Chelsea 4 goals city of Manchester 4

Agüero injured, Chelsea win.

 

[SALTIRE]

Not so sure on that Bilo, City have plenty of others currently who are putting the ball in the net.

Should be a belter of a game.

And it's not like City have been clawing 1-0 wins. Sane, Sterling and Jesus are all in form.

Biggest test of the season so far, by a long way. It would have been good to have Sergio available, but I think City will miss Mendy more. Delph played well midweek but the way Mendy uses his pace and first-time crossing to open up defences has been an important part of how City have been playing.

 

[SALTIRE]

Very impressed with City today, they've smothered Chelsea and didn't give them a sniff.

 

[silkyman]

Big win that. Should have been more comfortable, too. A bit of a worry KDB going off.

 

[Humongous Fungus]

Yeah Aguero, KDB and Mendy being injured could ruin your chances.

 

[silkyman]

KDB didn't look too bad and with an international break, hopefully he won't do anything silly while with Belgium. Aguero could be back for the next game with a bit of luck.

Delph is really looking excellent at full back.

Beaten three of the top six with an aggregate score of 12-0. I'd have taken that if you'd offered it me at the start of the season. (Although I'd probably have predicted Everton as one of the top six head of Watford!)

Bloody hell, dead in this section of the forum isnt it?

Chelsea are going nowhere this season. Just like against Atletico, Kanté played higher up than Fabregas and had next to zero impact on the game. The Morata sub killed the whole team and I understand that losing your CF is bad but why bring on Willian, a right-winger, and not Michy? Doesn't make any sense.
Chelsea look like a defensive side with very little attacking threat going forward not helped by the combination of Bakayoko & Kanté (and Fabregas is finished, he shoulnd't be starting Premiership games anymore), two very defensive-minded midfielders. Why did they sell Matic again?

Good win for City though. I think the league is going to Manchester this season. Not sure which side though.

The non-league fan is right. It is just not normal to have so little interest in a game that promised a lot on paper (even though it offered very little).
