Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Chelsea (04/01/26)

The amount of slagging off people do about their own players. Only two players in the past 15 years have been class pretty much game in game out.

 

[Revolver]

Cherki sometimes dwells on the ball too much at times but he tries to create things and doesn’t hide.

 

[Ajm1985]

Much better team. Lethargic start and not a massive fan of the right hand side but we've dropped them a bit. Rodri is god.

 

[bluemoon32]

Please no going to sleep in the 2nd half

 

[Allnightlong]

That’s one of the most incompetent referee performances I’ve seen. Three shocking challenges and one didn’t even get a foul let alone a card

Would like to see a closer look at the one on nico

 

[BenMeeOver]

Surely we have grounds against pgmol at this point. It's every fucking game we're getting 7 shades

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

This reffing is a travesty. How they have no yellows is a joke

James should have been fuckin carded around the 20 minute mark - we'll get the first yellow as per!!!!!!

 

[BlueEagle]

Good half, but refereeing abysmal (how the fuck did he give that handball against Foden and no bookings), and Gary Neville talks absolute shit going on about tactics when Pep has forgotten more about football than he’ll ever know

 

[pbueno16]

Their defenders can’t actually defend but don’t think this game is going to open up enough unfortunately

 

[denTTony]

2 mins FFS, their keeper time-wasting from 1st minute. They could have had a couple if yellows too

 

[homerdog]

cherki has been so poor

Listen mate, I was going to tell you to fuck off, but are you okay if I just put you on ignore? FFS!

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Oliver a total disgrace

They've put some snide and dangerous tackles in and he needs to be booking the cunts.

 

[domalino]

i just don't know how "things are going really well" means "you mustn't point out any downside erling haaland might have in his in box movement". i just don't see the relation, sorry.

1) Haaland doesn't have any problems with movement, so your point is bullshit anyway.

2) It's fucking boring that <5% of the people on here come to the match thread and whine and moan about absolutely any and everything real and imagined. You're desperate to be miserable, you seem to think we start every game 1-0 down and the game is a disaster if we don't score in the first 15.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Rodris quite good ain't he.

 

[chesterbells]

That's why Phil doesn't use his right foot except for walking.

Left foot outside of the boot instead then?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Please no going to sleep in the 2nd half

Who ?? us or them...

 

[Brewster's millions]

If Rodri can stay on the pitch until the last ten minutes or so, and Doku has got half an hour or so in him, then we should be winning this comfortably.

Good to see O’Reilly looking a lot sharper so far after a couple of middling performances.

 

[Protein Junkie]

foden and cherki both abysmal.

What’s the score please ?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Semenyo and Doku on, please.

 

[p.taker]

See Phil is missing his hand bandage today has he finally got it better !

At this point I figured he was hiding greyscale like Jorah Mormont
