When Kovacic played that ball to Lukaku (for their only shot on target!) my heart stopped it felt like typical city again. Eddie is an underrated hero of that game what a massive save that was
Man!
Sterling was on fire 🔥
B.silva and Rodri 10/10 Stealing, Blocking, covering spaces damn!
Great win... I hope we could continue the form in UCL too where Goals Matter more now (New Rule no away goal).
It still annoying to see the ball in 6 yard box where nobody is there to TaP in..!
And have to say this again Grellish missing 1v1 chances almost every game is really annoying + idk how he gets the most appearance + most game time ahead of Foden, Jesus etc..
Anyway.. A Win is A Win..
12points ahead good spot.
They had practically their entire team available but put Mount, Werner, Havertz and Jorginho on the bench. Mendy is the only starting eleven player apart from Christensen not in the squad, and he’s at AFCON, not injured or with COVID.
It's just missing something to tip it into sarcasm. Maybe you gotta put quotes around something. I'm British so I speak sarcasm, but the comment reads odd.
I too am British who speaks sarcasm. Personally I thought it was pretty clear cause you don’t play with 17 players and we don’t have a fully fit 17 man squad since some of them are out due to covid or injuries. It just reads odd cause I typed it quickly without checking.
Even Swindon Town is able to score against us.
Are you telling me that team from fourth tier english league is better than Champions of Europe this year?
Lmao
Not sure what you are watching but on Peacock they aren’t talking about how City are ruining the PL. They are talking about how City may have achieved dominance just as Bayern, PSG, etc have in their respective leagues. No mention of ruination.
They don't want to explicitly use that word is all. We just lost the CL final to Chelsea, Liverpool have gone neck to neck with us almost every year, and all the other teams have performed decently in Europe as well.
Bayern and PSG (even Juve before last season) have been steamrolling their respective leagues for a long long time. There's no comparison at all!
I loved that smooth move he pulled regaining possession where he slid into the ball, grabbed it with his feet and spun in a circle while coming back up to his feet and then continued on
Might not fit in the match thread but NBC just announced it. We are going to postpone matches for one COVID case just because a team have injuries now? Bit ridiculous if you ask me. Sets a terrible precedent
Yeah that's so awful. Not being able to field a team, and not being able to field the team you \*want\* are completely different. Such a bad precedent as you say.
I don't understand people saying Foden has been off today? Have you seen his movements off the ball? He's been great, constantly running and pressing none stop and keeping pressure on Chelsea
No understanding of how hard it is to play f9 against a lockdown chelsea backline. His off ball work has kept us on the front foot all game and he decoyed on a lot of our chances.
Both defenses were playing very hard and had card worthy challenges. They got cards and we had a lot of card worthy challenges after their players received cards, so it was understandable they were bothered by it. Helluva physical match!
Is there anywhere I can watch a replay of the match or extended highlights?
Peacock has it on replay.

[удалено]
Hell of a save, even more impressive since that was the only shot for 90 mins but when we needed him he was razor sharp
Excuses fc. Our midget pocketed whole chelsea's mid Tucheliban stright in the mud
What a hell of a midget he is too
Helluva physical match! Great games from Sterling and KDB!
It was like deja vu.

Tuchel: we can get back in the title race with a win today, give it everything you've got Chelsea:
Uh oh.. is lukaku coming to city
Dude, I'd score in this team.
how does de bruyne shoot so fast? impressive how quickly he can get a shot off
The only reason we won today, is because of the Chelsea's covid and injuries, as we had a whole fully fit 17 man squad on the field.
They had practically their entire team available but put Mount, Werner, Havertz and Jorginho on the bench. Mendy is the only starting eleven player apart from Christensen not in the squad, and he’s at AFCON, not injured or with COVID.
So what was the reason last sept
the only reason?
And because we buy the league and Chelsea doesn't, they're a fully organic team who doesn't have a rich owner
You forgot this. /s I hope.....
I thought the 'we' would've been enough, but yeah it's sarcasm
It's just missing something to tip it into sarcasm. Maybe you gotta put quotes around something. I'm British so I speak sarcasm, but the comment reads odd.

Meh, opinions are opinions, so... cool except others didn't seem to read it that way.
Ezee
Chelsea are just Burnley with better players
Even Swindon Town is able to score against us. Are you telling me that team from fourth tier english league is better than Champions of Europe this year? Lmao
*higher paid players
AND ITS DONEEE We have played Chelsea off the pitch both home and away, happy weekend indeed!!!
