@trev33 saidChelsea were the better team on the day. City possibly suffered from too many changes, but Fernandinho really looked on the downslopes as he was basically done for pace by Mount in their battles and when City did show a bit of fight at the death Jesus was certainly no Aguero and couldn't find the ruthlessness to exploit Chelsea's decision to play Kepa in goal. I still find decisions like that weird in modern football and for me Kepa looked nervous and capable of throwing it away in the dying minutes.
I didn't see it, worthy winners? Fancied Chelsea actually, playing at home in the CL a day before City were away, plus the game being in London, more travel for City.

It's hard to be as interested in Football at the moment, VAR, Sky/BT fighting over everything and now the new CL plans going to be announced on Monday where it's going to be possible to finish below a team in the league buy qualify before them. Wonder if less fans will go back when stadiums are allowed to have them again.

Looked like your manager was correct to bring Rudiger back into the team when he took over. Thiago Silva looked like he had hurt his back at the very end so may be particularly important that Rudiger is doing better.

@relentless-red saidI don't get why they rested anyone, league is in the bag, when Utd went for the triple they played a full strength team against Arsenal in the Giggs semi, and were still close in the league. It just doesn't make any sense, surely your best team is still the best option after a Wednesday away CL game. Guess Aguero is injured, wasn't even on the bench I see.
