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

What? No way, another dive.

On second viewing it was great defending

 

[Mancity1980]

We need half time.

 

[mattyads]

Pep’s not got this right, needs tweaking, before it ends up the type of game we have seen a lot of this season.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Shite.

Foden or Cherki for Marmoush for starters.

 

[Gibblue]

Why does everyone say ffs khusanov on here, like he's out of control. It's a quality shoulder barge in a contact sport

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Never a pen. Khusanov does perfect there. That is textbook in terms of of how you defend that situation.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Letting them play here

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

And to think I'm opening perfectly good beers to watch this. A game for tea and biscuits and a short nap.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

I fucking love Khusanov

 

[Gabriel]

the amount of times Bernardo gets caught with the ball there recently...

Twice the other night.

 

[Dazzle84]

This is a really weird system, they're playing around us and then just dropping off when we have sterile possession. Phil's performance in the week deserved better than being benched for this. At least he'd fucking close them down a bit

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

We have been in control 90%. They have turned up to keep it tight and get us on the counter. We need more creativity, so Marmoush unfortunately is not the right player for today

 

[heslops barnet]

the amount of times Bernardo gets caught with the ball there recently...

That’s why he’s offski….

 

[dave_blue12]

We have given Chelsea every encouragement. Time to get Cherki on and take the game

 

[TFC]

Alright lads, we need to fucking wake up here. Khus, strong mate well done

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Terrible first half that. Woeful. Got to make a change. It’s just not working this.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Clear to see Pep’s Marmoush gamble hasn’t paid off, need more creativity in the middle

 

[handsofstone]

Haaland needs to be stronger there, not even trying to win the ball

 

[ScottSinclair]

We've dropped to their level

Not enough technical players on the pitch

 

[Semper aggressus]

That was bollocks. Need changes at half time.

Cherki on for Marmoush. And be more fucking aggressive.
