How come Chelsea can hammer Everton but we couldn't>?

Liverpool and Chelsea don't seem to be having any issue with teams parking the bus

I'd have loved if Everton went with three at the back against us.

Stekelenburg was fairly poor on a couple of their goals too as opposed to pulling out two absolutely incredible stops against us.

This. Stekelenburg should have done better with both Hazard's first goal and Alonso's. Compare that to the 2 penalty saves he made against us and the fact that they played with 3 at the back against Chelsea instead of 4 like they did against us and it gives you some idea as to how they capitulated against the rent boys. Had we scored our 2 pens the final scoreline could have been similar

Liverpool and Chelsea also have zero Champions/Europa to contained with and look miles fresher than us. Imagine if Pep could have full weeks of training instead of training mixed in with recovery sessions.

Does anyone think Watford will defend against us like they did against Liverpool yesterday

Very true.

Also, are the dippers as profligate in front of goal as we can be on occasion? The PL top scorers in 2016 as a whole by some distance and top scorers this year. Without a top class recognised striker.

They worry me

Did you see how open Everton were in the Chelsea game, they were so naive that they believed they could go toe-to-toe. Two totally different performances, and tactics adopted were miles apart.

And while I'm at it, so were fucking Watford. What gets me is how these teams come to ours and shut up shop yet are so expansive elsewhere.

Cunts!!!

Watford's defending was so inordinately bad, they ended up looking more like a pub team than a Premier League outfit.

Hang on though, that's being very unkind and harsh to pub teams. They did, however, succeed in making Liverpuddle look good.

Perhaps we should take it as a compliment that we are the most feared side in the league then as others will go away to the like of Chelsea and the dippers believing they can get something out of the game, yet are so shit scared when they come to the Etihad that they feel they have no option but to park the bus and, therefore, raise their game defensively. Despite this it has only been our profligacy in front of goal that has cost us the 2 points in those games. The only sides who I don't think will do this against us will be the dippers and spuds

Don't be naive. Spuds and especially scouse will park the bus . Scouse will also spend an inordinate amount of time kicking the ball high in the air , so that they can get their rows of six and four organised.

Once City get a goal they need to move the ball around in our own half to pick of the counter attack chance, or stay in possession in our part of the field .

Let them come to us.

Rags will park the bus when they come to ours if Mo is under any sort of pressure in the lead up to the game.

Pep, has seen it done and has the T Shirt. Once we get 2nd goals it will fall into place.

100% they will park the bus.

We'll see. You might be right about Spurs but I reckon Klopp will send his team out believing they can win. I'd be happy to be proven wrong
