Match Thread - City V Chelsea (1st leg FA Youth Cup)

How a yellow wasn't given for the foul on Diaz earlier I don't know. We get ref'd the same at all ages by the look of it, ah well I suppose we all want consistency

clear yellow. I'd like to hear his explanation of why it wasn't
 
Chelsea definitely playing better, we look nervous at the moment, maybe we need half time just to calm down.
 
Chelsea look the more physical and athletic side, we seem more technically with it.

Our keeper looks confident with his handling.

Hopefully a bit of guile can get us going to the bridge in front.
 
Our lads aren't strong enough to take the ball under real pressure from the Chelsea players, they let us play out because they know that when the ball goes into Smith, Nmecha, Brahim or Foden, in a position where normally we see them take it on the half turn and start running at the defence, they'll win the contact and get possession back.
 
Poor so far. Wrong decision making when we're in final third coupled with allowing Chelsea far too much room on the ball and in wide areas.
Hopefully just nerves and they'll play themselves into the game.
