Here’s one, Bernardo’s obviously class.

Would people rather him had left but it meant Kane in or he stays and no Kane?

Would rather have Bernardo than Kane, or that preening twat fake Ron, at least I won’t feel like I need a shower after every City match

Double like needed :-)

He's a great destroyer but simply not good enough with the ball for our team

But whenever he has the ball he has one 10-15% success rate option on finding the space in front of vardy, city tend have 2-3 75%+ options, it’s a different style

Deffinately something up with raz didnt look like he was trying he surely cant suddenly be that bad very worrying.

You can say that. The atmosphere in the away end was great and the backing for the team was outstanding, with as you point out just one quiet spell.

Walking away from the ground I heard a Leicester fan comment on how poor their support was today, which made me smile.

The City fans sounded great today. However you wouldn’t have thought so listening to Radio Manchester, the best they could say was “the City fans are all standing with their arms folded”; never heard so much noise from 3k people with “their arms folded”. Bring back Cheeseman

We had games like this even when we had top, top strikers. It's just how it can be for a possession dominant side.

The important thing is that we played largely well, kept the ball well, created chances consistently and prevented the other team from getting much joy in attacks.

If we played like that all season, it'd be far more likely that we win games consistently than consistently miss chances and pray for good luck.

I'm sure a world class centre forward would help us but at least today we made their keeper and defenders make some heroic saves and blocks.

More important than to 25 shots we had, we only conceded 6 shots to one of the top 5 teams in the league. It's early days but the average of 5.3 shots per game we are conceding is very low. Our rivals are conceding far more chances at the moment. By the sound of it, Chelsea really needed their keeper today and the Rags were not as impressive as their scoreline and the Ronaldo hype suggested.

We have made a better start than last year.

Today was hard because Leicester put so many men behind the ball and are a talented hard working side. Maybe we were a bit ponderous and slow at times but it requires patience when the spaces to attack aren't appearing. We were patient though and we really try to take care of the ball.

The way we pressed and won the ball back was particularly good.

I thought it was a good game. Pretty end to end. We had our spells where we dominated but they werent shy in having a go, which is rare from the opposition.
Good 1-0 win that coulda been 4-3

End to end! 18% of the game was played in our final third.
