Carrier bag have been jobbed by the ref here.

That Burnley joke of a ref has been evened out by this joker.

That red card for a goal scoring opportunity is the worst rule in football. Too subjective. And Willian isn't much of a goal scorer I doubt he would have actually scored

They could be a good team if it wasn't for that defence. All teams know that all you got to do is apply pressure and they'll fold.

Same soup reheated.

Chelsea do just need to go toe-to-toe with Liverpool at the weekend. No need being too conservative against that defence need to get at them.

A sit and counter job probably helps them out. They will definitely score

[El Fenomeno]

Nah.

They aren't why you are playing so well.

He’s a massive part of it.

Consistently breaking the lines to start our attacks and putting out fires whenever he needs to. Not sure what you lads are watching, he’s been brilliant.

United have a better defence.. Let's see City under some pressure and how Stones holds up..

He's out for 6 weeks I think

WTF PSG?! they must be setting goal scoring record in group stage. just looking in their line-up is scary, all of them are world class players maybe only one or two who isn't. they are champion contender in the last 5 years but before they still lack something, this year with neymar and alves on the team they have that "championship mentality".

i just hope juve dont ran in to them early in k.o stage.

Yeah dude PSG are the best team in Europe (elfenemeno said Napoli )..If you chuck enough billions at it like City/PSG/Madrid do eventually it clicks..

Sure it doesn't guarantee immediate or sustained success.. but money does matter a hell of a lot.. Chelsea and City were nobodies before massive investment

Hell United have been **** for the last 4 years with little to no direction.. but still managed to win the Europa cup.. Fa cup and Carling cup by just throwing more and more money into the club

[MOTHERDUCKER]

Also I think this money doesn't buy success myth started with Madrid in the Galactico era.. they still won a few trophies but weren't as dominant as people expected.. as they just tried to stuff Ronaldo.. Beckham.. Raul.. Zidane..Figo and co into one team rather then have a proper balance (sold makele)

Just look at all the top leagues.. same winners (Leicester/Athletico aside) every year for the past 10 years or so

Nowhere near as hard to concede less when your team is set up primarily to defend in a lot of games.

City's system is an attacking one in every single game, set up to benefit the attacking players. Defenders have to read the game and pass the ball exceptionally well to excel in that system and that's exactly what Stones and Otamendi have done this year.

Wouldn't swap one of your starting defenders for ours. Wouldn't even want to replace Ederson's distribution with De Gea's shotstopping, we'd lose more than we'd gain.
