Important win for City. But they seriously lacked punch up front without Aguero.

So just one contender then...
Why? Are they clear at the top other than goal difference? Or another Chelsea undercover fan?
Probably "injured". International break and all that.
Didn't they dominate us at Stanford Bridge?
I don't fancy us getting this sort of result there.
City made Chelsea look very ordinary today.
I didn't quite catch the part about City. Could you elaborate.
How was Sterling today?
Massive for City. That's wins against Liverpool and Chelsea already in the bag. They are going to piss the title.
Salivating over City here is disgusting.
Not that he is a very technical player, tbh.
Deserved result. Only one team wanted to win this so they won. Idiotic management from Conte overall.
It is a trick we should use as well, some of our players could do with missing the internationals.
Why? I mean united won as well.
Arsenal did that a fortnight ago, too. This Chelsea side are not a patch on what they were last season.
That's how I get my dose of Pep these days.
Pep set up his team well and stop most of Chelsea counterattacks.
More fear than salivating. Beating City and Chelsea (away) is a big deal.
For once he did well tactically.
City have now outclassed Liverpool at home and Chelsea away. If that isn't a statement of intent I don't know what is. They're not going to drop many points this season.
Even without Mendy and Aguero they looked a very complete and solid team. Delph surprised me with his performance, put in a very capable performance at LB. But then again his opposition was Azpilicueta.

They were not truly dominating especially in the first half. They're just ruthless while our defense got a mare.
We still had chance in that game compared to we pretty much gave Chelsea no chance at OT.
We beat Palace they beat Chelsea away. They have beaten the Scouse and Chelsea now. They will be smug as feck.
One of the worst games I have seen for Chelsea in the Bridge, too.
fecking woeful performance from chelsea. Had no idea what the hell they were trying to do.
Shape was awful. Willian was stinking.
Let the verbal masturbation about city commence.

City? It's being exaggerated a bit.
Because we will set up against them like they did vs City.
Very impressive from Man City tbf.
Matic>Bakayoko.
By a considerable margin as well.

Fear
Even worse. Man up lad, for the love of God embrace your inner John Terry
Did you watch the match? Chelsea at times could not even come out of their own half at Stamford bridge.
City were very good, but Chelsea were really awful. Expected them to do much more. Maybe a bit tired? Couldn't hold on to the ball either. A really strange performance from them. Not sure what Conte wanted to achieve today.
Yeah so they don't hand out "held your own for a half" prizes. We lost and we usually do poorly at Cheslea. City just went and turned them over there. Obviously a brilliant result for them and a bad one for us.
Hopefully their defensive frailties return
Liverpool
different types IMO. Bakayoko more athletic and far better box to box. Matic very good too. Id happily take either
Worked out great didn't it. They never looked likely to get any result.
Do cheques still get stamped?
TBF, Chelsea weren't that bad - completely failed in midfield and sloppy passes, but they're still a really goos team. Probably set-up wrong for the match, should have played the long ball and runners more than their usual game. Have to hope City drop a gear in the winter when the fixtures pile up.
