Shockingly predictable. Pep. Inexplicable selection of Sterling as a starter when his form has been dreadful for the entire second half of the season - yet Pep picked him ahead of Jesus. Pep's team choices in the last month are mystifying. Ferna on the bench? Start him and Gundog plays further up the pitch and better. Chelsea were by far the better side tonight, and most of our players went missing in action. Hard to take, but one shot on target over 100 minutes shows how effectively TT set up his side to smother City's natural game. Gave them far too much time and space on the ball, and they closed us down so quickly. That's the way to contain our creativity. Sadly though, City were beaten before a ball was kicked. Play your best side Pep - Sterling doesn't make that 11. Defeat always hurts, but it's even more bitter when it's partially self-inflicted. Letting Chelsea beat us twice on the last 6 weeks was setting the table for tonight.
