Match Thread | Chelsea vs Man City (12/11/23)

Doku having a very quiet game so far.

For us he’s a weapon v deep blocks. A game with transitions like this one is made for Grealish. Grealish needs the spaces to already be there, Doku is able to create that separation with his dribbling acceleration. It was a weird selection imo.

Mistake starting Doku imo today. Think Jack would have been better with Doku coming on for last 30 when they are tiring

Gotta give credit to the set piece coach!!

About time he’s been stealing a living…..

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Great match so far. Happier at 2-2. Big second half to come.

How the fuck are poch and pep rivals. What a fucking nonsense. You have to be close to equals to be rivals.

 

[wolviedinho]

That’s about as bad as we can play and still 2-2
-:)

 

[skillman]

doku is just trying to blow past everybody …he needs to be a little more dynamic …try different methods

Think he’ll develop the old 1-2 sooner or later. His burst of pace will get him in behind 99% of the time

 

[super_city_si]

Playing till chelseas attacks are over?

 

[platty7]

Tbf he had 2 defenders closing him.down

Maybe I should say expect him to finish that

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Sterling is destroying us.

 

[MCFC1993]

Just need to step it up 2nd half these are here for the taking.

Palmer is a fucking bellend trying to scuff the penalty spot as well. Shame.

 

[lonestay]

Sky getting a collective hard on every time JACKSON looks at the ball !!!

 

[nellyonthewing]

We had 5 against 2 in that Chelsea attack and they got a shot in .

How the fuck are poch and pep rivals. What a fucking nonsense. You have to be close to equals to be rivals.

But Pochettino got to a final once with an elbow goal and then cried

 

[footballmanager]

without watching the game id say one of doku/alvarez/foden should be subbed by a center midfielder

 

[stan bowles]

Get Alvarez off for Kovacic.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

how did they add on 50 seconds over the 6 minutes?....explain that, the second Eddy claims it Taylor blows

 

[Eoiyflem]

Think we've been awful by our own standards tbh, very fortunate to be level. That's Chelsea at 100% and us at 50% though. Hopefully a few tweaks and we start to impose ourselves.

Ruben and gvardiol need a good boot up the rear

 

[heslops barnet]

Doku has been trying to take on his man too many times. Just cross the ball in

Time and a place for taking the full back on……

We have defended poorly but i think chelsea have also played well.
