Quite happy I put a few City players into my fantasy team 😂🤦‍♂️
 
And they said Laporte wouldn’t be missed...

KDB isn’t that long back from injury. Players have to be rested at times. It’s not lack of respect to rotate, sometimes these things happen.
 
Worst looking Chelsea squad in years, Zouma, Mount, Barkley, and Ok he scored a brace today but Abraham Really?

Lampard needs a miracle to finish top 6 with that lot. I hope he stays a long time though lol 😂

Yes really, even had the audacity to score a 4th for them 😜 😂😂
 
Norwich deserve great credit, they were superb and never rolled over for City.

Others need to take note.
They had 3 shots on target.

They worked hard n countered well, but for me it’s just one of those days that goes for you. They could perform like that 10 times and likely lose the other 9.

100% strike rate isnt too bad👍

Which is why they deserve credit. Many teams would've tried to defend for 90 mins and not lay a glove on City.

They were the same against us, not sure if it’s reckless not knowing when to shut shop or it’s a case of they think they can win by countering all the time, but whilst they score and convert well with limited opportunities, they don’t create enough opportunities to control a game, it’s smash & grab football, and whilst they’ll get the odd scalp, they’ll lose more than they’ll win with that kind of game plan imo.

Yea but most teams lose more than they win anyway so that stat isn’t particular helpful.
 
Did anyone see the Chelsea match on MOTD? Alan Shearer congratulated Abraham for fouling the defender during his headed goal.
Forget the fact that the 'refs' using VAR didn't spot it, having pundits actively endorsing it is shocking. Kids will think it's OK now.

I think in this case Norwich worked hard and each player gave 100%. The tactics they used is another debate.

Not many top sides create 3 good chances against City or control the game nevermind the likes of Norwich.

If Norwich sat back and shut up shop, City win that game. As it was they never and they deserve great credit for that.
 
It seems Pep has given up on winning the league this season with his after match thoughts. 🤭

What a start to the season Abraham has had. I thought he looked excellent against United first game of the season and has kicked on brilliantly - 7 goals in the PL in 4 starts, scoring them at 47 minutes a piece, and he's only 21, has huge potential, think he's going to be very good for Chelsea. Rate him highly from what I've seen.
