If your basing that on today's game, I agree....but at full strength, City have a better bench

how come?

They had to deal with Jovetic injury and it led Pelegrini to bench Dzeko because in their usual 2 strikers system if he starts with both he has no substitute. They lost Yaya and his replacement is Lampard (who I love, but lol, talk about underwhelming). Their AMs are no better than ours, their keeper and his sub are no big deal and their defense despite now having Mangala isn't that deep in the bench. We have better backup FBs, better backup defense (if we count Iva there), we have better backup midfield (Ramires, Oscar, and even Mikel don't compromise playing in the midfield) we have better AMs Hazard, Schurrle, Willian, Oscar, Cesc (who can play #10) and Salah is better depth than they do. And even their strike advantage - as proved in today's match - is now smaller (or maybe even nonexistent) now that Negredo is off...

But maybe I'm missing something (no sarcasm) about their bench... how are they better than us? I'd like you to expand. Maybe I'll agree.
