Only turned on at 40 mins, has the atmosphere been that quiet all game?

Most 12.30 kick offs are the same unless its a derby.

Chelsea fans have actually been understandably appreciative if not raucous, I feel for leicester.

True, this one just seems stark for some reason. Even had the missus comment on it!

Burial.

Nice touch by Costa and Hazard in their celebrations to Willian.

Lovely assist there

Harry Palmr

Leicester are just not at it at all, the defence has been exposed and Raniari is making some odd choices.

In fairness they were never going to close to what they achieved last year.

I thought at the start of the season that mid table would be a really good season for them.

When was the last time (before today) a WM formation was played from the beginning of a Premier League game?

Vieira has been using it over in America. Pep just being a follower these days.

Pep used it at Bayern on a semi-regular basis.

Coleman lucky he didn't get a card for that challenge

I'm sure Fergie prefers watching city over united nowadays.

Agent Coulson

City have a pen saved.

Very weak pen from De Bruyne.

LuckyGent88

Absolute brainless pen to give away.

Missed though

Harry Palmr

Joe Allen is on fire.

LuckyGent88

2 pens saved.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Jagged challenge...again.

Aguero missed peno...again.

Lukker-

Jesus City must be on record to break the amount of penalties received in a season. And the amount missed.

Andersonisgod

Goal Nolito! Pep smells blood.

Bret Hart

Leicester

How many is that Aguero has missed this season ? 4 ?

Yeah.. real killer instinct today

Man city are due another penalty, it's been over 5 minutes

Harry Palmr

Last season Man City failed to convert 3 of 8 this season they've missed on 4 of 6 so far.

Did anyone mention Mike Phelan is the official manager of Hull? 5-1 down

West Brom scores

City will most likely have more penalties over the course of the season.
In the games we're seen so far, they have more possession than their opponents, and are in the last final third more than their opponents.

Even today, they have more than two thirds of the ball. Its just common sense that they will get more penos. They have the ball in their opponent's box quite often

Osmosis Jones

That was some acting from Barry, took the shoulder, had a think for a moment, then slowly crawled to the floor as if he'd been knocked down.

Hoof ball pep with Kompany upfront

Haha desperation from Pep putting Kompany up front.

I'm sure we'll be told it's tactical genius though.

City in Crisis - all of them (bar Stoke)! :pac:

Bret Hart

Well played Everton.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Revolutionary stuff from the Man city manager to stick a big man up front and lump it in to him.

No wonder England are struggling to find a decent manager when you see the stoneage tactics being used. Coaches in england really could learn from some foreign coaches who'd never resort to such basic tactics.

Speaking of outdated things...

Btw you'd swear Pique or Boateng were never occasionally sent up front when the situation required. Some people must not be watching the manager they criticise so much very closely at all.

Oh no , I've seen Pique and Boateng go up front like that, it's just that from perusing through the internet I got the distinct impression that certain Catalan mangers influenced by the teachings of Cryuff were purists of the game and would never sully themselves by resorting to such bogman football.

You can teach a young dog old tricks after all.

Arsenal have it in the bag.

Burial.

De Bruyne was a joy to watch in that game, stunning player. He'll be kicking himself over the penalty though, as will Aguero who really needs to get his sh*t together from the spot. He used to be a dead cert from there up until recently.

I thought De Bruyne had an awful game. Only watched 70 mins though.

Gbear

City wern't great there but they really still should've won that.

You cannot go around missing penalty after penalty. Shouldn't have sold Jimmy Milner.:P

DeBruyne was just OK, but anyone listening to Carragher would think he was the greatest thing ever.

Ridiculously harsh red card for Cresswell. First yellow was ridiculous as it wasn't a dive, second one was harsh in it's own right but at least you can see the logic for it.
