I heard City took too long at a corner and now the Etihad is going to be demolished in punishment.

Can we read anything into Ederson not coming on ?

Was wondering that

No. He did this with Carson against Milan, too, but it was Ederson that played the whole game before sub.

Lads I'm not watching this but I can see the scoreline. In your view is it a case of City being great or Chelsea looking crap. Or a mix of the 2? I say this because I'm looking at the line-ups and Chelsea are far closer to a proper PL starting XI than City are (Phillips at CB?!!?).

Chelsea are shocking

City doing really well with the youth team. Nearly a full senior team for that lot.

A bit of both Chelsea look poor and disjointed at times City look more like a team considering the lineup..

 

[ThreesKompany]

Wow, this is a university stadium. Mental.

Not even the biggest one. Like 3-4 bigger.

Not how I took it mate. I took it as he can’t play in the position we need him to play.
Can’t see him getting a proper game as a defender when we have players like LaPorte leaving because they can’t get in the team.
Anyway, it’s all just a guessing game from both of us. I personally believe he’s only playing now because Ake, Stones, Akanji and Dias are unavailable and he’ll be gone. Probably out on loan again with us paying part of his wages.

Yeah, very possible, but he gets 90mins when he could have been subbed.

Which says a lot as Guardiola's not sentimental, one bit.

We shall see, though!