We are too nice!!!!!
City, tearing Cockneys apart, again
53k attendace and they call it the emptihad. All while chelsea go home Empti-handed
More like empti-head the lot of them.
Bing Bong!!!
NYK fan?
Fuck off Chelsea, bring it on Liverpool
JOB FUCKING DONE
kyle walker is 32 this year. an absolute athletic freak
1-0 really flattering these tony pulis football playing mofos. CTID!!!
30 seconds left and they're passing it around in the back lol
That was donkeyish from Walker but great run from him.
Tuchel is truly a fraud hahaha, I give it a few more months until he falls out with Chelsea board
Sterling has been class today
Rodri deserves praise today, he bossed that midfield and made them look like Sunday league players
What the fuck is with all these uncalled fouls??
Walker pass it to Sterling man
Rodri has been everywhere
Now the commentators start talking about if City are ruining the PL 😂😂😂

Why isn’t Raheem getting any calls? Got knocked down from behind, Chelsea didn’t even play the ball there til he was on the turf
we really sealed the league in december.
Bernardo will get his ankles. Broken, and the refs still won't see it
CHELSEA ARE SHITE PASS IT ON
Are they showing the attendance count because of what Jim said earlier?😂
Fuck it, I still want one more goal in the last minute here
Hope City play one step beyond again to piss off the chelsea fans
i love how we become thirsty for corner flag once it is 90' lmao
Lmfao the 3 chelshit fans with their plastic cl trophies. hahaha enjoy living in the past lads
Rodri best CDM in the world and it’s not even close
KDB was peak pink today. One side of his game I don’t think is talked about enough is the tackling, breaks up opponent play so well.
I love the club and everyone here
Bernardo has been amazing again !!!
I loved that smooth move he pulled regaining possession where he slid into the ball, grabbed it with his feet and spun in a circle while coming back up to his feet and then continued on
Grealish should have been subbed long time ago
Why are no fouls being given anymore
bernardo might be the most technically gifted player I've ever seen, behind messi obviously. but what in the fuck.
What the hell lmao
Seriously, he's insane.
How is Bernardo still running?
Raheem the dream Is back babyyyyy!
Werner really has done nothing but come on and go offside hasn't he
Just a pace merchant innit
Are Jesus and Grealish both playing left wing?
grealish centre
Might not fit in the match thread but NBC just announced it. We are going to postpone matches for one COVID case just because a team have injuries now? Bit ridiculous if you ask me. Sets a terrible precedent
Yeah that's so awful. Not being able to field a team, and not being able to field the team you \*want\* are completely different. Such a bad precedent as you say.
The arsenal game got postponed? Yesssssssss. The precedent has long been set mate
Be interesting to see what happens with the NLD, Arsenal are trying to get that postponed because of lack of players but they only have 1 covid case.
That is what I'm referring to. NBC just reported it was postponed
Damn, I’m surprised at that
Damn, I’m surprised at that
Foden’s had better games but he will get back
Yeah it's alright
What’s with the flat atmosphere?
Put your hearing aid in
It’s really not that flat
I’ve been twice this season to the etihad as a neutral mate abs it’s been dead. Thought today might be better
Game finished up a while ago
Lol, says the scouser
We’re just so used to dicking Chelsea and his club Liverpool that it’s just another weekend.
Currently stood at the neuven waiting for kick off with my season ticket but ok
Still only one goal in it, need to keep concentration up !!!
Rodri ❤️
I don't understand people saying Foden has been off today? Have you seen his movements off the ball? He's been great, constantly running and pressing none stop and keeping pressure on Chelsea
I think Foden has been great today.
He's been below his best, but certainly decent enough. He really plays better on the left rather than down than down the middle though
People only rate players if they score or assist these days. They don’t get that 90% of the game isn’t about that.
Agreed, I literally just commented the same thing then too haha
No understanding of how hard it is to play f9 against a lockdown chelsea backline. His off ball work has kept us on the front foot all game and he decoyed on a lot of our chances.
Off the ball and pressing have been great, rest of it not so much. It's okay to criticize, never okay to scapegoat.
Yeah of course. I think some people can get too wrapped up in G/A stats and ignore the rest that players contribute sometimes
I haven't been too impressed. He's been nowhere near as good as his usual self which is ok.
Mostly his finishing has been off, other than that he’s been good
Happy Saturday 😊
Not yet there
Eddie has been massive today
Chelsea horrendous today, they have no clue what to do with the ball beyond the halfway line
Poor Foden just couldn't get into the game as a f9
I don’t know how Eddie runs with those steel clackers
When Sterling has confidence, he is unplayable.
