Aguero and Fernandinho both suspended for City vs Arsenal. Could be another title killer for them.
 
It was later on, but Leicester did exactly the same thing last year to make themselves title favourites. So yeah, that's where we are now.

Different manager, same players etc. They just don't learn. Same with their defeat to Spurs a few weeks back. Whoever is in the dugout, they just don't seem to give fellow big teams respect when they come up against them.

City going into the season with the rb/lbs they have and no real partner for Stones has come back to hurt them.

I know where you're coming from, and I agree (although I'd go further and highlight Stones too). But Chelsea have Cahill, Moses and Alonso in their back five.

Don't ask Kolorov to play CB. He's a poor enough LB, let alone CB. But as a LWB, in the position Sane (attempted to) play today? Kolorov potentially could excel in that role.

I think Bravo has turned out pretty bad too. (I thought he would be good, so I was wrong)
 
And that thing about Costa being an undisciplined maverick type has gone away now. Side-eyes to Aguero.

The problem Pep has, he has seen Kolarov legs have gone, so he doesn't like to play him as lb. Agree about playing him at cb is stupid though.
