I think todays result just shows us how good City are. Absolute joy to watch and ruthless in attack.
Sarri won't change his tactics so no point moaning about that, but in my opinion, the players he picks for matches baffles me. I like Sarri, think we should stick with him, but he's got to be more flexible. If your players are underperforming, you have to drop them. You can't just keep playing them in hope they will regain their form.
Substitutions today also confused me, like for like changes again, 4-0 down! I just don't understand the thinking behind it, Jorginho clearly struggling so why not put Kova in his position and Ruben for Barkley instead of putting him out wide? Again, very puzzling.
We had a good spell in the 1st half where we played well but just couldn't score. I won't mention too much about Alonso because we all have eyes and can see the performances he's been putting in.
Hopefully we can bounce back from this quickly, move and and finish strong.
Chelsea, please don't sack another manager when the players also have a responsibility to perform.

Shows players either don’t believe is Sarri style or just not good enough to play it. ( I think the latter ) and shows they are mentally weak and shows the gulf in class between the clubs. Compare each position and kante and hazard only ones getting near that team, Barkley Pedro Alonso luiz should be as angry with themselves as I am because there not good enough today or v 90% of teams we’m Play against,

Putting aside his mistake, I thought Barkley was unlucky to be subbed today Matt.
{Ed025's Note - i disagree tom, he was poor all the time he was on for me mate..

Barkley needs to much time on the ball to have impact, or space in front of him. Won’t ever happen v city / arsenal / Liverpool’s,
