As gutted as I am, as much as I think the team selection was wrong(Sterling? No Fernandinho? Why?)... I really don't think it would a have made a difference. I don't think City performed tonight, they didn't play their normal game and it wasn't all down to how Chelsea set up. Even KDB was off form, Foden, Stones, Walker, Gundo all making mistakes too. It was another game where they beat us with not much in it, probably heading to extra time if Zinchenko tracked the run of Havertz.
It wasn't that they didn't care though, people can fuck off with that, they just didn't get going, trying too hard to force things, no fluidity to our play, our pressing and positioning was out of sync too. Which is why I maintain Chelsea weren't really that good either, they did just enough to go in front and defended well(easier to do when you have a deep line like they did for most of our attacks).
Wasn't our night, Chelsea just about deserved to win, still been a great season overall though.
