Post match thread - City v Chelsea

We look so much better without the high line defending that was a characteristic of last season. All of a sudden our defenders look like they are quality players again.

Well done all round to the manager and players. Excellent performance and a cracking atmosphere.
 
sterling looked very timid and nervous. seems as though he doesn't want to mess up with the likes of aguero, silva, yaya and co. as his teammates. I can't wait till he gets comfortable and just settles down
 
I'm talking about the same two instances. Ffs no keeper on earth stands a chance when Kun puts them in the corner like he did with the first and Courtois isn't exactly the quickest to get down, is he? As for Vinny's when they go in off the post like that it's silly to say any keeper would have saved them.

Begovic has been one of the league's top keepers for the last 5 seasons and while Courtois might have a higher ceiling he's not definitively better at the moment, he's weak in the air, slow to get down and flaps at crosses, he handed us an equaliser with both hands at Stamford Bridge last season in case you've forgotten. Chelsea weren't handicapped by their goalkeeper today. They were handicapped by being technically, physically, mentally and tactically inferior in every area of the pitch outfield.
I agree with everything you said.

really? I thought he ripped Ivanovic a new one
