Chelsea 0-2 Man City - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Chelsea and Manchester City.
Here are some of your comments:
Chelsea fans
Glenn: We played nowhere near the standard needed to beat an average performance from City. Too slow and pedestrian with Fernadez showing he should not play as a 10. Maresca takes off the best player in Lavia and it was the same problem up front. Going to be a struggle again this season.
Richard: I thought there was much that was good, other than the midfield. Gallagher needs to be kept and Fernandez sold. He has not impressed me in all the time he has been at the club - likewise Jackson. I really didn't understand why Jackson was not taken off and Nkunku played through the middle. Our keeper made good saves but his distribution was poor.
Nicholas: About what I expected, I'm sad to say. We played quite well in patches and again missed some good chances. We have a lot a players but too many are average at best. The owners have a lot to answer for. City just buy the players they need and if it becomes silly money they don't pay. We have spent a billion for what?
Man City fans
Chris: Really solid start to the season with many first-team players yet to feature, and finally another win without Rodri! Kovacic was excellent and Savinho looked exciting on the right during the first half. Looks good for a chance of five on a row.
Scott: I wasn't expecting too much from the game given the injuries, late returns, and Chelsea's unpredictable starting line-up. Doku struggled in his starting position before switching flanks and coming alive in the game. Haaland used his strength taking his goal magnificently. Lewis and Silva once again showed just how important they are for City.
Alan: Phew. Relieved. Unusually sloppy but got away with it. A great result in the circumstances. Roll on Ipswich!
