You couldn't make it up - how that Argie Arsehole has got another one I don't know lol

Controversially I think there’s a top footballer in there I was about to make the argument he’s good on paper but he’s not 😂 not too 10 midfielders for tackles, ball regains, assists, successful passes, maybe he is sh*te after all 😂

The dummy Enzo threw Donnabummer by missing the first shot completely was pure footballing genius.

You can’t teach those levels

Like I have been saying for a while, Arsenal are winning the league.

Drawing at Sunderland missing more than half their first team and then to us when we are in crisis is beyond shocking by city.

First then let Liverpool win the league now Arsenal. All while we are having to suffer this ownership.

Pep should be sacked.

It's an awful league this season, we should be up there challenging

Good to see us show a little grit and even going for the win at the end.

I'm a little concerned about Palmer's form, though. It seems like more than just a lack of fitness, but obviously that does not help.

Absolutely essential to have proper midfielders in the pivot. Hopefully we see the Caicedo/Santos pairing from now on, with James at RB.

If Enzo plays, he's the #10. Palmer RW Estevao LW Delap up top.

As much as I don't rate Enzo that's exactly what i would do with the players at our disposal.

Big time, didn't he. Looked well pissed off

Probably wondering when he’ll play as a 10 as he was apparently promised when he signed, as opposed to being hung out to dry on the wing, and then having to watch Neto fluff his lines on more than one occasion today.

Class from Reece taking the boss over to the away support.

XG - Man City (1.15) 1-1 (1.99) Chelsea

To be fair half of that was Fernández's 0.98xG chance right at the end.

I know that Neville gave MOTM to James but I thought that Santos was outstanding when he came on.

Yeah. he had 3 chances in 2 seconds lol.

Give him a 10 year contract NOW.

How sh*te is this seasons PL ??

It’s almost as bad as last year or Leicester’s season.

The mid table teams have definitely got better these last few years but Arsenal will win the league this season. Probably by 10 points at I reckon.

Every top club is in a transition period apart from them and it really shows this season.

w**kers!

The other half was Neto's miss

Yes such a wasted opportunity, a half decent consistent Chels challenges all day long.

Our players are not too bad. Imagine what they could be like with a proper experienced manager eh. I wonder if we shall ever get that.

I've said before that Delap is useless, but that I felt sorry for him because he doesn't suit the slow way we play. Today he was much better, and looked like what we want from him..

Simple and uncomplicated football in the 2nd half made a world of a difference.

Biggest positive tonight for me was that Maresca is gone. I can see the difference already, Santos getting decent amount of minutes, Delap looked more like himself, Hato and Badiashile didn’t look like complete clowns.

Thank god Maresca is gone.

To be fair there’s been little to cheer this game so Delap twating someone off the pitch was welcomed by me. Just not every match please Liam

Pity it wasnt Silva he twatted. Can't stand that t**t

Best Delap has played for us. Gusto, Enzo, Santos all playing well. Badiashile is still absolute dog sh*t.

We could have won that but Neto has different ideas

I think that if we had scored earlier City would have gone up a couple of gears and beat us easy. They got complacent and were punished.

With two such mercurial players I don't understand why him and Estevao are held so rigidly. Why couldn’t Palmer have moved to the right and Estevao take the 10. Just to keep building a relationship between them.

Hey @Munkunku where is my credit/blame for the draw?

Very good performance under exceptionally challenging circumstances

Takeaways

Nearly held the first at nil nil

Caicedo was not missed

Calum the interim should be the permanent mamager or at least assistant to LR

That was a the best 2nd half performance in weeks - bc Marescas tactics were absent

That’s a good point away at the Etihad considering they’re unbeaten in weeks

Most of us on here should stick to our day jobs as nearly all got the pre match prediction part very wrong

Carefree again in the non stop Californian 🌧️!!

It’s only your fault when things go wrong obviously.
