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

The lads look both knackered and demoralised after Wednesday

 

[Fordyboy46]

As expected a totally lethargic first 45

 

[paulchapo]

Pep should have known they would be tired.

Does he have so little faith in Bobb that he couldnt let him start with his full energy?

This kind of handling of our youth has been one of my only gripes with Pep with his time here.

It's a big call. These players battled through on all fronts last season. If he'd made wholesale changes and we were 3-0 down now there'd be uproar.

 

[Stelea]

Dreadful. Get some legs on

 

[Metal Biker]

For all of Chelsea's "threats", they've not actually done much.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Two words. Fucking abysmal.

 

[deano ou812]

Being stitched up again with decisions by cnut of a ref ..

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Was thinking the same. Can't begrudge this group of players looking tired given everything they've given us over the last 12 months. Be nice if Pep can squeeze a half here, and maybe get some lads with energy in their legs on the pitch.

Don’t want extra time

 

[dannyboiblue]

We looked knackered thought this is how it would go. Need changes

 

[homerdog]

Kev potential penalty, no replay, hmmm.

 

[Don Karleone]

Got to HT, which is a plus. Pep has to make changes, they're blowing out of their arse.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Done well there to get through that

We are blowing though

 

[Phoenix900000]

That was a slog

 

[stan bowles]

Kev and Bernardo off. Kovacic and Doku on.

 

[dickie davies]

We've got this Blues

 

[kashmir]

Look shattered

 

[Tolmie scores]

Peps face says it all

His job to change that.. body language is everything.. we look like we are wading inb treacle.. been like this for all season really. Amazing that the rest of the league are poor and we are still in two comps!.. Foden miss fkin ell.. that 2nd touch should have been to roll the ball in!! If we come out with the same team than fk me. That seems nieve!

 

[Silva&Silva]

Feel sorry for the people who forked out money to watch that 45.

 

[Gorbachev]

Pep has to make changes or we are going to be shot again against Brighton, of whom are going to have near on 2 weeks rest going into that game.

 

[give it to gordon]

Two words. Fucking abysmal.

You do know we played 120 minutes on Wednesday ?
