Match Thread | Man City vs. Chelsea FA Cup Final (16/05/26)

No matter what happens between now and the end of the game this team selection and set up is another cock up by Pep.

 

[lust overlord]

What is it with us f.a cup finals and lethargic performances.
Must be having pre-match spliffs.

 

[Tomblue]

How many first half performances have we seen like this one this season. Slow and ponderous. It’s almost like the tactics are don’t try and score first half just try and tire them out by passing side to side.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

the formation is not working at all

 

[Vester]

If we could start creating some chances that would be great.

 

[blue moony]

Marmoush has been a disgrace

 

[Lemon7277]

Over thought a final again and freezing in this one again

 

[Robanompivenov]

Marmoush needs hooking. Offering absolutely nothing, nothing to connect the lines with him in the team. It looked like a weird call and it's been proven to be one.

 

[pbueno16]

I’d be tempted to not even bother pressing them. Just deny Caicedo, Fernandez and Palmer and let them go long.

 

[skillman]

Colwill allowed to make whatever passes he wants. Terrible marking in midfield so far. Bernie and Rodri don’t have the legs together when games are like this IMO

Marmoush pulling out of a challenge

He’s completely bottleless. Heart of a mouse.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I want to see more pace and urgency.

 

[Mr HJ]

They are a team with no confidence and this lineup has allowed them to grow into the game.

Marmoush is letting the game pass him by - you'd think he'd be really up for it but sadly not. Cherki should be on for him to control the tempo of the game.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Absolutely no cohesion, just very disjointed.

Whenever Rodri gets ln the ball, he's instantly scanning for a forward pass, but there's no one in space or available.

Marmoush pulling out of a challenge

Soft ****

 

[wolviedinho]

Doing good just no goal again.

Same story all season.

We should be ahead here easily.

 

[deano ou812]

Reminding me of that Porto final this,game for the taking but we fuck about ..

Ffs Palmer haircut , bowl cut

The formation isn’t working
Not surprised being the first time we played it

We've played it a couple of times before and it was towards the end of the worst period of the season, just before he started starting Cherki and Khusanov every game. No idea why we've reverted to it

 

[blue_danube]

Cherki on for Marmoush

Not sure what the plan was but it's not working.

Our attacking play looks exactly like I knew it would when I saw the line up.
