Yeah go on. Blame Kolarov for losing the ball in midfield and letting in a cross that when it reached him and Wynaldum it was the latter that jumped when Kolarov finished his step and therefore wasn't able to jump at the same moment.
I'm not necessarily laying the blame on Pellegrini, but I don't think you can say this is Guardiola's team when only two of his signings started. It's going to take more than one window to get the squad he needs.
True, but I would bet my house that neither will be sold this summer.
Actually I thought the biggest single piece of luck in that game went to City, a free goal given to them by Chelsea. Funny how that's never mentioned when talking about luck in that game.Fine margins Ric. Luiz gets an early red card and we are looking at least one point against Chelsea. Either KDB or Aguero takes any of their chances and you are talking 3 points and there were one very decent call for a penalty in the game. We get the three points and you are talking one huge confident boost and a chance for the team to build some momentum. As things turned out they got all 3 despite us being the better side for large periods of the game and they never looked back since. You probably totally disagree but that is one huge slice of luck imo.
There was nothing lucky about Chelsea's 3 goals though was there?That's what we're saying got lucky in one game and it could change the out come of this season

What makes you so sure?
Personally I think both need selling and replacing with players who suit Pep's system better. I wouldn't bet on them both going, but equally I don't see both of them surviving this summer. This season a lot of players get the chance to stake their claim. I don't think Silva or Kun are currently showing that they are unsellable granted for different reasons.
That was after KDB hit the bar and Kun's effort cleared off the line which had been mentioned.
I don't deny that to an extent although when has a player EVER been sent off for a bodycheck? City should have scored, no doubt, I'm just saying there was nothing lucky about Chelsea's 3 goals.Lucky that Luiz still remained on the pitch and got away with a few more dubious challenges. City had another chance before the opener.
Chelsea are blue too aren't they?He's a Chelsea fan pretending to be a Blue. Ignore his fuckwittery.
This is nonsense, because they won 1-0 it means they didn't deserve to win? They were utterly dominant in those games. In all the 12 games in their run before todays game (which they also dominated & could have scored 8) there were only 2 teams that actually got at them--Spurs in the 1st half & City. The reason they've not only won all those other games but kept clean sheets in all 10 of them was precisely because they were so tight at the back, indeed, most of the teams (bar Spurs & City) just couldn't get at Chelsea. They've won 3-0 3-0 4-0 5-0 2-0 2-0 as well as those three 1-0 games. Just where they have been 'lucky' in these games is totally beyond me.
You do realise that it is impossible to judge a game by 5 minutes of MOTD action?
Pretended??? Where was I pretending? Is it not possible to just have a civil convo with you. I'm not gonna give it the biggin', & I wouldn't be rude about City either.You're lucky you're still posting on the forum IMO. I believe it's against the rules to pretend to be a City supporter when you support someone else. Your five Chelsea related posts show quite clearly who you support. So I reckon you do one.

I agree, the squad is weak in areas & it is a massive surprise that Chelsea are top at the moment. Personally I'm on permanent alert waiting for us to blow up because this team isn't as good as any past league winners we've had. I still think you are a major threat (too much quality) & Liverpool are surprising me a bit too.Proof that the players they have are good enough for another title maybe two under his leadership.
Personally while the league is tough and you have to be on song to get a win no matter the opposition I don't think Chelsea would do much damage in Europe with the current squad,
Oh okay, fair enough. There was a lot of talk about Chelsea in this thread though in fairness.Pretending is the word you're looking for. I don't want to have a civil conversation with you. This is the City/Liverpool post match thread. If you want to talk about Chelsea go to the Chelsea thread and post in there.
