I've never watched Chelsea play so well like they've done thus far against the Manchester City side. They are playing so well like a team, have had very few chnaces on target but, those chances where so precisely created, missed such great chances like the one with N. Jackson but you can find them finding away to always go forward and having a well coordinated backline.
All that have turned put to be very resourceful especially those runs from the side that catches the Manchester City defence unaware, enabling Chelsea to create those one on one goal opportunities with the goalkeeper and Sterling has got his goal.
The final whistle is gone and Chelsea takes the lead in halftime.
I quite agree and I feel they will really mount more pressure on Man City if they can be able to maintain this pace. First time in a while I'm seeing them take the game to the citizens and aren't being intimidated that it's at the Etihad. Coupled with the fact that Liverpool and Arsenal and even Aston Villa won their games, it's making Man City desperate for a goal and I'm sure they'd bounce back in the second half, my hope is that Chelsea don't give them that opportunity.
If they lose this one, they still have two outstanding games and that will give them hope to at least get close to Liverpool, thats if the latter lose two of their games which can be highly unlikely because even Liverpool knows how much competition they are in and would not want to slip. Can Chelsea push the defense of Man City and get another goal or can they hold on to this one?
