You're reasoning that both teams win every single match except that one at Anfield, which one must lose. It just won't happen like that.
We are a gargantuan winning machine these days so expectations change, a draw with Chelsea used to send me on a 24 hr celebratory bender, now it’s a 24hr commiseratory bender.It's really beginning to wind me up that some posters on here and some City fans in general just expect us to turn up and steamroller every team and when we don't they just throw their toys out of the pram.
Pep and the players are human. They make mistakes. But we've seen time and time again with this team they correct their mistakes and that's why we've been so successful over the he last 7 years
Love a good puppet fight.We didn’t lose Kermit brain and expressing opinions are what forums are for, praise when good, slag off when bad
Never noticed him at the match to be fair.I was watching the highlights, and that Palmer lad looks pretty damn good.
Walker is lucky Sterling didn't score a hat-trick on his head. Only Pep knows why he's still playing if players compete for their spots and are playing on merit.
Correct. I don't understand the blue moaners on here. We have a striker who's been injured for two months and still tops the Prem scoring table, but some still moan. They expect a team of robots playing absolute perfection every match as though the opposition don't exist. And talking of the opposition, we're the fourth highest Prem net spenders of the last ten years and seventh highest Prem net spenders of the last five years. Two trophies in the bag and three more to play for, but the attitude of some fans is seriously strange.JS didn't play today....
Na sorry Rodri was class from day one, I don't know where this notion that he was shit in his first season came from. If he was shit in 2019/20 then so was Gundo because it was the double-pivot that was critized and they were both part of it.Blues were saying exactly the same about Rodri, I suppose you’re one of those numpties that can’t give new signings a season.
Some seasons we walk away with it and some seasons we're in a dogfight. This is a dogfight season - instead of dreading games (as you say you are) embrace it, enjoy it, it's what being a fan's all about. We're in the midst of our greatest ever run of success. Look at it this way, any team on their day can beat us or Arsenalhole or the team from the club with the most disgraceful history in this country, but for the last thirteen years there has been no team capable of outplaying us.Just fills me with dread knowing that only a win at anfield can put us back at the top.
I've said it all along since our shitty form pre Xmas. Dropping points in the Liverpool, Spurs and CP home games was fucking criminal. Inexcusable in parts because we held the lead!
Ahh it pisses me off so much. I feel like dad who's angry at his kid for leaving his homework until the last minute despite having all term to get it done!!!
But... you can't go back.
"Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it"knew it wouldn't take much for a meltdown on here.
should we have won? Yes.
Did things not go our way? Yes.

Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it
We have two trophies in the bag and three still to play for. Our striker has been out for two months and still tops the scoring charts. We had the chances yesterday and the conditions were a great leveller - we play the ball on the deck most of the time but couldn't do that yesterday to any effect. On another day, some of those chances go in. The crowd was magnificent yesterday - the team couldn't have tried harder.Pep's 'square pegs for round holes' tactic will bring us no trophies this year. When Erling was on fire last season and was scoring for fun, he was subbing him after 60-70 minutes. This season when we are struggling against defensively dogged and able counter-attacking team he is persisting with him although it just doesn't work.
Don't blame Kyle for their goal at all, as always left on his own to cover 250 square meters of the pitch guessing whether to cover his CB unable to track back or to cover a player running behind.
And Phil hugging the line on the right, that really worked so far!
Alvarez at AM alongside KDB will never click against anyone decent...it's simply a bad plan.Pep tries new things, they don't work initially, people decry his stubbornness, and then things click.
It was the same last season when Pep tried new things, we suffered bad results, then Stones replaced Rico in that hybrid role and we didn't look back.
We'd have won last night comfortably IF one from Haaland (especially), KDB and Foden was his normal self. All of them plus Alvarez had a night to forget.
It happens, we move on.
We had chances ourselves in the first half. It wasn't a completely one sided half. All it was a masterclass in counter attacking football from Chelsea. Haaland squandered plenty of good chances even when we were playing poorly."Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it"
If Chelsea had a top class striker they would have won the game by half time.
And only a brave and quality save from Ederson kept us in the game.
Chelsea - megabillions club parking the bus with megabucks strikers - easy to see why they're tenth."Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it"

If I’m not mistaken at least 2 very good saves"Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it"
