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

[Kinkys Left Foot]

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.

Hope he pick up another yellow and gets a red the ****.
That's a shithouse trick he's already picked up from these cunts.

 

[super_city_si]

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

Definitley NOT Foden. Id put grealish on for Doku first ans see how we fare

 

[Haaland94]

We need Jack's control here. Phil our best player thus far. Palmer acting like a **** with Ruben. He has a bad attitude, and I am glad we got rid of him.

 

[tweety]

Hopefully some changes to come, frantic football doesn't suit us, more midfield control and foot on the ball. It's still ours to win.

 

[PragueBlue]

Wrong set up. Ake and Grealish should have started and Kovacic in place of Alvarez.

Ake's injured. Agree about Grealish though.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Doku appearing as the Invisible Man.

No Jack, no control. Pep's been spending too much time reading shit takes on Twitter.

 

[Fordyboy46]

And Kovacic or Nunes for Alvarez, who has just vanished and is leaving Rodri entirely on his own in the middle.

Agreed

 

[Protein Junkie]

I do t know about Sky being pissed we are level but there’s enough posters in here who’ll be unhappy too.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Our midfield and back four were so poor that half we are making Sterling look like Messi. How come he never played like this for us against the Dippers.

Gvardiol had a terrible first half but Dias wasn’t far behind in the awful stakes. What has happened to him this season. He looks seriously out of sorts.

 

[Metal Biker]

I don't watch Sky Sports. Please stop telling me what some biased scouser is saying. Fuck the commentators...why should they get attention?

Simple, don't read the comment.

 

[Mancity1980]

And he celebrated pretty mildly. You took the piss out of him and laughed at him for Chelsea struggling so why would you expect him to show respect you couldn’t l?

If you want to get into racism He also got racial abuse from City fans so…?

You don’t know me, so don’t tell me what I did and what I didn’t do. As for your last sentence, I was not aware of that and if true I would be very disappointed.

It was gentle banter, nothing compared to the vile dished out by the dippers (and other opposition fans for some reason). We stood by him through all that.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

A City game providing a Desmond at half time just after our first penalty in 32years at Old Trafford, very strange times indeed

also known as a Ballerina.

 

[christened at st marks]

How long is John out for

 

[heslops barnet]

Not if opposition put 10 men on the box every single time.

Space is to tight….

 

[Stoned Rose]

Poor by our usual standards that.

Not first to the ball enough. Getting outnumbered in midfield. Allowing transitions.

Think we need another body in midfield. Either drop Alvarez in there properly or sub him off for a proper midfielder.

Can we get Fernandinho back for the 2nd half?

 

[JULES]

Julian very quiet first half

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

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

Well, great last 20-25 more like. It was pretty bollocks before that. Looking forward to the last 45 if this continues.

 

[KingGeorge]

Haha Pocahontas not happy.

I just don’t think his skill set is advanced enough yet for a game like this. We need Grealish

 

[Chak19]

Defence all over the shop but so are Chelsea, makes for an entertaning game but Pep will hate the lack of control, possible to see Jack come on at half time.

 

[clarion]

All good. Play simple and fight like they fight us.
Gvardiol and Dias ffs
