It badgers belief for me how a lot of City fans bemoan Pep's methods for City when we suffer a defeat. It's his first season in charge, now he can evaluate which players are up to the standards and which aren't, let's allow him the opportunity with a transfer window as manager and make progress with our team.

I've yet to meet a rag who complains when we lose; in fact most seem quite chilled about it. Just like many on here.Theres a lot of angry people knocking about tonight,whb.Makes you wonder if we have some Rags in our midst ... surely they can`t be Blues.

Sorry, but most of what you've said is just unadulterated bollocks.
"we smashed Chelsea and looked totally superior". Priceless. We lost. We had zero shots on target in the second half of a game which you believe we had "loads to spare" in. Please give me, in no particular order, the litany of saves Courtois had to make to keep them in the game. As I say, any order, I'm not bothered which you start or end with.
"Reverse the decline we've all seen coming for the last 3-4 years". Really? tell me, when, in 2014, we were putting SIX past Arsenal and SIX past Spurs and utterly annihilating ALL the top teams, what decline were you talking about? You weren't. And you wouldn't. That season we were sublime. We scored for fun, we battered everyone. Decline? In your head maybe.
If you want to say "WOW" about a game that Chelsea won; if you want to say "WOW" about a City performance that saw us score once. And lose. Go ahead. I'll reserve my excitement for a performance that properly warrants a "WOW". Last night's didn't. By a fucking long chalk.
well said it's just not just the team that seem to have lost It's winning edge. Some of the fans have too.

stay calm after defeat = rag?

We had at least two on target in second half. Stones header and Aguero from Nolito's ball.
It seems Delph agrees with @Dribble.
Delph: "We were the better team by far – by a country mile."
But that has been the City we have watched all season. Great in possessions,and unable to create scoring opportunities.It just really gets to me when some can't see that there's a plan in place, as opposed to the last three seasons where most of us were thinking WTF!
All the neutrals I spoke to today said we smashed Chelsea and looked totally superior. You CAN be the better team and lose and last night we proved that with loads to spare. We went to Stamford Bridge and made Chelsea defend for their lives at times with a 10-man defence. Now that takes some doing at any point over the last 15 years!
Keep the faith and give Pep the time he needs to reverse the decline we've all seen coming for the last 3-4 years. The difference between then and now, is that we have a plan and we have been blessed with Jesus our young Lord and our saviour. Trust me, if he'd have played last night, we'd have won. THREE times Aguero could have played a killer pass, but he decided to go for glory, and the few & far between chances we had were lost.
Think about the performance last night and forget the result for now. Think about Jesus & Gundogan returning and the replacements for some of our players who are reaching the end of their top side careers. From the end of last season, it's not been about the now, it's been about our immediate future, and if last nights performance is anything to go by, all I can say is WOW!
Even Delph looked like the player we hoped we'd got! Keep the faith brothers, I feel like we could be on the cusp of something special, but don't believe for a moment that any other PL challenger is just going to bend over, lube up and let us stiff them until they're red raw without them giving us a right scrap. Those days are long gone and Leicester proved that last season.
It took a huge slice of luck to score: a mis-kick by Courtois, and then Silva's shot rebounded perfectly to Aguero. We had chances, but mostly from set-pieces. I remember Sane going through one on one and Courtois just got a touch to it. And also Fernandinho. Stones had two chances from set pieces but they were from crosses.
So it was good up to a point. We're still not creating chances from open play. I think it's because whilst Aguero can finish chances, he's not got he speed to create space for himself in the box, or behind the defence. Jesus has, so long term this does not bother me.
I thought the defence was better against Chelsea and Kompany was for me MoM. We looked a treat from set-pieces, and he was reading the game so well, but remember Chelsea decided to sit back for a half, and played within themselves because for them the 3 points were everything.
