A lot of these decisions are just baffling.

Who was KDB intending to pass to there?

He‘s made more poor /strange decisions in 42 mins than I‘ve seen him make in seasons.

How is that not a yellow card?

 

[youngbob]

God this has been so fucking flat. Massive second half needed.

 

[TinFoilHat]

No card from the Bottler. I am shocked...

 

[TFC]

Was that yellow? If not, why the fuck not

 

[B\connellblue]

Our set piece coach definitely needs fucking shooting. For fuck sake that is bollox

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

What was that blimey Foden

 

[upb78]

Bobb and Doku should've been playing from the start

 

[Chak19]

So the new way to play against City is just kick the fuck out of them becasue these dickhead refs will never book you, fuck off.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Walker looks like he is playing with a beach ball.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

No card, no surprise. Oliver ****.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Pep needs to get the smile back on his face or at least not look so flaming worried. The lads need to feel the Boss trusts them 100%!!!

 

[paulchapo]

They need a rest. Rodders has said he needs a rest, Kev asked to come off v Madrid & Bernie has played way too much.

They should not be starting for me
Kova, doku & Lewis will do a better job today

Rodri got a rest, a week. It's modern football if you're successful. It's a punishing schedule but they're athletes with the best of everything in the world. Diet, training, recovery treatment, the best. We weren't complaining we were tired last season. Football is all they do. They're not working a 12 hour shift then playing the same night.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

we never seem to give our guys a chance to get their head on a cross...wasted free kick, straight out

 

[Goater=Legend]

God this has been so fucking flat. Massive second half needed.

Theyre absolutely knackered, what were you expecting?

 

[hertsblue]

Started the same as the same issues of the season, we cannot get a shot on target (0 from 5) and opposition have no issues with thiers (3 from 4) plus the usual crap set pieces and the ref not booking opposition players

 

[wolviedinho]

Tired that’s all. If we can’t cut these players some slack after everything they have done then it’s a sad state of affairs tbh.

Come on city

 

[Bluemoonie92]

We are lucky Chelsea are wank

 

[madloaf]

Honestly we're so tired mentally. Fresh minds needed.

 

[jollylescott]

To be honest I was surprised that none of Doku, Rico or Bobb didn’t start.
