Back to back defeats for Frank Lampards Chelsea.

They were poor though only saw the last 20 or so.

Read somewhere they haven't beaten a team in the top 10 yet

Great break and finish by Neto, although Zouma might have got a little tighter on him. He's fast though.

75 points will win the league at this rate!

Dara O'Shea was superb in a well drilled West Brom defence tonight.

Sam Johnstone was brillant as well in nets, 2 great saves in injury time.

Pep is finished

Yep.

No call for gloating on the part of any rival fans tonight. All of the top teams are dropping points all over the place.

Only saw the second half, but I don't think I've seen as dominant a half of possession as City v WBA. Official stats was 77% for the game, it had to be well over 80% City possession for the second half. Yet they hardly created a chance until injury time, when Gundongan and Sterling both missed sitters.

West Brom defended bravely, especially O'Shea, but they were chronically bad the few times they had the ball.

Chelsea have won 6 matches in the league so far against the teams placed 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th & 20th in the league but Frank continues to be immune from criticism.

Not from Sid

I don't mind him but I think that job is above him at present. Whether that changes over time I don't know but Chelsea should be way better than what they are.

Teams like Everton and Wolves are not undeserving winners against Chelsea. A few years ago results like last night would just have been a blip whereas now they're the norm.

It's not like they're not spending money either.

You're obsessed with Frank.

Like Ole & Arteta he's done nothing to warrant a chance of the job he's in, expectation for Lampard should be greater given the extent he's backed and the squad he inherited.

Watched the 2nd half of City last night, miles off where they were 2 years ago. I don't think all their issues will be solved by buying a top class centre forward either, they've got more issues then that.
