Pretty dismal so far in truth.

Chelsea inning all the 50/50 battles

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

It's not even a shoulder barge. He gets his body in front of Pedro.

If we’re not careful this is going to go the same way of the Palace game.

 

[Gabriel]

Cagey affair. I don’t think one player has scored more than 6 in that half.

 

[Vester]

HT thoughts:
Positive - Chelsea are not creating anything
Negative - We are not creating much either

Sub Marmoush for Cherki and get som creativity on the pitch.

Shocking that. Watching paint dry more interesting.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

BBC have big chances for City as zero. That one for Haaland at Sanchez wasn't a big chance?

 

[Mr HJ]

I have to question why Semenyo has become so reluctant to go forward recently. This set up needs more from both Marmoush and Semenyo when we break. We are relying on all our creative play to come from Doku.

I'm sure Pep will change it early because he knows if they get a lead it will be a war of attrition. Cherki for Marmoush now then perhaps Semenyo off after 60 mins if he continues to be so negative.

 

[argyle]

Well that was rubbish.

Marmoush off for Foden, Cherki or Kovacic. He should go in the summer.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

No Cherki no good

 

[Chak19]

There's no creativity from midfield, Rodri and Bernie can't pass forward and Marmoush is not Cherki, so it's all on the wingers.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Haaland needs to work harder and actually challenge players and not always back off. Really not good enough.

 

[deano ou812]

If this same 11 comes out second half we’ll lose this ..

 

[Paul1970]

Need to really get out arses in gear as we could lose this . Wake up city as 3 final losses in a row is shit

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Hook Mamoosh, NOW

 

[madloaf]

A pep final disaster-class against Chelsea. Has an awful familiar ring to it.

[Fat Freddy's Cat]

Deffo time for baldy to go if the thought Marmoush deserved to start this

Cherki on the bench is funny as fuck. More ability than all our attackers combined and he's on the bench.

Fucking sort it out, Pep.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Could finish the season with 5 goals and 4 assists. Measure that up to a plethora of off target shots, misplaced passes and lost possession.

He’s got 12 GA for City in 24 appearances
