In general for far too long we have been a soft touch, even under Rafa I felt we were too nice and in a utopian world that's the way to be But that's not how football at the top level operates, you need that element of standing up for yourself and not just rolling over and having your bellies tickled. The one thing I've always liked about Joelinton is that he never took shit off anyone, sometimes it's resulted in silly cards but you know he can't be taken lightly. I do think it's exaggerated in relation to today, especially time wasting. For the majority of the game we were on the front foot, creating chances and trying to score. Chelsea were happy to sit back and not commit too many players forward, which is what they are entitled to do so. I remember Mendy taking his time with a goal kick or two but there was no mention of time wasting then. I think we definitely partook in some shithousing at the end but that's because it would have been a combination of the ref being shite as well as the 7 mins of time being added on.

He was superb today, scary to think he'll still get better

I worded it badly tbf I'm happy with where we are especially as we stay 3rd even if all the teams below us win Probably more of an ocd thing, prefer it when everyone plays the same amount of games

It's lush seeing the league table, though everyone not having played the same amount of games is a little annoying

Get in Fully deserved that

Murphy coming on instead of Maxi

Blatant foul on Joelinton, howay ref

Get Wilson on asap

Pulisic on for Azpi Are they going to a back 4?

Wood needs to do better, his touch and passing not good enough

Not even a foul, ridiculous

A few passes a touch too heavy from Bruno but the idea is there

Poor from Longstaff but he wasn't even offside

Ffs Wood man

Howay, let's do them in

Spurs are going to win it late on aren't they

The results were decent up until a few weeks ago but the football has largely been turgid

We should not be fearing that Chelsea team, even if we have Wood we should be all over them

Wood starts, oh dear

We absolutely should not be scared of them, though tbf I don't fear any team in the league really, especially at home I would love to see us dominate them like we did to Arsenal at the end of last season

Nope, I did too

Late winner from Brentford People that were saying City will win the league by 15 points or more couldn't be more wrong

Took that long getting treatment I thought they'd take him off

Need Haaland to get something as a few around me in other leagues have went with Kane captain

My music knowledge is shite but did I hear Sam Fender playing at the City stadium at half time there?
