True, was woeful against the dippers. Perhaps he had a point to prove seen as he wasn’t a starter in the first team towards the end. I despise players who raise their level for one particular game.

He’s been their stand out player all season TBF.

Spurs got beat by them and Arsenal and Liverpool both dropped points as well so you have just got to see it as par with our rivals imo. They're a decent side, they'll take more points off other rivals this season.

I see it as very late points lost versus Chelsea and Arsenal
 
cacking game that.

We weren't our best today, and we should have beat them.

Ref did okay, and I'm all for letting the game flow, but how on earth did he not book Gallagher when it could so easily have been a Red?
 
The pre International break curse strikes again, always happens us dropping points. We never looked comfortable today, Chelsea were cutting through us with ease, our defence was shocking. Hard to pick a motm really, Foden 1st half, Bernardo 2nd.
Sterling can fuck off as well after today, and not great from Palmer scuffing the penalty spot
 
Been looking for that rule in the IFAB rule book but can't find it?
You know, the one where it's only a penalty to City if the player was going to score?

What the fuck is this new narrative?
A foul in the box by the defending team is a penalty. End of .
 
Disappointing not to get all three points, we were very poor defensively and there seemed to be a fair old gap in space and thought between the defence and midfield. We didn't really respond to their pressing and we pondered on the ball for far too long at times. In the context of how the game went a point is better than none but we really should have been winning this game.
I do hope the defence sorts itself out before the next game or it could be unpleasant. It was getting a little tetchy out there at times too.

Tbh sterling has played well in quite a few games this season, he is having a good season so far.

It might have been a great game for the neutral but from our perspective it's two points thrown away. You just can't score four goals away from home and not win it's ridiculous.

For all the wanking about Gvardiol I'm not impressed.....and yes I know he's still settling in. The biggest problem is our midfield. Without De Bruyne and Stones it's as weak as fuck. Nunes and Kovacic are well below the level we are used to and as for Phillips, he's a lost cause. No decent midfield protecting it means our defence creaks when it's put under pressure and boy was it today. Individually and collectively they were shocking.

Looking on the positive side were still top by a point and we normally get better as the season progresses. I guess it's just raw after scoring so late not to win it so I may be being overly critical.
