In the last five games you have gained precisely one point on Chelsea. How nice.
You were shit.
One touch in our box the whole of the first half. Literally the worst currently performing defensive lineup in the League right now and you couldn't make it count. Your all star team were bossed by old timers like Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaletta, both candidates for China in the Summer. That more of your lot aren't so concerned by such a dire performance, particularly in light of your history of bottling it in the second half of the season, is a wonder.
And that advantage, not unique to City, will show itself as the season continues. If this is your lot at your best, I don't think Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal or even ourselves have much to worry about.
Well if you aren't aiming to do better than being perennial also-rans, then hell, why worry?
You have an error prone defence that, despite their height advantage and the fact the game was one way traffic, couldn't collectively (ie, put together) manage to win more aerial duals, make more successful tackles or time successful interceptions than an out-of-position Alex Kolarov.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Your midfield were wasteful and had some of the lowest possession percentages of a team we've played in months. When you're creating less goal scoring opportunities than fucking Burnley it's time to be a little more humble.
Dembele was your best player on the park yesterday, but even he wasn't on par. Who else was there then? Alli was anonymous until his goal and anonymous after. He had the lowest amount of touches in the first half (7) joint with Kane and contributed only 10 accurate passes the entire game, the lowest of any player on the park except, well, Kane. Walker had a contribution to make, but I'm not sure even you could spin it as positive. Wanyama and Rose weren't impressive either. Where's this great midfield then? On the bench?
Kane's on good form at the minute, but should that stop for any particular reason (and we all know he blows hot and cold) then you're pretty fucked. Again, you were playing against the infamously leaky City back line and couldn't actually get anywhere near the goal for a majority of the game.
Potentially only until Arsenal play.
3 points ahead of us? Top four position not looking so secure now, is it? Oh well, there's always the Champions League.
As well it shouldn't, but there's nothing to be proud about (as many of your lot want to paint it) with drawing off the back of unjust adjudication. If anything, you'd think your lot would be more conciliatory, but perhaps I expect too much of you.
