The most embarrassing thing you can say about that is that we allowed Sheffield fucking United to come in to Stamford Bridge and totally dictate the game in the second half. Think about that. A newly promoted side came in and they forced US to adapt to them rather than the other way around. We couldn't do ANYTHING with the ball in that second half. Against a side that doesn't have a single player who would make our squad and after being 2-0 up! Azpi, I love him, I finished as a starter every week. Beaten easily for both goals. Sad to see, but he's a liability.

This may very well be up there with Bournemouth last season as the most embarrassing result I've ever seen.

This has somehow been even worse than that Leicester 2nd half a couple weeks ago. Just shocking.

Jesus fucking Christ! We must have a pass completion of about 10%! WHAT ARE WE DOING!?

Now 20 minutes in and we still haven't woken up. So bloody frustrating. We can't keep the ball in their half to save our lives.

Seriously, what's happened to Azpi? From world class rock defensively to getting spanked regularly. He's a total liability now!

And that's literally exactly what happens. AGAIN WE ALLOW A PLAYER TO RUN THROUGH LIKE 4 of our players!

Last thing we need now is to concede a cheap goal early here.

Decent but not great first half. We knew they would crowd the midfield areas due to their formation so it would probably have been wiser to start Willian in place of Barkley so we had width. Zouma is getting better and better and I thought Tomori was comfortable. Looks like he's been in this team for a while, actually. Kova and Jorginho running the game as usual this season. Kova looks like a totally different player under Frank. Crazy how much better he looks in this deeper role where he only occasionally bombs forward. The deeper role really suits him.

TAMMY THE ULTIMATE POACHER!!!

Barkley has misplaced every pass so far. Same old story with him. He's just not an intelligent player. Has all the physical tools but not the brain.

COME ON, BOYS!

We should be bossing the midfield with all these players in there but there's almost no natural width. Huge occasion for Tomori. Let's get 3 points before the international break, please! Would be great to go in with a convincing victory and then have 3 hugely imprortant injured players returning when we come back. Kante, CHO, and Rüdiger returning will feel like new signings.

Don't get me wrong, Sterling is a great player these days. But I swear it seems like 90% of his goals are from inside the 6 yard box. The vast majority come from stunning team play with him reaping the benefits on the end of them. Obviously it takes great skill and know-how to get into those positions, but you hear pundits and some fans calling him the best player in the league or the best winger in the world and stuff like that. Nah, I'm not having that yet. Still don't think he's on Hazard's level. Not his all around play. Sterling is a great player who is made to look world class in Pep's City setup. Hazard would be world class on any team whereas I don't think Sterling would.

Bournemouth seem to often give us a really tough time. But they are always City's absolute whipping boys. City are hardly even exerting themselves here and are totally dominant. Will say though that Nathan Aké has looked class as usual. He'll 100% get another opportunity at a top 6 club. Wouldn't mind if it were us.

In both cameo appearences so far Willian has looked like he could barely run. Doesn't look nearly fit yet.

Pretty comfortable second half in the end. Once again created many, many chances that a more clinical side would've buried. We could've score a few more. Happy for Tammy and Mason. Frank really trusting them must be such a confidence boost.

Our midfield defensively!!! 😂😂😂

Barkley has totally reverted back to his average self. He's been mostly terrible.

Tammy hasn't had a sniff since his goal.

Just look at their two goals on replay there. FFS, both times we had multiple midfielders closing down the ball and putting two man tackles on the ball and they're still able to squeeze through and score. It's ridiculous. No way that should be happening.

We create chances at will every game so far under Lamps. That marks a big change from last season. But the same issues with transition defense remain as well and that is our gaping weakness. We desperately need Rüdiger and Kante in the side to stop these ridiculous mistakes and lapses from happening with such regularity. Teams won't just stumble and fumble through us repeatedly with those two in our team.

The defense can't defend, we knew that. But all these goals are coming from our midfield missing tackles and them stumbling through them. Fucking infuriating, man.

Unbelievable. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

My god, another injury!? Fuck sake.