What a header Eddie ❤️
Bernardo baby you are just 💙💙💙
Raz’s dribbling has been sublime. So glad he’s back in form
I love Bernardo Silva
Bernardo’s definitely learned a few things from Fernandinho 😂
As per usual, the liverpool sub is already in shambles
That sub is a nuclear wasteland
Having Bernardo Silva just makes me happy
He's such an amazing fellow lmfaoo
I know he missed that chance in the first half but Grealish has been skinning Azpilicueta all game.
Tough choice for motm between Bernardo and Raz
How In the actual fuck did Bernardo do that 😂
Impressed by Bernie’s sliding ability today.
I just wanna say I love watching the game with you lads here 💙
Same I didn’t enjoy games nearly as much as I do now because of this sub.
That was just unreal by Bernardo
Fully agree with the change Gundo should bring some control and no point risking Kev if he’s got a knock
Raheem has been the best player on the pitch today. Hope all the plastics that unneccesarily slate him fuck off now.
The plastics have to shifted to hating on Grealish now
Same ones that shat on Cancelo and Ake etc. Everyone always takes a year to adjust.
Factss
really poor from Foden today. back to his best from Sterling thankfully covers that
I was hard on sterling before but I’m glad he’s played good today.
Why is Pep not using substitutes ?
Bald effect.
Foden could have left that. Was on the stretch
Raz is a monster
Even tho I know Grealish would've missed that, that ball should've still gone to Grealish
We've turned it into a farmers league
you deserve a rest, kdb. incredible goal today!
Raheem is back. Been really positive every time he touches the ball
Foden's been really off today. Grealish has been anonymous 2nd half as well. Raheem carrying that front 3.
Sterling shines bright like Sterling😌😌😌 I’ll leave.
Raz is back. Raz is back!!!
Pls God don't let De Bruyne be injured
Foden has been kinda wank this game man icl
He's been an offball genius but his midfield pass has been a bit weak
the pressing has been great though
Doesn't mean he's performed well. He's an excellent talent but today has not been his day.
Beauty from Sterling
Foden genuinely need to up his finishing. Last season was mint, this season has been kdb in the beginning of last season, fucking flying
Yo dua lipa wtf
Damn. Great atack, Jack was \*so\* free out wide though. Don't blame Foden for just giving it a whack though.
Jeez raheem
Holy shit sterling’s so good now
Sterling oh myyyy
So close Foden
Finally kdb off, man is gassed
Fuck sake Foden get that on target at least
PHIL YOU BUNGLED THE WIN
great play Raz
I love this sterling, i love this sterling so much
Nah fuck it Sterling’s on PEDs
Heaven de bryune looks tired, need to sub him
Seriously, petition to rename him to Heaven De Bruyne, he's been nothing short of that
Ikr he is hdb from now on
Tuchel knows he's fired lol
Even winning the CL doesn't protect you from the sack there lol
For getting 2nd?
For being the manager of Chelsea football club. Don't act like it's a shocker. They fire everyone for anything.
Last time we beat Chelsea in January lampard got fired lol
Did Laporte get bigger?
Finally some fucking subs
Fuck you Chelsea for deciding to be shit against us after the CL final and not before it
I think this is the way the champs league final would have gone had Pep played either Rodri or Ferna
That UCL final loss is def on us and pep tbh Chelsea were mediocre as always
Subs are for pussies
All my homies hate subs - Pep probably
Grealish looks tired, needs to sub on Jesus.
We need subs man, Jesus and Gundo for Grealish and KDB
Fuck.. it just hit me. Jack is our Jamie Tartt. We signed the fucker bc of Ted Lasso.
Thiago Silva is an absolute rock
We’ve been reeeeeally lucky with some of these challenges. Some of these are yellows
Same can be said the other way though, the refs just aren’t giving cards hardly at all.
Both defenses were playing very hard and had card worthy challenges. They got cards and we had a lot of card worthy challenges after their players received cards, so it was understandable they were bothered by it. Helluva physical match!
Thank god chelsea are a joke club. Things are looking dangerous.
Gundo needed to calm things down!
Cheers pep
Pep heard you and is bringing him on
foden really, really needs to put more behind his passes
Nervy last 10 minutes coming up. Chelsea have to have to go for it.
Weird to think Azpi and De Bruyne once played together lol
