Not back, but much better...​

I could feel a sense of energy from the off. It's amazing what new faces & a sense of competition can bring. I seriously felt for Khusanov. He gave away a goal after three minutes & was booked a minute later for a rash challenge. For the goal, perhaps Akanji could've taken charge & hoofed the ball clear, but it is what it is.

Chelsea targeted our right, as they sensed Nunes was vulnerable & Khusanov was rattled. It's a strength of Khusonav's character that he managed to steady himself & recover to keep things simple & ticking over nicely.

Marmoush is a Superstar in the making! He was causing Chelsea all manner of problems, & was unlucky to have his goal chalked off for offside. We continued to grow into the match, when my joint MoTM rattled in the equaliser.

Nunes made a crossfield run into Chelsea's box, & his effort was blocked by the keeper, but spilled to Gvardiol to slot the rebound home. 1-1...

We came out for the second half building on our growing dominance. By now Chelsea were chasing us all over the park & Captain Bernardo led by example. He was fuckin immense.

We kept the pressure up showing great energy & fight when midway through the second half Chelsea buckled. Ederson clipped the ball to the Striking Viking, who shrugged off Chalobah's challenge & steamed toward goal. Sanchez came off his line to help Chalobah, but it gave Haaland the opportunity for a beauty of a chip for City to take a deserved lead.

However, we've been here before many times this season, so there was always a danger of a collapse. Chelsea stepped up the pressure, but we solidified central midfield & held firm.

The game became a ding dong battle, with Chelsea pouring forward with nothing to lose, but in doing so Ederson started playing long balls to Haaland to beat Chelsea's man for man press. Erling controlled one such pass & cleverly turned the ball around the corner for the on-rushing Foden who bored down on goal from the halfway line, & finished calmly to seal a crucial 3-1 win!

It was good to see Stones back. He replaced Khusanov & brought an air of quality & calm to our defence. As for Khusanov, he'll be fine. He's young & had a baptism of fire & will learn a huge amount from today's experience.

Marmoush was brilliant on his debut & I'm honestly gutted he didn't get the goal he deserved.

My MoTM was Bernardo. Today he was back to near his best, & his energy was unbelievable & infectious. A crucial win in a pivotal week. Roll on Brugge who shouldn't be underestimated, & Arsenal away next weekend.

Of course you’re allowed an opinion and if you look closely the fans at the ground, sky sports and the vast majority on here say he was MoM but here you are posting utter fucking shite.

Bernardo
Marmoush
Foden

All played better than him!
 
Oh, and just one more thing, this is from sky sports, you know, the neutral impartial media outlet who had to apologise live on air for airing a slanderous statement that seems to flow so freely from their red cartel infested mouths at will.
