2 of the highest scoring 2nd half teams, open 1st half..yeah this is ending up 2-2

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Pace of the game is ridiculous, I’m knackered watching it.

Here comes the Ox and Keita. Begs the question which Ox and Keita are we getting, good Ox and good Keita or underwhelming Ox and underwhelming Keita

Ox up front isn't good

 

[omnomnom]

Ox up front because Bobby has rona and Origis injured. Nice.

 

[Tombstone]

Well Konate can leave that sort of crap out of his game thanks

Bodes well after today when Salah and Mane go as well.

Tyler’s gagging for a Chelsea winner.

 

[Tombstone]

Shaping up to be a perfect New Year for City this. Especially with Chelsea about to lose Mendy and Liverpool losing Salah. Hard to see anyone but City for the title by the end of this month

 

[omnomnom]

Could do with less screaming from all please.

 

[C Kent]

Tyler’s a knob

Agreed

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Kovacic MOTM? Been excellent today.

 

[Tombstone]

Liverpool look spent, been non existent up front since the substitutions. Every attack is pretty much just whack it long and hope that Salah or Mane can get it

Im surprised Jones didnt come on a lot earlier tbh. How Ox comes on ahead ill never know.

 

[manic111]

Kovacic has been absurd today

 

[C Kent]

Stick a fork in it, title race definitely over now.

 

[omnomnom]

3 or 4 games this season we should be controlling it with a lead and the senior lads just have a brain fart. Crap result for both teams.

Even more so if City beat Chelsea on the 15th Jan.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Chelsea the better team today so I’ll take the draw but the title’s done and dusted now.

Carragher was bang on with his halftime analysis, we play more like a basketball team than a football team now. It’s just end to end, frantic football with little to no in game management or control. We won’t win another title playing like this even if it is exciting to watch.

 

[Tombstone]

2nd half was a bit of a letdown after that first half. Result doesnt really do much for either Chelsea or Liverpool and with both of them being hit far harder by AFCON than City, its not unreasonable to say its a done deal. Chelsea are 10 behind City and have to face City on the 15th with no Mendy, could be 13pts behind City on the 16th. Liverpool are 11pts behind City with a game in hand, win that and its still 8 pts behind, all coming up to a period of the season where City usually go on a big unbeaten run.
