While driving through our motorway system yesterday, the feeling wouldn’t go away that all would not be well when City paraded themselves at Stanford Bridge. We had seen Chelsea taken apart by Tottenham and fail to beat Wolves, so the signs should have been there that this was a match that was up for grabs. It was, but it was for Chelsea and not City.
Susan had smugly listened to Liverpool dismantle Bournemouth 4-0, four chances four goals, with Salah in electric form. So City knew what was needed to overcome Chelsea who are never an easy proposition on home territory.
