Chelsea (H) - Post-Match Thread

Tuchel said they deserved a draw.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

That's one knockout punch, and must be pretty dispiriting for the Scouse Reds too

 

[ScottSinclair]

I hope you know I'm joking.

You are european champions tbf, wouldn't be small-time at all.

Just a shame you are second best domestically ;)

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Come on, it’s not small time. It’s banter between 2 teams who reached the final of the Champions league.
If we had won the Champions league, our whole ground would have been full of those blow up cups.
These are the type of thing each and every fan loves!

Not as good as a inflatable banana though

He is deluded. We are where we are because we are better than them.

If it was the other way around you’d find it funny.

The small time bit was continuing it all game tho. You’re getting outplayed, 1-0 down, 13 points behind and you’re still going on about a game last year!

Yes but covid has been much kinder to City , allegedly .

Maybe God wills it.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Thought he was decent without the ball, but poor with it.

I‘d have shifted Foden out left, KDB up front and had Gundogan and Bernardo in midfield for the second half.

Foden wide left is the shout he could of caused all sorts of problems to Azpelicueta. Still get the feeling Grealish needs a more central midfield role. Time will tell.

Hahaha

Great performance, shows how the CL final could have gone on another day.

To see kev do that made the match for me, great moment and I intend to enjoy them all so much more knowing and having seen first hand that the Silva's, Kun's and Vinny's, and their significanct moments, do go away eventually.

Great win, done with great spirit and creativity, the hammer blow to Chelsea should see them out of it now, unless they actually relax and start playing again, but I see Tuchel is already blaming Lukaku so maybe not...

Your turn Jurgen. Want to throw in the towel and postpone now or are you going to give it a go?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Do not agree.
He led the "quick press" today and continually helped to stop Chelsea bringing the ball out.
He did come deeper looking for ball, but someone else (KDB or Bernado) then need to push into that gap.
His run in the first half with superb close control and a rolled cross into the "danger area" just showed how much we need a poacher.
Phil is regularly played out of position, but his energy and enthusiasm (as well as his undoubted ability) makes him an integral player.
Appreciate how important KDB is to the team, but I would sometimes play Phil in his position and KDB as the false #9.

Everything you say is true but doesn’t change the fact his touch was miles off his usual standards today.

Not even 2nd best

I’m a City fan.

Embarrassing interview

 

[Lavinda Past]

There's no bigger shithouse coach in football than Tommy Tootle. Anti-football wanker of the highest order.

Absolutely killed what could have been a really entertaining game. Even Burnley tried harder to score than Chelsea.

Three points, move on. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Dribble]

I’d have hooked Grealish for Gundogan at half time.

I'd have done it on the usual 60 mins. The game was crying out for Gundog to grab the midfield by the scruff of its neck. Pep knew best I suppose. \0/

 

[Octavian]

I’m a City fan.

Yeah I know I was speaking as if I’m talking to Chelsea fans generally

Ok

I'm still trying to think what the bananas were for...The Fyffes cup maybe.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Great win, loved in when Walker hit the afterburners.

Thought Jack was decent enough, but every single one of them played very, very well.

Razza gave them nightmares, deserved a goal, as did Phil.

Prem surely ours now.
