Chelsea control matches far better than us and have better players.

We've still got to address the lack of quality in our squad.

Klavan saves our bacon. If the striker got his shot off there's no way Mignolet would have saved it.

What a shit game. Odds on it ending 1-1 with a scrambled goal from a Mignolet mistake.

Whoever was in charge of approving the kits for Stoke vs Huddersfield should get a reprimand.

Need to step up and score a few more otherwise Mignolet will cost us again.

Nice to see our players make the most of a brilliant delivery from a set piece from Coutinho
