Chelsea (a) post match thread

[nmc]

Should have had a pen when Stones missed that sitter.
Kompany got hauled down by Cahill off the ball.
Funny no replays shown...

That's how Chelsea defend - it's allowed!

Another masterclass from the 'worlds best manager' and his merry bunch of gutless shithouses.

Didn't you get banned a while back for making exactly the same comments on a matchday thread?

I suggest you fuck off to the swamp (unless you really ARE a rag on the wum) and watch the scintillating football on display there. Then make some considered comments .

fine margins , we had more possession , more corners , more chances , but its quite obvious the Chavs were the far better team because they scored a deflected goal and a fortunate rebound from a penalty kick , whilst our goal was absolutely shite and dead lucky. That should satisfy all the fanny wipes on here.
Great to see vinny get a good solid 90 minutes and Costa didnt get a kick all night , thought Clichy and Stones were also excellent , merlin pick of the midfield but KDB needs benching some very tired performances from him recently . Sane was marked out of the game , Conte new he was the dangerman and had two players marking him all the game . The chavs showed a consistent line up and formation and 20 less games with a good manager will win them the title , think we will stuff them in the final at Wembley though

he's instilling a work ethic and philosophy in this team that hasn't been seen before...ever... he's not got the players at his disposal. Next season will be a complete different entity. the players will know what to expect and if they don't like it they will be fucked off.

Hope your right pal cause no fuckers buying in to it this season

Good performance. One defensive error from Fernandinho. Thought we looked a lot more solid with Kompany there, but CFC were very much safety first.

Once again we look blunt up front. Aguero is too slow now. KDB wasn't great. Delph played well

yup, currently he is having to enforce his philosophy upon players like clichy, kolarov, otamendi, delph(albeit had a good game tonight), navas, yaya etc. he will know exactly the players he wants to bring in that will help us get to that level.

Right frustrating.
Big couple of weeks and failed to achieve anything like we needed to. Gutted. But can't fix that now. Fortunately rags are shit but
We have to go on a run of winning almost all of our remaining games which is doable.

Vinny looked good we did look more solid but fullbacks still very weak. Thanks Gael but don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Everyone is writing this season off and there has been a change in how we play compared to last year but bloody hell we are 1/3 the way through the time we have with one of the best managers in the world.

Typical bloody city.

Let's go win the FA cup. Chavs in the final and finally beat them.

 

[RayCTID]

We had Chelsea worried, Manager and team for a lot of that game. The difference was Hazard so why so much anti Pep, kdb etc, etc?

This and only this. Just missing that little bit of good fortune that the top teams have.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Chelsea demonstrated perfectly how to defend a lead.

That second half was very much like the Liverpool game, just never looked like breaking through.

More depth needed as quite simply not enough options from the bench.

It's not difficult for the better teams to defend against us though is it? Once they're defending a lead they know exactly what we're gonna do, so just get your players behind the ball and wait for it to break down. Rinse and repeat.

 

[super_city_si]

We are the best team in england by a mile but somehow we have conspired to throw away a tonne of points and have been fucked by officials all year.

Chelsea took 6 points from us and we were better in both games no doubt.

Shit dirty clubs like Spurs we have thrown away easy leads.

Really frustrating.

We are nowhere near the best team. We have some of the best players butb a team we are not.

 

[oddfellows]

The only thing Costa kicked was Vinnies knee. 1st class ****.

 

[malg]

Been saying this for years same old shit outswinger from Silva with nothing different just throw it in all from the tactical master Guardiola

For the fucking life of me I don't get why he takes corners, or free kicks. For someone so 'gifted' his corners are utter shite.

 

[Burtonblue]

That's how Chelsea defend - it's allowed!

Ah of course
Silly me

 

[James Edwards]

Same story made chances can't take enough of them stones missed from bout five yards out though he wasn't the only one we might keep forth maybe if we are very lucky

 

[cookster]

enough with blaming pep, chelsea have the far superior squad then us right now\

conte wouldnt be anywhere near where we are if he was in charge of this team

And yet we've outspent them over the last 6 windows. Go figure!

 

[Gordyola]

Winds me up the way City fans are like "oh that's how it's done look at Chelsea... blah blah Italian"... I don't watch football for good defending or examples of how to squeeze the life out of a game(which they did in that second half) anyone who tells me that can sod off we don't want that shite at City we want fluid attacking brilliance, total domination of ball possession. I'd be disappointed to see us waste a whole half to hold on to lead like that and not stick to our beliefs of how the game should be played.

Me too I hate this modern football, playing on the counter just like last season's champions it's not difficult to organise a team to play like that but I hate watching it

 

[nmc]

It's got to the point I don't get excited about a corner anymore it's a fucking hindrance

We have historically been pants from corners...

 

[BlueTG]

Navas 1 trick pony.

Mike Dean please retire.

Not too much wrong with him tonight, can't pin our failings on him this time.

I'm glad he wouldn't. Chelsea play some shite football

But they've scored more than we have, conceded less than we have and sit 14 points ahead of us. And have you watched some of the dull sideways backwards shit that has sleptwalked us to 1 point or a loss many times this season?

When you're winning, your team is functional and you're top of the league - your supporters are happy, and if you think the style isn't "mind blowing" you tend to not give much of a flying.

 

[RayCTID]

Good see Kompany get 90 mins

Yep Kompany's return is another be a boost for the run in (and with a bit of luck Gabriel Jesus returning)

 

[IWasHere]

haha you are out of your mind if you truly think there manager is better then pep....conte has more quality over the pitch then pep has here

^ agree.
Look at our bench tonight...only sterling could've made a difference. Our squads shit so im not surprised we are where we are right now.

This summer we have to spend big to challenge for the title...can't wait till the deadwood leave this summer.
