pretty unimpressive but managed to nick 3 points from what ive seen

more collateral damage, Mustafi injured (and suspended), and Sokratis suspended too, Guendoozys dive utterly horrendous
Waant pretty, have suffered more squad setbacks but we got the 3 points. We are looking a bit thin at the back now though

2 sides playing without a striker, might appeal to some people but dull as dishwater for me. fair play to Chelsea, theyve nullified City really well, nicked one and then looked solid since, gonna be a battle to hold on for the last 20 still youd think unless they can get another one on the counter

I see spurs are taking the pool approach, what time do we think theyll be calling for Kane and Ericksen?

Chelsea excellent second half. Crazy how one long ball can change the flow of a game. You obviously need to have quality but that showed again that City are get-at-able

For 42 minutes they were under the kosh, but fair play they took their only 2 chances in the game.

Get back to wanting them to lose now after singing Chelsea songs 😀

Yes they are but not enough teams have a go at them, they are scared they will get a drubbing.
Chealsea got their tactics spot on .

Great win for reds.

Appears Chelsea fan shouting racist abuse at Sterling. I don’t understand what goes through the simple mind of someone to do it

I'm certainly not condoning this behaviour but we must be careful of accusing someone of racist abuse without clear evidence, no doubt the lip reading experts will be out in force tonight.

Sterlings reaction doesnt suggest racist abuse imo.

Police etc are investigating it - Sterling has had that much I suspect just ignored it or maybe didn’t hear it

This shows the mentality of some though

His response this morning suggest he did hear it. And this story contains the 2 headlines he's referring to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46498849

I'd agree that every club has its idiots and football fans at times in the heat of a match can be more idiotic than most. But also can't help think there is a connection between the press's coverage of him. And some morons thinking that gives them the right to shout, what it looks like they did, at him.
