Chelsea (A) Post Match Thread

Sorry, stats mean nothing when the blokes giving the ball away on the edge of his own box 3 times in the first 30 mins, he's a massive liability.

Laporte was benched for less

Rodri was poor in the first quarter,he was put under immense pressure by Chelsea and that brought about mistakes.He got to grip with things from then on in,and played very well.

Not sure why you needed to mention Laporte in your reasoning?

So so happy finally having the old Sergio back!
Only an experienced striker and true killer like him is able to score our 1st goal like he did - back to goal, wonderful turn, perfect finish. I love you Sergio!! GET IN!!
Err what?! Oh wait!..

rodri is a great player but can place miss passes, when you do that in that role it can cost you ? but like you said once the team settled down it took the pressure of him and chelsea had to defend for their lives

That first half reminded me of our 18/19 team. Solid at the back, complete control and clinical in the right moments.

He wasn't, you need to put your bias down.

From the MoTM thread....

yes and it’s been most of those were him trying to recover from ballsing it up first time to begin with. If it’s my bias then how come it’s the only negative talking point from so many different sources? He’s woeful and on another day could have cost us massively. Playing well once we’re 3 up doesn’t give him a free pass mate.

Fyi the goal area is the 6 yard box, not the penalty area. The placing of the free kick yesterday was wrong

In my defence it was nearly 2am when I checked the laws! Thanks for the correction, Altyfan must have got his areas mixed up as well.

Yep. Good honest player without histrionics of Grealish.
in fact, i can't think of a worse signing for us than Grealish. Off field bother. on field cheating and comes across as arrogant (i may be totally wrong on this). That's 3 sticks to beat us with.

Grealish and the rags are made for each other!

 

[Vienna_70]

Scousers and the odd lot still have to play each other twice, starting with their next game. We should be aiming for maximum points from the next six league games, five of which are against teams in the bottom seven and four of the six at home

Is that a line of double deckers I see queuing up outside Etihad?

Haha more like Devonshire Street bus depot

No sign of @Cityinmud this morning?
Must've worn her keyboard out with all those pre-match posts slagging off Zinchenko.

Typical american twaddle
