Guardiola not picking a proper striker bites him in the arse so often, yet he still does it over and over. How has he not realised that Sterling can't hit a barn door?

Boring game, even trying my hardest to be neutral this City style of play as impressive as it is does nothing for me.

This is why it’s silly to compare the Prem League to the SPL just because City are good.

Liverpool will be top tonight. It’s still an extremely competitive league, nothing like Ligue 1 for example.

Can't say Willian's been bad, but he's shown the least of all Chelsea players so far.

I'd be happy to see City lose just so they don't do something silly like an unbeaten season.

You think City are finished because they're one goal behind?

I don't get Hazard as a false nine. It was so annoying last year when Conte did it and it never worked. If you must play with a false 9 put Pedro or Willian there and put your best player in his best position.

Chelsea need to escape the press by playing the ball over the top like they did for the goal, just need better movement from the forwards. Playing Hazard upfront wasn't really a great choice although it's understandable since they need Pedro and Willian to cover the fullbacks.

Isn't this result bad for United from a top 4 perspective? Can't catch City anyway, so Chelsea gaining points isn't good for Utd.

City are going to win the title, them having an invincibles season would be a nightmare. No more broken records, just win it and be forgotten.
It's amazing how rare an accomplishment this actually is. There's been less invincible seasons than there has been treble winners, last time I checked...

Is it the bitterness or is City's robotic style just boring to watch? Great in highlight form when its just the goals, but it just makes me want to watch something.

Yes, I fecking hate City and everything they stand for.

Come on Chelsea. Title race on for us! Well it is a long shoot ;), but I feel some strange optimism from one win haha. Been so pessimitic about us for long so take one week to enjoy it before Liverpool might break it down.

That's probably because he isn't very good.
He singlehandedly ruined a fair amount of good counters with his weird passing and bad first touch. He also wasted that counter from which they scored because of his poor first touch.

City are boring as feck. Fernandinho is definitely on PED’s.

F*ck their fanboys in this thread. Don’t @ me.

I think Liverpool lack the depth to get through the Christmas period unscathed, the fact Liverpool have got to the point unbeaten is amazing but to keep up with this City requires a lot more than they have.

This match is dull as heck. United would rightfully lambasted if we were as dull as this (which we usually are).
