They will probably get past R16 this season

Need to improve their fullbacks and Kompany. And need another CM. And then the can make some noise in CL.

Otherwise, same shit different year.

Agreed. Chelsea still have a better team and much more experience at the top level. Better defense and midfield while in attack they come short compared to City but they have the best player in the league in Hazard who can make great difference. Add to that a much better manager in Mourinho. The title is Chelsea's to lose

Which fullbacks they need to improve? Kolarov + Clichy and Zabaleta + Sagna all rotating is fine imo. We came 2nd with Flanagan, Glen Johnson and Aly Cissokho. Chelsea won the title by playing a slow CB at RB and a RB at LB who doesn't pass the halfway line to save his life. Laughing

They better spend their $$ on more important things than fullbacks.

Maybe in fifa.

In real life he's become the most overrated player in the world. Couldn't touch Joe Cole in his prime yet goes around as one of the best players to ever play at the Bridge. Joke.

Hazard is a great player, but he's definitely not better than Aguero. Not even clearly better than Silva, IMO.

For this year they are more than fine with their defense. Actually I'd argue that it's one of the best of the league. Kompany is coming back strong after suffering last year Zabaleta+Sagna are solid.

A thread about City turns into another discussion about Eden Hazard. Rent free.

The massive hate he gets highlights his quality tbh. That alone shows how great he is.

David "I never perform in big games" Silva and a Romario wannabe Laughing

. Except for an inform Ozil there is no one is PL who is on Hazard's level and maybe not even him. Except a 25-25 GA season from him so the haters shut up and get their shit together. The Belgian is a top top player, at least top 7 world wide. With scrubs like Sterling going for 50m pounds his transfer to Chelsea was more or less one of the biggest bargains of the century
