Chelsea are so boring and conservative it's unreal. Tuchel is such a disappointment to me. I don't care that he won the Champions League, I really thought when he was at Dortmund that he was going to create some great teams playing progressive, innovative football. His teams at PSG and now Chelsea are just so boring and workmanlike.

Wait, is Guardiola actually playing Foden as a False 9 here?

is rudiger good now? always viewed him as a bit of a dud but he seems to have turned a corner

You could say the same of Christiansen. I think it's more to do with Chelsea playing with about 8 defenders most of the time. I still wouldn't trust Rudiger as far as I could throw him

We are worse to watch, and without any sort of results whatsoever.

I'm talking about Tuchel and Chelsea not Arsenal.

Thabk christ City scored, hopefully Chelsea have to actually try and cross the halfway line now.

Not that I particularly like Guardiola the man, but I think football needs a Guardiola team with great players in it. It's a shame watching his coaching ideas neutered by good but not great players. Imagine what you'd be seeing if he was coaching PSG and had Neymar, Messi and Mbappé to work with?!

I agree, his approach is effective but he's capable of more.

Grealish's big weakness when playing as a wide forward; he just isn't a good finisher. He never looked like scoring.

I really like Bernado Silva when he plays deeper as a CM. I mean, he's good everywhere, but he really works well with a bit more time on the ball and not penned into one side of the pitch.

Lukaku has been in donkey mode today. His touch has been woeful all game long.

villa score. they've looked good today

haha penandes into row z from the spot

City much better side than Chelsea.
