Other than the pass not coming quick enough!

Not really. He has the speed . All he had to do was wait in his half. U can't be offside in Ur half. 

      Besides he has been in this team long enough to know that the ball doesn't come early so may be he should delay his run a little

Worst performer that half was my BBC iPlayer feed by a country mile ...

I have to say I’m going off Werner pretty fast. Dogsh*t again.

Pissheads are inherently more interesting and attractive. 

So we played better than city. We created few chances but nothing significant. My brain still can't understand why tammy is not on the team. Surely tammy for timo is the no brainer sub. 

The 35 minutes delivered a good football, good and quick possession game, we had more minutes of control and had one good chance by James. Had feeling in the last 5 minutes City will score, we started to losing balls and failed to counter or move the ball. Werner is out of the game, he offers nothing at the moment.

Ziyech and Mount are very positive in our offensive game, Jorginho has played some good passes and won few balls. Kante's passing isn't that good, but his work rate and defensive discipline is fantastic. 

A draw here is a fair result for the first half, let's see how we will go through the second half. Werner should be off because it feels like we're 10 men with him. 

COME ON CHELS!!!

I’ve always maintained that bald men are just one step further ahead along the evolutionary chain. Mike Dean is still a massive twat though.

Let's hope the 2nd half is better than the first. We have had a couple of half chances but as usual we can't bury them or make poor choices for the final pass.  Pep will change things up no doubt.

Why are people moaning we’ve outplayed the best team in the country one of the best in Europe, we have been the better team. 

Really does not matter. Outplay mean lick if you don't create good chances

Fernandinho can step on people's faces but one 50-50 tackle in which James won fairly is being booked.

Mike Dean, celebrity ref everyone

Can anyone explain me how Fernandinho didn't receive any card and James got yellow for his first foul and was less aggressive than Fernandinho's tackle on Mount???

Can’t blame Mike Dean for the phantom yellow - Fernandinho has been pulling that same trick for years. Odd finding out that he’s shorter than Mason Mount though. 

Pretty solid so far. Not sure why Kepa has Draco Malfoy hair. The midfield have been very good.

That’s not Wilson, that’s Mike Dean’s estranged father

Sloppy passing today Kante.

He tends to look the odd one out in possession based games.

If Mount wasn’t so honest Fernandinho would definitely have been off. He could have made a meal out of the ‘stamp’ and the bad challenge, but that’s not his nature.

Mike Dean is the answer

Better team overall in the 1st half, particularly early on, but nothing to show for it yet - really hoping for more decisive finishing in 2nd half ahead so we don't regret not taking advantage of the early potential.

Kante has been below average in possession but he has easily been our best player out of possession, has consistently cut off passing lanes and put immense pressure on that City Midfield. 

Great for 30 minutes, then we havent been doing enough with the counters to get up the field. 

We look pretty comfortable though, anyones game tbh.

Fernandinho not even getting a booking for those 2 challenges was disgraceful, especially when James gets booked for winning the ball.

Kai for Timo and we are good

At least we can say that we have reached the Man City level of play, finally we have managed to have more possession for more than 30 minutes which is a big deal, rewind a few seasons back and we could have just dreamed of being in this scenario.

If we lose hope it is to a good goal rather than a mistake.

De Bruyne quiet so far and glad we have 5 subs today. 

@Malta Blue Your bet is still looking good.
