Chelsea (H) | Post-Match Thread

[BerkshireBlue]

I think losing this match is more beneficial to us now. Pep might have thought the final would be easy if we'd won comfortably. He would have also seen the problem areas out wide and will have a plan of how to fix it

Big game? , we are 13 points clear and in a champions league final,
Chelsea lost a centre half tonight as they are in high risk football till the final

we are not
They could potentially lose more players before the end of may or at the very least will be totally knackered

by the time we take the field at Newcastle we will be champions

by the end of May we will have a treble

enjoy the ride

pep and the team deserve all the credit for being able to play out the season this way

he knows what he is doing

everything goner be alright!

Don't like Panenkas full stop
The ones down the middle are hit half way up with a bit more force
Virtually impossible to stop
Trying that type of chip risks stubbing boot or studs.
Panenkas are grandstanding end of
Fun when you're 4 up maybe

Youre not a fan who gives a shit. I'm not a fan of scuffed one that don't go in the corner or ones that land on the moon. Checked this out and the one that actually bounces before it goes in. It's a valid penalty.

Fuck off Aguero. Thanks for the memories but that was awful.

Sergio’s a great player & has been superb for us. You’re a shit fan & need to do one

Christ on a bike, could someone please call rentakil? This place is infested with vermin tonight

Vermin with no backbone

 

[Akpowell]

They've beaten our second string - and only just both times

They had 4 of their bast players missing today

 

[CC1]

Hmm the media can say tuchals got peps number. More pressure on us.

Nah. They’ll be favourites now & all the pressure from media is on them

 

[Francis Crawford]

Since Yaya left, Our penalty record has been horrendous. We really need to sort this next season. We have had six different penalty takers this season!

Give it to eddy

Thats no excuse for what he did today

But if city had won today, Chelsea would have been under greater pressure thus exasperating the problems you mentioned, making it easier, no?

Looking at the player ratings on the Sky Sports app, some of them are generous.....

I think we all agree Mendy is Dog shit.

It is astonishing he gets to wear the Shirt,it really is.

I have seen junior School kids with better situational awareness.

He got rinsed for speed so many times i lost count.

Then he stated to just follow Ake around.

Like he thought fuck it,if i stand near Ake,he will pick up my slack.Why i think it was a bit cruel Ake getting stick,when he was literally covering Mendy,and his own position,and was clearly fucked at the end.

Two guys i have been seriously underwhelmed by this season are Torres, and Cancelo.

The very definition of La Liga players.

Cancelo makes a point of avoiding pgysical contact.

Torres just bounces of everybody that comes near him,and goes hiding.

A killer pass every now and again,or worldy goal is not enough for doing fuck all nearly every game they play in.

What does that matter?

It matters because he has been at three big clubs and last won it ten years ago. I just worry it's a mental block which causes him to overthink when sometimes he just needs to play his best 11.

 

[CC1]

It’s not as if he set out to miss the fucking penalty. He made a mistake - not often he’s done that, quite the opposite.

 

[OntarioBlue]

That’s your prerogative, of course. Thankfully no-one with any sense will be.

Yeah, having won the league for the third time in four years, the league cup four years in a row and being in the Champions League final, I have to wonder if the owners are considering Pep’s future.

Some people on here do spout some s..t.

 

[RayCTID]

I can cope with the loss.
I can't cope with Kun's penalty. Even if he had scored.
Those type of penalties try to take the piss out of the keeper.
That is not what we do as a club
It is not how Kun has been
It is more United than City.
If that is his last moment for us it would be a crying shame. Criminal even.
Hope he does his legacy justice in games to come.
We will always love him whatever. Just want a cherry on the top!!!

no

 

[oxopop]

Just out of interest who’s “the next level” after Pep?

Most of the journalists and gobshites on talksport,sky etc lol

Did he play his best 11 on Tuesday?
