Yep, though I am still making Utd favourites for the title. Strongest spine, depth of squad and tactically flexible.

Encouraging how Pogba being out has barely looked a factor so far.

Courtois

What do we want here? 0-0 with lots of injuries and red cards, or Chelsea 1-0 with lots of injuries and red cards?

Happy with either tbh

Love to see a square up between Guardiola and Conte

Game's a right mess at the moment.

Morata's hamstring gone ping?

Still waiting to see signs of this 'terrible City defence' everyone keeps telling me about.

Lol, play on

What a terrible £#%&!ing game.

Press, press, press, cynical foul. More pressing, foul. Foul, foul, foul.

Absolute shite.

Think Mou against this style will just go long into Lukaku/Fellaini and play from there. City for all their possession still look most dangerous when winning the ball and in transition, you want to avoid losing the ball in bad areas with the team out of shape.

Anfield will be a similar test.

We're not going to be much different from chelsea's approach when we play these.

Baldy looks dressed like he's walking the dog.

Tikka taka with no end product......boring as £#%&!
Has either keeper actually had to make a real decent save?

Hazard is getting the right £#%&!ing hump.

£#%&! me that's some goal

good finish

Well, let's see what Conte can do now.

Sadly, I honestly can't see anyone finishing above the berts this season tbh.

Yep it was but 1 decent shot in 65 mins despite probably over £1b worth on the pitch

That's a cracking goal from a cracking player. I hope he gets injured soon.
