Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea (15/01/22)

[Lavinda Past]

I think kev looks fit, hes closing ans running in to spaces, just his touch is nowhere to be seen

He's nowhere near good enough today. Far from top form, he looks very average.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Did Beglin just call us 'citeh'?

From what I’m reading on here, it sounds like he has a bet going on how many slurs on City he can get in in a live commentary.

Grealish is playing well. Sterling also. Keep banging on the bus lads.

Grealish wasted the best chance of the game one on one. He slows down the attack he is useless and need to be replaced by jesus

 

[MarsLlama]

When will it be okay to say that Grealish has been bad just because he's been bad? Don't see what things like that miss have to do with "settling in"

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Raz and stones have been great

Raz has been terrific. So good to have seen him turn things round like this. When things happen, it's been coming from him. John's been fine, but he's not exactly been under a lot of pressure. Tuchel will have to change things in the second half. That's when space will open up. Grealish to score!

 

[MCFC1993]

Like playing a lower league side with slightly more threat on the counter.

Grealish puts away that chance and it'd almost be game over.

Just keep going and the winner will come.

 

[Keeper!]

He's been decent. Not sure what people are looking at. Had a chance, set up kev for another. Hes doing a decent job for me. Hes the new FFS on this forum..

Decent?

Sorry he is a passenger at this time in this team

 

[Jag]

Ffs yeah. ALL HIS FAULT.

Let’s blame Mahrez, Sterling and Navas while we’re at it.

I'm not blaming him, I think he played well so far. However, you need to be able to take your man on if you're playing out wide and he doesn't have that quick burst in him.

 

[DMA's]

Get gundogan on for grealish push foden lw and kdb false 9.

 

[eastmanc]

Look, not many clear chances, but we are so totally comfortable in this game that Chelsea have not had a single shot, either on or off target. Draw's no good to them. Draw's fine for us.
All Jack had to do was let it run onto his left foot. He wouldn't needed any power. Three quarters of the goal was available on that side. Don't want to get on his case for that, though. These things happen.

Need to be taking that chance does our Jack.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Looks like a few scuffles in the away supporters area. Quite a few of them lot were giving it the bigun on the way to the ground.

 

[Mancity1980]

Jack picked his spot well but but their keeper got a touch on it. It was a good save more than a bad miss.

The keeper just about got the side of his leg on it, it more a case of making himself as big as possible and hoping for the best. I’m inclined to see as more of a bad miss, although I have nothing against Grealish and think he will come good in time.

 

[itsnevereasy]

Doing alright against a back 5 with two defensive midfielders in front of them.

 

[mcfc_ms]

We need to use the ball to Sterling a lot more. He’s done Alonso each time

Get Foden out wide and bring on Gundog for Jack or Kev

 

[youngbob]

Grealish is doing fine overall but should have scored the big chance.

Both of these things can be true at the same time.

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Been quite impressed with Sterling - pleasantly surprised - think we will sneak one through second half as they’re starting to sit too deep

 

[eastmanc]

Get gundogan on for grealish push foden lw and kdb false 9.

Yes

Chelsea parking the bus again

Never

imagine going on TV and saying your team was too passive in a home game due to the tactics then setting up to be even more passive for the away game. great manager
