So, 9 points lead now being reduced to 1 point. It will be hard for us for the 2nd half of the season. Man City seem to gain form at the right time and at the right moment. Even without their 2 first choice striker, they still manage to grind out desired results.

It start to look that we are over relying on our 1st eleven. This cause them to be over used as of now and some do look jaded. Fab completed another full 90 and not to my surprise, it is that time of the season where Oscar start to dissapear.

Schurrle, Ramires, Remy and Drogba really need to start taking over some of the burden of the team 1st eleven.

Dissapointed with the result but in overall, I am satisfied with the team's effort. Maybe luck was not on our side as we showed a lot of desire to win the game.

He ran straight towards the dressing room right?

Silva is hitting the right form at the right time, scoring goals like nobody business.

Hopefully both West Ham and Burnley will come back in the game.....both also 2-1 scoreline now....

He want go berak. Cirit birit maybe.

IMO, out current play style is very different compared to several few games in the season where costa scores on a frequent basis. Last time, we used a lot of one touch football. Even Hazard refrain himself from dribbling much. And during that time, everything gose direct to Costa.

Nowdays, all our dribblers got the license to keep the ball. Even the wingbacks git that sort of freedom which caused Costa to be surrounded before he can do anything. And honestly, I start to sense some discomfort in him. He is still good but the team can make him better.

In the match at Soton, you can see we are niw playing for the beauty, not direct football. Even in half-chances, we opted to make a passed rather than have a go at goal.

Just my 2cent...

Please buy some players during winter window

The team do have the tendency of keeping the ball a little bit too long. Some time can deliver early cross but chose to wait end up soon defense all flooding penalty box.

Need a new right winger to cover willian

Yup. Because we comfortable with the ball, players seem afraid to shooting from long range. This moment we really need someone like frank lampard.

Jose need to enter for january window. For me, matic need to have cover and not Mikel to cover. Khedira best option.
RW spot still spot to grab and current players like schurle, willian not up to standard that hazard give on the left.

Got powderful right winger available or not?

Can buy Sanchez for 60mil or not? Offer 250k per week.

JM sure blame referee for not giving the penalty
I knew his pattern

now 2-2 manc vs burnley

go burnley go...

Come on burnleeeeeeyyyy!!!!

not just Jose, even the commentator and pundits also think the same..

soton def almost 9 ppl inside the penalty area.

and i see today match we play too much inside that box.
why not jus shoot.
damn it

overall is the good game.

we play very good in term of the ball flow and passing.

we are lack in penetration and final ball.

still can improve, well this is a festive period..always like this.

and yes, sometime we took to much time with the ball inside the box.

Fuh..hold on burnley..put those handbrakes on that bus

man city 2-2. got hope!
