Just watching Match of the Day and realised not only did they get beat, they got beat by a Chelsea team with half of their first team players out. ETA: Fucking hell, not only that, but half of their second string defence get injured in the game as well.

Their end to last season was pretty poor, right after securing the title. No wins for their final 4 PL games. The signs were there, the fans and their arse-lickers just casually dismissed them.

I pointed out in the summer on here, they’ve downgraded at right and left back, Ekitike isn’t as good as Jota or Diaz, Wirtz might well take ages to get used to the PL and Salah and Van Dyke are on the verge of Gundoganitis.

They’ve spent a fucking fortune to get worse.

Frimpong is worse than TAA? That is quite some achievement

Ekitike is certainly performing and is playing better than both Jota and Diaz have been for them. Luckily they bought the petulant child who for some reason is benching him, despite being their most lethal attacker.

Wirtz likely made a huge mistake not coming to City. He is a central midfielder playing for a team that is focused on attacking with their wingbacks. They never needed a creative midfielder. My fear is they realise Wharton is a missing link, a player that would improve us as well.

Wouldn't be the first. How many players went to the rags and saw their career go backwards when they could have come to us and won everything?
 
They have a few problems which makes it all the better and one is fatal as regards this season.

The fatal problem is the quality of their central defence. Look at Van Dijk when Caicedo picks the ball up and runs for Chelsea's first goal. That is an older defender panicking and in reverse knowing his legs have gone. Konate and Gomez can't cover Van Dijk. This is not form, it's age. There is no solution for this other than to find a new central defender.

Other problems include the ageing Salah, and a collective drop off in the will to win after winning a title.
