If we weren't so rubbish we could probably catch this Chelsea team in the league, they're not a million miles away if they lose today.

Kepa is such a technically poor goalkeeper

Not blaming him for this but still. That little jump to the right right before diving...
This.
For a second he positioned to the right which proved to be a blunder.

Not sure if a second placed team getting dominated by a first placed team this much in other leagues.

13 points clear. Prem might really be the farmer's league.

No wonder Pep gives pep talks about how he destroyed football

This was meant to be the best title race in years :lol: Fecking pundits.
we’ve had about one decent title race in the last 6 seasons.

BT keep selling Burnley v Watford to me. Feck off. Nobody is watching that.

I know BT have to a force a narrative but still acting like it's a title race is insulting everyone's intelligence.

The media will still be talking up Chelsea's chances after this

Fact is Chelsea are miles off this City side

That was brilliant from De Bruyne but also shocking from Kepa. He should never be beaten from there by a shot that’s as close to the middle of the goal, as it is the corner. He took a big hop to the right before the shot, which was daft as there was no angle for De Bruyne to shoot to that side. Really poor.

What did Chelsea see in kepa to buy him, let alone for a record fee? Genuinely awful keeper.
Had a number of stunning performances in high profile games, young, confident and looked like the prototype of a modern gk

Still yeah, you'd think actual football scouts would notice his technical limitations

It's how they try to generate power to dive to the other side no ? Even if Kepa did too much :lol:
Not like that. You jump in place, not in one direction. Think he might lack leg strenght. Or more likely he lacked leg strenght as a kid and never corrected

No team in particular.
Title race over.

City 13 points ahead of the rest

FINALLY Chelsea are pushing up the pitch. Why didn't they do this before? City, for all their qualities don't have blazing pace up front - especially now Sterling has lost a yard.

City players are so comfortable in possession compared to United.. it's unreal. Cancelo being pressed near the touchline there... Wriggled out easily and almost created a chance. Our players would have booted it out in panic

How much did Chelsea knock back from Bayern for Hudson-Odoi? He hasn’t kicked on at all when there was so much hype about him few season ago.
