Liverpool aside, Chelsea found great balance. Really solid defensively both to control the game at times & when under pressure they dealt with it.

Also, they exploited City's centre-back weakness. They used their cryptonite which is pace. Pulisic a big part of that. #CFC
Only thing is that both teams have exerted themselves ahead of the FA Cup QF. No injuries but perhaps tiredness with fewer days rest than the opposition. #CFC #CHEMCI
Both goals were calamities from Man City's point of view though, so Chelsea were certainly helped out with that.

Vital three points. Five wins in a row now for the Blues in all competitions. #CFC #CHEMCI

Exclusive: Thiago Silva is expected to be out for up to six weeks with an injury to his medial cruciate ligament.

It isn't ideal but at least he has avoided serious injury: standard.co.uk/sport/football… #CFC
Thiago Silva will be out until after the international break, missing a minimum of four games. Possibly up to six matches.

A blow mainly because, for me, he has been Chelsea's Player of the Season.

However, there's now a great chance for Wesley Fofana or Benoit Badiashile.
I thought Fofana was good in the circumstances away at Tottenham, while Badiashile has started well even if he has had the odd shaky moment.

England and the other six (Belgium, Dutch, Swiss, Germany, Denmark, Wales) release joint statement saying they will no longer risk wearing the 'One Love' armbands after threats of sporting sanctions for captains. They are frustrated FIFA ignored their written request to wear it.
FIFA win the political skirmish but it only serves to highlight the political mess between football's governing body and European nations. England will find other ways to support the LGBTQ+ cause in Qatar.
There's no way teams can go into matches with any player already on a yellow card for 90 minutes.

Then there's the issue of accumulating cards. If you want to succeed at the #FIFAWorldCup, you can't risk it.

Checkmate FIFA to stop the 'One Love' armbands.

Harry Kane on wearing the 'One Love' armband against Iran: "I think we've made it clear as a team, staff and group that we want to wear the armband. I think we are discussing it with FIFA but we want to wear it." #FIFAWorldCup
Gareth Southgate reiterates what Kane said and then the world's longest question is asked. It has been going on for about 2-3-4-5 minutes.
Southgate on Iran: "I understand the frustrations from your team, it is a very difficult situation. I have been asked a lot of political questions down the year. There's a responsibility on me to answer some of those questions. I have a lot of respect for our opponents tomorrow."

Todd Boehly dropping bombs @SALTConference: “We’ve talked about having a multi-club model. I want to continue building out the footprint. I think there’s different countries where there’s advantages to having a club.” #CFC
@SALTConference Boehly: "I think Tuchel is obviously extremely talented. He is someone who has had great success at Chelsea. Our vision for the club was finding a manager who really wanted to collaborate with us. There’s a lot of walls to break down at Chelsea." #CFC
@SALTConference Boehly on Tuchel: "No one is right or wrong, we just didn’t have a shared vision for the future. It wasn’t about Zagreb. It was about a shared vision of what we wanted for Chelsea Football Club to look like." #CFC
