City have been pretty lucky to avoid some draws in games they weren't great and scored late.

What the hell happened to Newscastle?

Defense turned into swiss cheese. The more nuanced answer is likely combination of many things: injuries, game state, being found out, not being able to overperform their underlying talent level etc.

Yes sort of my point. Still feel they end up winning 10 on the spin etc at end to win kt despite this.

Ya city have overall been very underwhelming this year. They lost too many attackers then stacked a kdb injury on top of it. Ultimately that means instead of being the far and away best team in the league they are merely one of the 3 best. City largely overrated by the markets purely due to reputation, which they've obviously earned, but if they don't go up a gear I think Liverpool or arsenal win. Kind of have the feeling pool gonna run out of gas with their fixtures / injuries.

I don't think I remember a year where there's been this much delta for so many teams between results and xg, happening across multiple leagues too. All the "top" teams, minus Bayern are considerably worse than usually but still getting results (Madrid/PSG mainly from other leagues).

How many of their first team yesterday would have got into even Arsenal's injury-depleted team? Two?

They outperformed their ability for quite a while.

Lol shu players fighting against each other

Thought this was a 2pm kick off, whoopsie

That looked not great

Nothing wrong with that goal

lol wtf

That’s got to be the worst decision ever

VAR GOAT

lol at all that celebration meaning nothing

Lol VAR what?

that should be every teams set play for the rest of all time if those stand. the offside pick play is like belichick in his prime.

I didn't have the sound on for that, was that disallowed for Endo obstructing Colwill or something?

That is a little flummoxing without sound

Endo was offside apparently

LOL yeah. Seems like you shouldn't be allowed to do that but also seems harsh that you can't

the american broadcast said endo was both offside and obstructing.

diaz is having a great game, but none of it is against gusto. chelsea can't seem to keep track of him once he leaves the left wing area.

Chelsea with back-to-back matchballs there

NO NOT CHALOBAH

AHHHHHH

What is it with Chelsea-Plop finals finishing 0-0 and going to pens

Madueke should be starting imo I say this every time he’s on the pitch

Can’t even be upset, Virgil hard carry
