Definitely needs more of a run-off area at the ends. With players like Rudiger around it's a danger to opposition players when he dumps them into the advertising hoardings. As happened with Gabriel during this game who just happened to be lucky enough to get up and walk away unharmed.Never been to Stamford Bridge but it always looks a small stadium from the tv coverage - but one where the fans seem really close to the playing service
MoraesJust watched the full match on City+1
City were amazing, Chelsea like to moan at the ref ever 5 minutes.
The commenter on City+1 needs to learn the players names lol at one point he called Eddy , Mendes !!! Unless he was so far behind as to what was happening on the pitch.
You were lucky ;-)).At the risk of turning into the four Yorkshiremen:
I went there round about 2003 or 2004. we lost 5-0, I got a parking ticket and my alternator belt snapped on the way home.
I've been several times since but never seen us win there.
"Cardboard box?"You were lucky ;-)).
Sony, couldn't resist.
Saturday had definite vibes of the KDB winner at the Bridge in 2018 which really ignited our season, it was a similar statement performanceIt's funny how Chelsea has been such an important marker for us since Pep arrived. The centurion season, last season, and this season: always feels more than 3 points, it's the season, team shape and belief taking hold. Funny how that works.

Indeed. I think it is also fair to argue that the semi final and the league match against Chelsea were not our priorities at the time. We played the semi final on April 17, two weeks after the resumption of matches after the international break. In that time we had won a vital game at Leicester on April 3rd, then won at Dortmund 3 days later, lost at home to Leeds on 10th and then won in Dortmund on Wednesday 14th before travelling to London to face Chelsea. The week after the semi saw us travel to Villa Park in the league on Wednesday before heading back to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final against Spurs. With the league still open if almost won, two important CL matches played and a cup final it is easy to see why Pep had no choice but to field a side he would pick only in extreme circumstances. On 17 April City were up against fixture congestion as much as Chelsea.Two of the City v Chelsea games were 2nd City teams. Too much got made of Tuchel having Pep's number.
She is a full-on basket case. Madder than a fistful of shitI was reading Alyson Rudd's report on the game in The Times. Tuchel's tinkering was the cause of Chelsea's loss.
It was a column and a half before City got a grudging mention.
Had it been Liverpool winning there.............
