Chelsea (a) post match thread

Wouldn't say he was abysmal but having the shit kicked out of you all night and ref doing nothing about it doesnt help
I don`t think there`s ever been a bigger fan than me,than King David.However in that first half he really was poor and virtually non existent, but he really was far better in that second half but not like the David I know and love.
Of late I don`t think I`ve ever seen him put his foot in so so much,but for some reason he just wasn`t himself.He certainly wasn`t the worst player,but we need players like himself,KDB and even Fernandino who just didnt do enough on the night.
OK maybe I`m being a little harsh but I still think that Chelsea were there for the taking... and not for the second time this season.
 
Comments I heard from Chelsea fans as I legged it for Tube:

Made if hard for ourselves

Thought we were gonna lose

Didn't play well but won.

Same old story for City tonight and it won't change until we make more changes to the squad. The manager knows what he is doing but he is hamstrung by not having players that he can consistently rely on not to cock-up.

We need them to bring their A-game out in the FA Cup and not make too many errors in the league.

Get the transfer business right in the summer and we will win the league next year.
Tube? Bleeding nightmare, we walked to Parsons Green after they said Fulham Broadway had no services on. Then they cancelled services from there eastbound so had to walk to Putney for the train from there .
Game was typical of our season. Plenty of Chelsea supporting tourists in our section. Good drink around Earls Court beforehand though.
 
Was a yellow at worse. A cyncial dirty trick but there wasn't much force in it.
He stamped on Kompany's knee after the ball had gone with no attempt to play the ball, it's a red card all day long. If he'd punched Kompany would you say it was a yellow?

What a strange thing to say. Of course if he had punched him that's violent conduct. He didn't. BT Sport's Howard Webb reviewed it afterwards and he concluded it was a yellow card offence because there was no force applied. I agree with him. A typical Costa foul, but I wouldn't say it amounted to a red card offence
 
And to think some comedians thought we could win at Arsenal and Chelsea.
The team lacks character, fight and desire and just like last season cannot win a big game

14 points behind Chelsea with the team we have = pathetic and the team has arguably regressed from last season under MP.
No it hasn't. It's much better than last season!

Webb didn't know how to apply the rules of the game when he was a ref and nothing has changed, it's retaliation/striking another player off the ball and a mandatory red card.
 
After all, that worked out so well this season.
Last season ended with an ruptured thigh and operation. if he finishes this season with a run of form then Guardiola has a decision to make. He and the player will know when the season ends what his chances are for next season

Whether he finishes with a run of form or not he hasn't lasted a full season for 5 years, he's not reliable.

It was sly dirty foul intended to get the player to react, but on its own I don't think it amounted to either violent conduct or serious foul play. he was trying to get Kompany to react.

The player and coach will have a good idea whether he is over his calf/adductor problem. You don't know. Neither do I.

He struck another player off the ball. Go read the fucking rules of the game on fouling, it's a mandatory red card as is any instance of deliberately striking an opponent with no intent of challenging for the ball. You want an example of the rules being applied properly? Beckham and Simeone, 98 world cup. Hardly leg breaking force that one was it? Yet since the ref wasn't that fuckwit Webb Beckham was correctly sent off for deliberately kicking out at an opponent in retaliation.

A retrospective ban will do us more harm than good seeing as they've got the rags coming up... so no doubt he'll get one

He was fucking useless tonight and the rag defenders are well able to bully him, probably six in one and half a dozen in another, I hope the **** gets banned, he's a nasty sneaky fucker who doesn't get a quarter of the red cards he should.

How would they now know whether he's over it? Clearly nobody has known in the past. I think the likelihood is everyone knows relying on him is a huge gamble, and nothing more than that.
 
What is our attempts at goal to goals scored ratio? Pretty poor I'd think - another 14 tonight for 1 scored.
