Exciting start to the match...on a free to air channel in France, so good chance to watch and brush up on my French thanks to the commentary. Not wishing to reinforce stereotypes, but I've heard the phrase 'ooo la la' twice whilst typing this message. Chelsea have a good chance, shot saved.
It’s on the YouTube BT sport channel for free if you can stream that on your telly and want the incredible insight of Glenn Hoddle and Steve Mcmananmanamanaman. City with no defensive midfielders, Chelsea pushing into the gaps, loads of space in front of the defences for both teams, Werner can’t buy a goal.
James seems to have sterling's number.... Big chance for foden...magnificent defending by sw6 centre half
Got it, Werner is the new Fernando Torres [Chelsea edition]. Guaranteed to score the winner now, sorry. City playing with five attackers and no number nine.
Can’t really see how City can set up more offensively to get back level.* Not sure why but my neighbour, a Portuguese scum supporter (lovely bloke in all other respects) seems to be seeing this a few seconds ahead of us, heard his bellow of delight while Mendy still had the ball, and knew what was coming. Sterling doing his finest SWP impression this evening. * oh yes. Sergio Aguerro. Get him on for Sterling and get Foden on the left, De Bruyne in the hole.
Just started watching. I'm wondering whether Pep has done another of his 'too clever for his own good' tactical moves? No holding midfielder seems crazy.
