Chelsea (H) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

Well well well!!! We returned to a pre-Haaland formation & suddenly looked like Manchester City again! :-)

I was wowed with that first half display. I was surprised to see Gomez starting, but had my fingers & toes crossed for him, as he deserves a break. And he didn't disappoint! He was seriously dangerous in the final third. He gave a couple of balls away & was tackled a couple of times, but his appearance was very promising, especially with the business end of the season rapidly approaching.

Rodri was imperious, as was Mahrez, Akanji & Laporte. Both Foden & Alvarez grew into the game & acquitted themselves admirably.

Walker was the absolute business! He showed exactly what he could do, to silence all his doubters, & I couldn't be happier for him.

We played a 4-2-3-1 with a quietly effective Bernardo as a double pivot with Rodri, & it worked a treat!

Chelsea didn't know what hit them when the superb Mahrez free kick rippled in the back of the net. Lewis in midfield was delicious. What a player! It was also good to see Philips get some valuable game time & looking very good!

This is probably our most complete performance of the season & hopefully it bodes well. Even though we were at home & facing a depleted Chelsea, they had more than enough to combat us, so 4-0 & that level of performance is still a massive result.
 
Tough one for the beautiful bald genius. He's clearly trying to find the best system to incorporate Erling into, but the lad still scores hatfuls regardless. No doubt we looked better today, but he will still continue to twat about with the system as well he should. You dont have a weapon like Haaland and not use it. I dont envy Pep, but I do trust him to find the balance.

When we do, we will not be stoppable.
 
Disappointed we didn’t hit them for six, seven or eight. Obviously conserving energy for future battles but the cunts needed shutting up and reminding their fluky run a few seasons ago was just that.
