    Been a good tempo to the first half, Chelsea been a lot more positive than I was expecting.

    Great hearing a lively crowd again

    The lack of protection in that city midfield is clear to see. Can see Rodri on at HT for Silva. 

    Obviously I had Werner fgs the useless mug.
    FGS today Is tough - there’s so many you could have gone for (22 in fact!).  I’ve gone with Foden…who just missed his chance.

    There’s been great moments from nearly every English player in this opening half hour.

    Been a decent game so far. Much better than most major finals tend to be.

    Yup, it’s brilliant. Usually the first half in these type of games can be very cagey with two teams scared to concede. Great to see two sides continuously go for goal as soon as they’re in position.

    Really hope that Man City dont opt for Rhodri or Fernandinho at HT because of these Chelsea counter attacks

    I think it’ll depend on what the HT score is

    Christ Werner is a limited player

    Looking forward to it, don’t get to watch many games, so nice to have this free on YouTube. 
    I can't find it on YouTube at all.
    I just typed in champions league and it was on BT Sport channel at the top 
    Not for me. It must be because I am outside the UK.

    Such a simple ball. Do feel City defence have to do better

    Great ball from Mount. Can’t say I want Chelsea to win but they’re decent value for the lead.

    Been opened up a few times all too easily

    Hope we continue to see this open football rather than Chelsea sitting back

    Cant believe how easily Zinchenko gives up... Could he get back on the line or try and block if he'd kept going?

    Pep’s team selection was a risk, it will be interesting what he does now, as 1-0 down you don’t normally want to bring on a holding player

    Gotta say I think Sterling is really starting to look out of place in this side.

    A lot of tidy footballers and putting him wide really slows down their quick interplay at times.

    Foden wide and they’d look better

    Chelsea deservedly in front.
    Should be more than one if Werner didnt finish like Soldado!

    Sometimes the counterintuitive thing is the right thing to do. Man City need to get control of the game before they can start thinking about a come back. I don’t think they’ll do that if the remain this open in midfield.

    I remember we did it once, years ago under Pardew of all people. I think we were 2-0 down to Sheff W. He brought Semedo on at half time but it totally changed the game, we got on top and managed to win 3-2.

    Chelsea press really well. City keep getting caught on the counter. If Werner was half decent Chelsea would be well ahead.

    good game .. City look very slow and vulnerable in central defence. Chelsea could/should be 2 up .. Chelsea
     are also defending well .. Aguero to come on in the 85th and score the equaliser ?

    De Bruyne unusually quiet?
