Awful at the back all game

Both sides, to be fair. Not a game for the purists, or lovers of great defending.

 

[footballmanager]

we been lacking a midfielder since the game started but ok

 

[youngbob]

Kovacic or Nunes for Alvarez. Needs doing. Just sit one of them next to Rodri.

 

[hilts]

Stones is such a huge miss

 

[brummie blue]

Gvardiol keeps diving in a getting exposed. He is a centre back who looks uncomfortable at left back. Ake is a better option there.

that's the trouble when you don't have a recognised left back in the squad and keep putting a centre half there.

Can see a palmer winning coming up

Sorry but this is on Pep. Should have tightened the midfield.

 

[Mancity1980]

3 goals, 3 individual mistakes. Happens, just annoying all in one game.

Chelsea have given us a good game.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Stupid from rodri

 

[upb78]

I don't see the Alvarez/Haaland link up play working here.

I think Foden/Alvarez are playing too far on the right while Haaland is moving too far on the left, they should get closer and let Grealish take the far left.

 

[WallyA]

tactical yellow of course.

This press is bypassed so easily by simple wall passes from Chelsea, the diagonal run from the wingers is so ineffective.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

WTF are we playing at

 

[Don Karleone]

Stinks of it

 

[Metal Biker]

Ball to hand and didn't stop a goalscoring opportunity, shut up.

 

[jimharri]

That's Rodri out for a game now.

 

[FatedBlue77]

Gvardiol’s been paper mache defensively today.

It is written

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Hopefully that yellow will convince Pep to give Rodri a bit of help in there.

 

[come-on-barney]

Sorry but this is on Pep. Should have tightened the midfield.

It’s not great tactically for sure.
