Match Thread | Man City vs. Chelsea FA Cup (20/04/24)

[LesBleuMiserable]

We are knackered. We needed a few more hours Kip the way we are playing.

 

[Longballutd]

Palmer wankathon.
We'll just ignore the fact he's done fuck all for 37 minutes.

Don’t curse it

 

[paulchapo]

This team is not going to help. Clear some need a rest when we have fresh players on the bench. Mental by pep today

He's given them a chance. They're fit professionals and they've had two days rest. Sure it's tough but they have to dig in.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This is always our hardest game of the season and the one we’re statistically most likely to lose because of the scheduling.

We need to calm this down and kill the tempo.

 

[lust overlord]

Ake slipping there ffs

He's not been the only one.
A few of ours struggling to stay upright.

 

[Beanhead]

This is pretty awful.

 

[domalino]

This match seems to be only going in one direction.

We’re going to huff and puff until they finally stop fucking up these counter chances. Then 10-20 minutes of us throwing everything at them for an equaliser that probably wont come.

 

[Blu1]

Rodders, Kev & Bernie should be not starting today & I can’t think of one reason they should be when we knew all 3 are exhausted. We also have 3 fully fit players on the bench who can offer much more today.

 

[stan bowles]

I hate these semis after the European games.

We should be playing tomorrow. No reason Rags vs Coventry shouldn't be today.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Palmer wankathon.

Just brushed Rodri aside and took a shot at goal.

 

[argyle]

Players look tired.

Doing some good stuff in attack just not taking chances.

Completely open for the counter but good last ditch tackles.

Stop it !!!

 

[deano ou812]

If Chelsea go in front I can’t see us hitting back,absolutely we need to grab the lead here if we want to see this through..

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Or simply out os steam.. we look so vulnerable again! Why dont we sit deep for 10 get a much needed breather

Possibly.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We just look very tired. That’s the difference here.

This is playing out as most of us expected.

 

[Gabriel]

Every player has made an individual mistake and everyone is trying to overcompensate by shooting from ridiculous angles or attempting the harder pass. No individual can win this game.

 

[plongo]

Clearly a lot of these lads - Walker, Rodri, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Ake, even Grealish - just aren't ready after Wednesday. Get it changed Pep. Fast. Or we're done.

Add Stones to that list

 

[Silva&Silva]

No idea why Doku got the nod over Grealish for this game.

 

[vmsuhail]

An end-to-end game will tire us more than them.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Rodders, Kev & Bernie should be not starting today & I can’t think of one reason they should be when we knew all 3 are exhausted. We also have 3 fully fit players on the bench who can offer much more today.

What's the point of having a quality bench if you can't trust them?
