Chelsea (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[TFC]

No, past players should never celebrate after scoring against their old club. I can't seem to remember but does Kdb ever celebrate when he scores against Chelsea?

I'm not as tribal these days as I used to be. Simply don't care much about that stuff.

 

[Bluewars]

That Doku chance at 3-2....he really needs to bury those. Very frustrating because he's got the shift and shoot perfected but no accuracy.

 

[M Gaudino]

Still cannot believe Walker took that free kick.

yeah how does this happen? our options were Grealish (who couldnt hit a shot surely) and Foden (probably best option) and so of course up steps Kyle Walker who is the shittest ball striker in the squad and by some distance.

walking away is Haaland who is officially the 2nd best player in the world and can hammer a ball with ease. same thing used to happen with Aguero - who i dont think ever took a single one

 

[MadchesterCity]

Just saw Gallagher didn’t get a yellow that game. WTF?

Madness, he had three yellows on Jack alone

 

[burning blue soul]

Entertaining game, but sloppy with 2 of their goals.
There's a lot to be said for keeping to our game plan. It seemed Chelsea moved us out of our comfort zone, coupled with shooting our own feet at times, we can take a point in relief and move on.

 

[citymad]

A crazy game, not like us to get involved in a cup-tie style game.

We looked vulnerable when they played it quick, Dias shaky all round and one of the hardest afternoon’s Kyle has had in a long time.

Thought we were on top in that second half so gutted to get pegged back.

Alty gave us the penalty and next to nothing else. He repeatedly gave them advantage for nothing challenges and then pulled it back for the foul if they fucked it up. An identical scenario late on with Gvardiol was ignored.

What the actual fuck would Gallagher need to do to get booked in that game?

Forensic examination of our penalty as per the norm, “it’s soft” their staple go to.

A points not a disaster though.

Good post!

 

[hertsblue]

Raz should have seen red at the end too

Cucurella not booked for a blatant dive late on, unlike Doku also, but the usual Taylor officiating today with him being lenient on the opposition though no complaints re penalty etc

 

[eastmanc]

No Kev, Stones hardly played, top going into yet another fucking international break and qualified from the CL group...obviously would like to be 6 points clear but we'd all take where we are now when Kev was injured.

All day long.

Yes

 

[eyalluvitt]

Not that I’m bitter but it’s crazy that Chelsea’s 2 billion pound outlay has got them one home league win so far this season

 

[ancoats]

For the people not happy with the draw look at it this way, 1 point or 3 points we are still top of the league after an away game to an in-form Chelsea who are without any Mid-week European football. I think most football fans sort of Knew Chelsea would start to come good with Pochettino because he is a very good manager and they have some great players.

I still have to shake my head in disbelief at the way Manchester City has kept going over the past 4 seasons, It's crazy to think that we keep on going to the well with the number of games we play and keep producing results like today it's amazing.

No complaints at all please, just don your hats to Greatness

 

[NptonBlue89!]

Do feel as well ake was missed at left back today with his composure I think he would of helped calm our defence today

 

[big gaz]

Masters of our own downfall.


Fair play Chelsea, a good un for the neutral

Fuck the neutrals

 

[blue whippet]

It might have been a great game for the neutral but from our perspective it's two points thrown away. You just can't score four goals away from home and not win it's ridiculous.

For all the wanking about Gvardiol I'm not impressed.....and yes I know he's still settling in. The biggest problem is our midfield. Without De Bruyne and Stones it's as weak as fuck. Nunes and Kovacic are well below the level we are used to and as for Phillips, he's a lost cause. No decent midfield protecting it means our defence creaks when it's put under pressure and boy was it today. Individually and collectively they were shocking.

Looking on the positive side were still top by a point and we normally get better as the season progresses. I guess it's just raw after scoring so late not to win it so I may be being overly critical.

That's pretty much how I feel, midfield and defence were quite poor today. I really wanted the win too and it's disappointing due to our level of performance in those areas.

 

[eyalluvitt]

2-5 vs Leicester

Eric Garcia and three ridiculous penalty decisions?

 

[doots]

Had 4-4 written all over it

 

[SWPISHOME]

Well where do we start with that game, I'm sure all the neutrals enjoyed it. I prefer it when we keep the ball and dicacte the game pissing teams off personally :)

Anytime Stones is missing we look really open in midfield, Seems like it's just Rodri in their and nobody else, Especially when we give the ball away in the final third we are so open to counter attacks, When Stones and Rodri are in their we are much more solid and have another defensive minded player to sit.

When you score four goals in a game you should be winning that game of football, It's not like us at all to concede four goals in one game!

The bigger picture is we have gone away to Chelsea, Arsenal and the Rags now in the first 12 games and we still sit top of the league.

Hopefully Stones is back for the dippers game.

 

[RACHACE]

Sloppy game that the neutral will have loved but I feel a bit deflated as we led 3 times and couldn't control the game to secure the 3 points.

Top of the league going into the international break though so overall I'm happy.

I hope we crush the dippers in 2 weeks time.

 

[come-on-barney]

No Kev, Stones hardly played, top going into yet another fucking international break and qualified from the CL group...obviously would like to be 6 points clear but we'd all take where we are now when Kev was injured.

I also think we are in a really good position. However good they are, looks like the club recognise we need to look ahead with Kev and Stonesy. Think the West Ham lad will be here in January.

 

[Fat Freddy's Cat]

Still cannot believe Walker took that free kick.

Neither can I
