    Boufal changed the game when he came on.

    City have so many players forward, they set up perfectly to put pressure on all our midfielders, so we have to drop deeper and deeper. Then it leaves us with Tadic and our striker too isolated up front.

    It's a funny one, before the game I thought we'd nick a win, half time I thought we'd manage a draw but now we are losing I can accept it. As has been said, we've just been bettered. They've won almost every second ball and 50/50 too.

    Doesn't work hard enough. Tries a trick, loses it a jogs about. Rather see Wardy busting a gut.

    It's a shame that we have been awful against the top sides this year in the league.

    Not to worry you but I'm going to the Bridge and I've not seen us win away in the prem before! If it's any consolation my last game was Stoke away 2 years ago though (when Toby got injured).

    Bones of a very good team there, and I haven't written off Guardiola yet. If he loses Aguero for big money, finds some defenders, and gets Stones/Jesus playing well, they could challenge the top.

    Gabby can't change the game if he gets 0 service. i think he go the ball in the box once that i can remember and he created that Tadic chance with it.

    They're also on pace for 76 points as it stands, which is not a bad haul in any instance and a marked improvement on the year previous. Just so happens that it's a very top-heavy season...Spurs have been exceptional, and Chelsea's even better.

    All the current top four are good and have a lot of potential really, plus good managers. If any of these teams played last season I think they'd have won the league. Shows how good Chelsea are now.

    Good old stats. Pierre had third highest touches, third best pass accuracy and made the third most interceptions.

    Yet here am I thinking he had an iffy game.

    I think that is s little unkind to Leicester and kind of the comment I would expect from a pro big team pundit

    Iffy! Understatement if you ask me.

    And he was on a stupid yellow card (which shouldn't have been) which meant he and Pierre had to be careful with challenges in the 2nd half. Notice they got away with the one on Shane which injured him. Thanks ref

    I did not think he was that bad.was a bit slow in places and you can tell he is rusty as.i would say average game for him today.pretty much like the rest of the team.credit to man city tho,they were good and far better than us as u would expect

    He's going to be a very good player in my opinion. He has the technical ability but was put in too many difficult positions today and bullied off the ball. Really hope he gets a run next season as I do believe he's got it in him
