Chelsea (A) Post Match Thread

[Vienna_70]

Ratboy has found his level talking with hindsight as he has a proven track record of failing to deploy the tactics necessary to win a game of football.
A biased, clueless Rat faced twat stealing a living and from what I've heard he's finding it even more difficult to hide his obvious bias.

You missed out 'rag'!

“City have been scabby“

“Foden not playing enough”

“Chelsea won the second half“

“Not to be a party pooper, but City had a long rest before this game“

Sounds like quotes from a rival team’s forum but it was the match commentary we were treated to tonight.

Don’t forget ooooooos and repeated suggestions that Rodri’s clearly good challenge was inside the box and a penalty. As a contrast MOTD have just called it “great defending”. Also when we went 2 up they described it as rope-a-dope.

not sure if ive done this right :)

Kevin De Bruyne on Twitter: "I guess @PhilFoden was happy with my goal! https://t.co/LlfCEGn3uy" / Twitter

Love the passion.

In a word "brilliant" g r eat performance under the circumstances and can forgive the goal at the end, game was won.

That was such a poor disguise of institutional bias.

No disguising the bit where commentary was 'praising' Cancelo by selling the fact that he looked worth every one of the 73million dollars we paid for him.

I mean, fuckinghell - next they'll be telling us the non-net price in yen or vietnamese dong - and making out like he cost as much as pogbad.

Like most on here I was absolutely thrilled with what I saw today. We had that real incision back in the final third, the pace and intent in our passing and also off the ball was back and virtually every player looked in really promising form.

Other than that really eye catching first half, we showed some real defensive grit and organisation throughout that had Steffen a virtual spectator for the entire game. Dias and Stones as a partnership looks really hopeful, the former having the real look of a leader (with or without the armband). That late goal will have hurt but that shouldn’t take anything away from how well the team defended, controlled the game and attacked today.

All we’ve heard lately is Liverpool are in pole position again, Solskjaer making Utd a team to challenge for the title, Mourinho’s Tottenham having the hallmarks of a title winning side, even Everton have been getting more airtime about their title credentials than we have. All the while we’ve just been going about our business efficiently and in pragmatic fashion. This performance will give Klopp more sleepless nights than any other performance from any pretender to the throne. City showed tonight we’re no pretenders, we want our title back!!

Just two questions ;)

1, when Steffen picked up the back pass he was in the penalty box why was the free kick to Chelsea outside the penalty box?

2, when the Chelsea player took a corner kick and kick the corner flag as he went to kick the ball. Why was it retaken ?
I thought regardless of him kicking the flagpole the kick had been taken. Or did the corner flag foul him lol

Just one question;)
Who was the City player who kicked or tripped over the corner flag and got slaughtered for it?

Two very good performances on the bounce from Bernardo as well. What's not to like.
