If you'd told me at the start of the season that we would beat Chelsea 3-0 home and away, I would have thought we would be Champions.

Frustrating. We are easily the best team in this league when on form. Joy to watch today.

And if you said we would get one point out of twelve against Leicester and spuds who would respectively be first and second you would be certified insane

Interesting that it's taken another chastening defeat from the rags to awaken us from our slumber.

Is their lack of challenge for the title affecting us over the last couple of years? I could be well wide of the mark but our lack of fight has coincided with their collapse.

Just a thought.

it's because Chelsea aren't in the top 8. still on course to be flat track bullies.

doesnt matter though. will take as many points as we can get.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

We have improved with the return of Nasri and KDB. Other players such as Aguero have missed a couple of months or more. It's no good having great players if they are in the treatment table. I have never known us suffer so much in one season.

Attitude, injuries and tactics are the reason we are not in contention for the PL and are still in contention for the CL.

Attitude is the staring point. Without the correct attitude you will be in contention for nothing.
In the PL our attitude has been shocking. In the CL it has been fantastic.

Abject. I thought Kolarov was an embarrassment. Half-arsed almost across the board. Roll on Pep. I am genuinely concerned for the CL, Real must be be licking their lips.

Completely different form. They are totally focused on the champs league. It might not be enough to win it but that's where their focus is.

To the detriment of the prem this season.
