Thought just like the chelsea game it home it was a performance deserving off a win. Given time and new fullbacks i think this has the makings of a successful team

Needless penalty and allowing Hazard so much space in the box and its going to be a tough ask.

If as Pep says we are not good enough at both ends then we need players who are.

We are not as bad as some make out but not competitive enough to challenge with the players we have in the current squad.

Again our record against the top half is woeful this season.

As many have said Chelsea and Spurs and Liverpool are average sides so it shows how far we have to go.
 
Not to disrespect previous captains this season, but it was great to see Kompany on the pitch. Not sure if it was mentioned already, but the one incident where Kompany was arguing with the crooked ref and keeping his teammates away was refreshing. Always rubbed me the wrong way seeing other teams do that and didn't like seeing City players doing it. Pep should have realized after seeing Kompany today, that he is the leader of this team and that quality should mean something when picking his team sheet.

Going off of that, who is the captain/leader of this team when Kompany is not on the team either this summer or sometime in the near future? I believe that is an issue up there with all the rest that should be addressed this summer. Wouldn't mind them getting a leader in the back and the midfield. any ideas how to address this issue? and who could be a player that would wear the captains band next?

It's amazing with how excited I was when this season started, that I now just want the fucking thing to end. I just feel so apathetic towards the remainder of the season. I would go into it but I really can't be arsed having to argue with the Pep can do no wrong brigade. Next season is make or break, the excuse of not having the right players won't be there so we will really see what he is made of. Maybe he'll even make a sub before the 80th min as well.

One of my guys is a German and a Bayern Fan, he asked me when Pep was announced how I felt about him coming.. ecstatic was my reply as the club had been set up for him...

He asked me again post Liverpool and said he knew this was coming.... I agree now the summer and the buys we make will be pivotal and determine whether he succeeds or fails next season...

I know, staying the bleeding obvious to quote Basil Fawlty but that's where I see this going...
 
What are people getting at saying we were the better side? And....we still lost.

I don't know what it is in all comps, but we're currently on 1 goal for every 8.72 shots in the league.

It is about time the "midfielders" started converting their opportunities.
Compulsory shooting and heading practice with two goalies just to make it difficult for an hour each day.

Once again we commit less fouls than our opponents but end up with more cards. I am amazed that Pep hasn't blown his top over the EPLs corrupt officials.

Chelsea demonstrated perfectly how to defend a lead.

That second half was very much like the Liverpool away game, just never looked like breaking through.

More depth needed as quite simply not enough options from the bench.

There is NOTHING scary on our bench. We needed a goal and have Nacho twiddling his thumbs. Could have taken Willy off at that point.
