Leicester was the FA Cup and I only watched a few minutes of the game but for all City's possession, they created barely anything and Chelsea were picking them off on the break fairly easily. The expected goals for the Chelsea v City game was 4.21 - 0.69 which I'd guess is one of the widest margins for a top 4/6 game. They were far from lucky.

That's across the 90 minutes. Other than the goal from the penalty, I don't think Chelsea had many if any chances after the red card so it wouldn't be massively different.
The Sterling chance was pretty much the only chance City had though, Chelsea had very good chances before they went a goal up and at 1-1. City will always have periods of possession and pressure but overall, Chelsea done a job on them.
Thankfully West Ham look terrible too. Your game vs them on the last day could decide who stays up.Sadly Villa also showing zero
If you exclude what we've done in the two penalty areas we've not played too bad. We created more chances than you would usually do in these sorts of games but we've been so sloppy with our final pass or shot and even sloppier in our own penalty area. It was stupid of Gomez to hold Sterling for so long, he was being fouled himself before hand but it's one that strikers never get called up on and have nothing to lose either.
There's just been a noticeable drop off in our concentration at the back. Particularly in games like City we've been so hard to play through but we made it far too easy for City.

When you're 8th, below Sheffield Utd and Wolves and only a point above Burnley, you cannot give out **** rob
Ok, let me rephrase that. You can partake but you cannot win
I didn't. I picked out the fact that you're in a battle with Burnley for a back door Europa League spot
In all seriousness, all this talk of the players being hungover is nonsense. If City are on it, which they were today, you need to be 100% focussed and disciplined in midfield and at the back and we were anything but that.
Somebody's as drunk as Robertson
When City are banned from the CL, KDB will terminate his contract and join his boyhood club.
And? The rule doesn't apply for defensive handballs, only attacking handballs.
What on earth does it have to do with officiating and VAR? The rules for attacking handballs are different to defensive handballs.
Whether you agree with the law or not, it's clear that if the ball strikes an attackers hand in the build up to a goal then it's a foul, regardless of intent. For a foul to be given against a defender there needs to be intent.
Spurs fans are getting in on it now. It's like a tallest dwarf competition.Cough, Luton cough
Well when the Chelsea and Utd fans join in you'll be 3rd.The tallest dwarf is still a winner
