It seems that playing with second-tier players will not make Manchester City lose against Chelsea and that is quite evident with the narrow victory that the Cityzen won. The only goal scored by Julian Alvarez in the 12th minute was also the winning goal for Manchester City at home. Without any gaps from Manchester City and with the solidity they have on all fronts, it is indeed very appropriate if they win the EPL this season.
I felt shammed today as a Chelsea fan, it would had been bettern if Pep Guardiola used his stronger side and beat us 3:0 then what happened today with his weaker side. This wasn't even his second tier players, it was a mixture of his second and third tier players and some fourth tier if we revisit the line up. Chelsea has been so poor that we couldn't score against a city side that hasn't played together this season. It was a clown show and sterling was the only player trying to proven himself on the pitch. Others were a waste and now I understand where the problem is coming from, it's the manager (Frank Lampard) fault as he's clueless both off and on the field.
How can you playing against Manchester city and you're not using your best players, who are you reserving them against when we have nothing else to play for, for this season. Why didn't he start the players we spent million accumulating in the summer and January transfer window. After seeing Chelsea lineup I was disappointed to watch the game but got some relief to see Manchester city lineup although I asked myself what if Pep Guardiola decided to play Haaland and the rest of the stronger squad players, they would had destroyed Chelsea. Lampard is a mistake to this club and I'm sorry saying this but he should never coach any club again.
