We, are, top of the league!

If you honestly think Grealish is worth the money we paid for him you shouldn’t be questioning how much I know about football.

Grealish is a very important cog in a wheel. What he does is not flashy or immediately noticeable but City know his contribution all too well.

If you have an open mind on the subject have a look at Statsbomb’s On Ball Value figures (OBV) that’s why we bought him and that’s what he’s done since day 1. Grealsh progresses the ball above all. He also keeps possession and creates space for others.

In terms of value for money that’s subjective so it’s a not a discussion that can really go anywhere.

and bert troutman would have held that shot for the third goal .ffs.

Yes, he would have.

Watching the highlights on MOTD 2 is just noticed that prick Jackson pointing at the City fans to Sterling after he scored encourage him to give it to them.

I think it's best to forget about today. The defensive performance was an anomaly, Pep had a stinker tactically and Chelsea were up for it. Take the point as well as 1st place going into the international break and move on.

Thought Dias, Gvardiol, Doku and Rodri were all dreadful

But to have so many players put in a stinker and come away with a point isn’t so bad I guess

Hopefully Stones back soon and Kev in the New Year and we can kick on

Disagree - probably Gvardiol's first mistake (an inexplicable one) in a blue shirt - Rolls Royce of a player. Dias - misjudged lunge made worse by the conditions and another loose touch, but that's it. Doku - didn't see much of the ball and didn't have the success rate we've become used to. Rodri - a one man midfield today and gave the ball away once.

Agree - we need Stonesy. Gvardiol has the skillset to do the Stones hybrid thing when he's injured.

MOTD commentary - no doubt the foul on Haaland a pen - unlike Spitty.

City have long memories. Arsenal and Chelsea have to play us again but this time at The Etihad. Let’s see.

 

[Worsleyweb]

Good point for me. Not many will win at Chelsea.

I think - he is twice saying “show them” - #prick
