Man City 3-1 Chelsea - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Manchester City and Chelsea.
Here are some of your comments:
City fans
Darren: Good solid performance after a shaky start. Still more room for improvement to get back to the solid City performances but it's looking like they could have turned the corner and get back on solid winning ways. New signings are looking good even despite the horrible mistake made by young defender Abdukodir Khusanov. Nerves and no training time with the team were probably the reason for his mistake. All in all, a good performance with good signs of City's fighting spirit back again.
Brian: The comeback kids did it again today. City played at a higher pace and with belief. This was good and the possession was effective. Phil Foden has found his mojo again.
Gene: Omar Marmoush played very well - he's going to be a problem for opposing teams. Khusanov made a mistake that should have been handled by Manuel Akanji. I do not like Matheus Nunes at the back and hope there's a replacement soon. With the speed we have up front, the long ball should be used more often with effectiveness for a quick counter.
Kevin: Awesome performance from Josko Gvardiol. Was also great to see Bernardo Silvahelping out the new lad after his nightmare start.
Chelsea fans
Jerry: Enzo Maresca is out of his depth as this game was there for the taking. Three players off a title-challenging team at least. Our goalkeeper needs putting out of his, and our, misery.
James: This was probably the most disappointing performance from Chelsea I've seen in a while. The inability to see that Man City were there for the taking and gradually let the game drift to another toothless defeat should worry those at the club. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory springs to mind.
Steve: Chelsea are a work in progress. Nothing more. Unfortunately they won't really go on to anything while having a keeper like Robert Sanchez who almost guarantees letting a goal in every game and a main striker who needs seven or eight games to get a goal.
Mike: At the start of the season, I was unsure about Maresca. Then we started stringing together results and I thought maybe I've been proven wrong. There's a frightening pattern of stepping back after a 1-0 lead and not trying to kill off the game early. Maresca is stubborn in not changing his style of play and persisting with Sanchez in goal. It's time for Maresca to go.
