Looking very good

Ake is injured apparently.

[Stephen Paul]

Very strong team

[gavin]

Clear penalty. Why is that cnut Carragher on telly? Clear penalty at the Sty and Neville tries to talk it down. Sky are cunts.

[Stephen Paul]

need to waken up here

[KunDB]

Very scrappy from, we have been second best and giving the ball away far too often and far to easily. I've been far from convinced by our defending this season, hence the death of clean sheets. Chelsea are dancing through our defence.

Haaland wasted that glorious chance.

Big Pep talk needed half time. Lucky to be level. Great goal by Akanji.

[gavin]

Dunno what you've been watching. City have been the better side and should be winning if Haaland could finish what should be a standard chance for a top quality striker. Phil looks like he should score today. Haaland and Gvardiol have had stinkers. Kicking towards the City fans in the second half, City should win this but Chelsea are dangerous on the break which is as to be expected with Sterling playing.

[KunDB]

We have been second best to win the loose ball which is very unusual. Chelsea clearly see this game as their cup final and are all out.

I suspect they will tire second half of the second half and we will cruise to a win.

Haaland is missing a spark plug at the moment and that defending by Gvardiol was shocking.

We need to control midfield better.

[Stephen Paul]

might see Jack on shortly 

[Stephen Paul]

8 minutes ffs

[KunDB]

Humdinger of a game but we could and should have done better. Defending poor and Dias diving in madness, Kolarov like.

A draw a fair result. Shame Palmer whose as cool as a cucumber, didn't stay.

[gavin]

Sterling should have been sent off for that on Foden. How Gallagher never got booked is amazing. He should have been booked at least four times.

Poor defending and too much giving the ball away from City but we still should have won that game. Never mind, top of the table and still got KDb to come back.

[Stephen Paul]

Ref bottled it with Sterling

Fair result on the day

[Neil Mcnab]

Dias had a poor game by his standards. Letting in four is a worry. A great spectacle for the neutrals.

[KunDB]

Sterling should have been sent off for that on Foden. How Gallagher never got booked is amazing. He should have been booked at least four times.

Totally agree with that.

So many of our players put in a relatively poor performance today. Ederson (should have palmed ball to safety) Rodri (a rare weaker display) Foden (played well in part but just didn't produce the spark needed) Gvardiol (bloody awful) and even more players.

We never played our game. Giving away the ball, second best to loose balls and dreadful defending.

This was not even a good Chelsea side. Even though it is full of really good players.

Kovacic when he came in showed up our defence and helped Rodri play his game. Sadly it was a bit late and a howler by Dias cost us a win.

[reddishblue]

Loved how Haaland scored with his arse.

Thank feck we didnt sign the cheating cnut.

[Stephen Paul]

It was a fair result because we were shit at the back

[Stephen Paul]

up next the dippers

[gavin]

It is a must win match after dropping points at Chelsea. It is not often that we so easily lose control of matches but it does happen every now and then. It cannot become a habit. Chelsea could break dangerously too quickly and easily.

[Stephen Paul]

still think Chelsea will finish top 4 under your what's his name.
