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

[Keeper!]

Kev’s been appalling.

We look tired. Changes needed.

Rodri should be nowhere near that pitch, he's shot

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Need to utilise Kova, Bobb, Nunes and Lewis to freshen things up. Don’t want Rodri getting injured out there. Stones was worryingly knackered.

 

[I'm Blue]

Saying we've not had a shot on target.
Alvarez's shot that hit Kev was on target and Kev had a shot blocked that was on target.

 

[Bluearmy]

Bobb couldn’t possibly half done less than Bernado did in that half.

Why he hasn’t played Bobb or Doku on the right is genuinely perplexing.

Completely wrong team…. Bobb, Lewis, Kovacic and Doku could all have started and none have. Even if you dont start all of them a couple surely must after Wednesday

Akanji pushing into midfield while stones remains deep marking Jackson is frankly perplexing

 

[hateutd]

more stressed than derby day.... the whole team is feckin tired.... we need all our luck today,otherwise.....

 

[bluemoon32]

Bernie off, love the guy but he has offered nothing 1st half

 

[Tricky_Trev]

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

Tbh history tells us we are often crap in this fixture. The CL kills us for it.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Can we stop the useless crosses from shooting positions?

 

[Eccles Blue]

Will someone please tell Natalie that there’s a T in City it’s not Ciiy it’s CITY!!!

 

[Tolmie scores]

I do wonder why we didn't start with Lewis, Oscar and Doku - at least they've got some freshness about them.

Probably lose the ball loads but might as well try 'em. We are going to lose like this

 

[Revolver]

Ridiculous that we are playing so soon again.

We look tired in legs and mind. Really proud of the lads but this game reflects others in important game.

Lot of effort but no spark. And also no luck.

I fear the worst

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

 

[OrigamiNinja]

0-0 at HT can be two good teams cancelling each other out. Not today, two poor teams doing next to nothing.

We look absolutely fucked.

Stones might currently be the slowest thing on earth, on two legs. He’s either injured, or can’t be fucked. I don’t like either.

Walker looks likes he’s never kicked a ball before.

If Bernardo fancies bothering his arse at any point, it would be useful.

Grealish has been the only one that’s been anything like good enough.

I know we are tired after midweek but maybe if we are THAT tired, others should have started. I would have happily tossed this game off in favour of the league.

 

[1961_vintage]

Stones and Grealish have done well. The rest not so.

 

[ftg6]

This is shite. Half way up 113, behind the goal. Area was pretty much sold out in the 3 FA cup games criteria. And yet it's full of half a d half scarves. Asked the guy in front of me how he got his tickets and he said he bought em on live football tickets, sold by a season ticket holder. What the fucks that about. Such a diluted atmosphere today.

 

[Roachy]

Stones all over the show, with Walker not far behind

 

[Keeper!]

Will someone please tell Natalie that there’s a T in City it’s not Ciiy it’s CITY!!!

Citie

 

[give it to gordon]

Can't believe the negative on for this team team. Fucking hell the best team for years playing on empty giving their best. Some fans don't deserve this team.

 

[bert38]

We look absolutely exhausted

 

[sh249]

Bobb couldn’t possibly half done less than Bernado did in that half.

Why he hasn’t played Bobb or Doku on the right is genuinely perplexing.

He‘s obviously gone for those who he thinks can give us some control (Bernardo, Grealish, Rodri, Stones etc.).
Not really working but I‘m sure that‘s the thinking.
