Chelsea (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[KS55]

Poor defensively. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Still, top of the league eh?

Should be ahead by more

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

On balance I prefer the opposition to park the bus than drive it through our midfield.

A game where we missed the cool head of Gundogan.

 

[Don Karleone]

Feels like a loss that

After how shit we played, I'm okay with a point.

 

[Kippax77]

Enjoyed that. Nothing separated the sides. Bernardo my MOTM.
It wasn't wrong to sub Doku, but may I know what control did Grealish bring to the game ?

Think he settled Chelsea down

 

[hertsblue]

Gifted them the point, Eddie giving a goal away with keeper basic 101, dont push the shot in front of you and thats the worst i have seen us defend esp Dias and we just cannot keep a clean sheet these days.
Last few minutes were totally unprofessional, why is Walker taking our free kicks, totally baffling and the balls we carelessly gave away at the end was shocking game management

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Didn’t like seeing Sterling telling Foden to get up after he’d ended him. Silly ****

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Going ahead 3 times and not winning is disappointing. I thought Chelsea were pretty average the other night and personally think we should be beating them. Palmer can fuck off as well the little twat scuffing the spot.

 

[come-on-barney]

Grealish should’ve started :(

Totally, don’t play him against Liverpool and we are in trouble.

 

[skillman]

Even when Rodri scored, I had a bad feeling about it. Way too open all game and Pep did nothing about it.

No idea why? Maybe because we were getting joy on the counter but not as much as they were.

Frustrating really.

 

[bluke]

One of the most exciting games of football I have ever seen. Unforgettable. The stuff of legends.

 

[Mancity1980]

Grealish should’ve started :(

No way, would we had conceded 4 with his control on the left. Doku doesn’t track back enough and loses possession too much to risk away to a good side.

 

[City Raider]

Stones makes such a difference in games like that.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Top of the league...

 

[stan bowles]

Better not play this way against the dippers

Salah will rip Gvardiol a new one if Ake's not back.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Picked the wrong team and then compounded that decision by defending like a bunch of strangers. Our press in particular was difficult to fathom; everyone apart from the back four was on their 18 yard box and once they’d knocked it over they were straight on to our goal.

Dias had probably his worst game for us in what is proving a poor season from him and Gvardiol perhaps isn’t as far advanced as we’d hoped. Wouldn’t be surprised if we go for another centre half in the next couple of windows.

Scoring four goals and not winning can’t happen if you want to win the league and we seemed strangely unsettled from the first whistle.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Liverpool are just as bad at the back.

Yes if anything It will be a very similar game wouldn't surprise me if it finishes a similar score line either

 

[kanovic]

Dias at fault for 3 of the goals, their 2nd he fluffed a clearance from a simple walker knock down header when he had time to control, stays on his feet for second he clears it, reckless challenge for their pen... worst performance ive seen from any city player in a long time

I’ll say 2 goals bc gvardiol was responsible for the Sterling on

 

[homerdog]

A few posters learning a good lesson that not every player who leaves the club is shit.

Ooh, you're so hard!

 

[heslops barnet]

Sometimes you just have to say fantastic game, could have gone either way, well done both teams, a draw is fine.

To sensible…….
