    Aguero on for Sterling the obvious one. Got a feeling it'll be Foden off though.
    Chelsea have been really impressive with the solidity at the back and the quick breaks. Like a poor man's Saint Johnstone.

    Aguero for Bernardo Silva. De Bruyne deeper so he can get on the ball and have someone to pick out.

    Sterling has done far more than Bernardo Silva.

    I’ve been well impressed with James. The shape of Chelsea and him doing a job on Sterling has completely nullified him.

    How they are dealing with De Bruyne is immense though, Tuchel’s a great manager.

    Guardiola is playing into Tuchel’s hands with De Bruyne as a false nine.

    De Bruyne should never be the false 9 for me. He's too good from deep

    He’s been picking it up deeper, the shape of Chelsea is forcing him back there with no options to give it to.

    Silva has been totally ineffective as well though, forgot he was even on.

    I’m well impressed with Tuchel’s approach here.

    I really dislike Chelsea but they have a very likeable team just now, which is quite annoying.

    I would have him as the 10 but just moving into the spaces he can do the business.

    Aye. Chelsea look * solid here, Tuchel clearly got the tactics right.
    City have to make changes now before it's too late.

    Aye, as much of a great that Pep is, sometimes he overthinks it and tries to be too clever and it bites him in the *.

    Tell you what, Lampard clearly can spot a player and knows how he should be doing it. Tuchel coming in shows the difference between a geeat manager and a canny one though.

    He needs to be playing deeper with runners ahead of him. The guy is a genius at finding players. Tuchel must have been rubbing his hands when he saw no striker and De Bruyne the furthest player up the pitch. De Bruyne has got the best vision of any player on the park, and Guardiola has him playing with his back to goal. It’s mental.

    Another Pep masterclass in overthinking so far.

    Not playing Rodri/Fernandinho and bringing Sterling back in is baffling.

    Chelsea look so comfortable it’s unreal.
