Predictions on what minute Alonso will be sent off?

I go 65.

Chilwell and James are critical to how we play. Our width is so poor without them.

Any reason why Mount and Kai didn't start? At least they'll be good options off the bench.

Exactly.

Chelsea look so weak when one of these players is missing, let alone both.

Alonso is probably the worst full back in the PL right now. Other than an odd cross and free-kicks, he's an absolute defensive liability.

City do have these random games when they have zero threat through the middle. It was the same v Arsenal and got away with it

KvD looks heavy as feck, starting to remind me Rooney in his last years.
I agree, he’s looked like that in a few games I’ve seen this season. The eye and the execution for a pass is still there, but I think the injuries have taken any sort of drive and nimbleness out of his game.

The early season talk seemed to be he'd improved immeasurably and Chelsea had pulled a huge coup off.

I think you're seeing the exact problems we had at United now. Probably just without the goal total so far.
I had hoped that this was true. It made sense in theory, but *sigh*.
