This is just a crime, Chelsea_not_trying, precisely described by Jonathan Wilson of The Guardian,

There was a moment in the second half of Manchester City’s win against Chelsea – it was probably with about quarter of an hour to go...when Aymeric Laporte passed the ball to Ilkay Gündogan near the halfway line. Gündogan rolled it back. Laporte knocked it back again. Gündogan nudged it to Kevin De Bruyne who turned, looked about for a bit, and gave it back. They exchanged a static one-two and then Gündogan rolled it wide to David Silva who controlled it, looked up, waited...waited some more and then as Cesc Fàbregas wandered up scratching his chin, played it back inside again.

 I have never seen anything like it.
