Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

[LangleyBlue1970]

Im saying ‘good’ to the comment that he is annoyed.

Apologies

Worst performance of this year by a distance. Pep sacrificed the FA Cup, 40 mins to turn it around, nobody on the pitch looked like scoring, Sterling having a stinker yet he played the full 95mins. Just didn't want to roll the dice with Bernardo and Mahrez incase they got injured IMO.

My feelings also, but to turn turtle in a semi final isn't on. Sad to say but if Pep didn't want the FA cup we should have done it the Liverpool way, not in the semi final. This clusterfuck of games every 3/4 days could bite us on the arse and see us winning fuck all.
Villa is a must win game IMO, come on City.

Both fullbacks and both wingers all out of form. Why play all 4? Why not put more subs on sooner? Foden is some player.

Sterling, mendy and torres not good enough. Jesus the same. As soon as I saw the team l knew we would lose.

mendy was to blame for the goal in not getting back around and he just let the chelsea player run off him
ok the keeper was also found out but mendy was so slow he was playing in slow motion

People are going to be in for a rude awakening when they see the team next week. The PSG game will be prioritised.

TBH if it means getting to the champs league final then I'd take a weakened team against the cockneys and hope for the best. I might be in a minority though.

Sterling has a 16% conversion rate so more like six chances to score one. Piss poor

its that good ????
got to be bollox that
biggest shit house iv ever seen at city in all my years for a so called big game/player

 

[bluemoon32]

How many games have we played more than Utd or Chelsea ?
Can't be that many more surely, we rest players yet still looked completely knackered today

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I'm not blaming Steffen but what was he doing for the goal

I am blaming Steffen and even he doesn't know what he was doing for the goal.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

I’m one of his biggest supporters, but he was awful today , possibly the worst I’ve seen him play for us .
Nothing was coming of for him .

He’s been awful for 18 months, superb player for us 2 years ago but time moves on & hes gone backwards big time, he needs to be sold in the summer if a team has more money than sense

 

[Fordyboy46]

That is complete bullshit. To me he always looks like he’s trying and is involved but keeps fucking it up.. if anything he’s trying too hard and ultimately getting it wrong.

Torres hid today.. Sterling didn’t. Albeit both were crap.

Torres constantly hides, looks a right moody lad as well. Could quite easily have been subbed 30 minutes earlier, so no idea why he looked so disgusted

 

[hilts]

For those who missed the game here are Raheem’s contributions

 

[Baconsane]

It was painful to watch. We never got going, and Chelsea made us look ordinary, without playing well themselves. Good performance from our oldest and youngest- everyone else- gash. Onwards and upwards, treble it is then.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

BBC website going overboard , three headlines "ending City's quadruple" their core Rag & Dippers cusotmers will be in click bait heaven.

Both fullbacks and both wingers all out of form. Why play all 4? Why not put more subs on sooner? Foden is some player.

That’s the thing I don’t get either. It is possible though that they had to play as everyone else was fucked. That’s what we don’t see. 8 changes and multiple ones of those clearly struggling did us

Bad wording on my part! The point referencing sterling related specifically to Sterling and was nothing to do with KDB. Sterling lost the ball, again, and then just started walking in the general direction of where the ball had gone! Never seen him do that before.

agreed Sterling did....but so did KDB and he did it numerous times...like sterling - simply not acceptable from wither of them today

just go back and watch the game and sterling ? he was coasting matey and did not care enough
he's leaving in the summer and will be use in a swap

 

[Bad Santa]

Just to echo what everyone else is saying, really poor today and no hiding from that! I know Sterling is woefully out of form and awful again today but for many saying he should be sold, have we learned nothing from the same when said about Stones last year when everyone thought he was done but came back to prove us wrong. He can come back from this, confidence is obviously shot but it can happen and wouldn’t surprise me if he did come back even though at the moment it seems grim.

More from Pep. ..

Answer to you Pep is "No they didn't".

 

[blue44]

The Leeds game should of been a clear wake up call to Pep about certain players and what they actually offer, lose the game and learn from it. But to do the exact same thing the following week and expect something different to happen against a better team in a semi final is poor especially after all the hard work to get there in the first place.

it was worse ve leeds though
they only had 10 men for 30 mins

 

[john blue]

Didn’t deserve anything. Pep should be starting strong team and then rest players for next weekend

Cant do that, it makes to much sense.!
