Chelsea (H) Post Match Thread

[Dr Jacoby]

We had to get through a 5 man defence and at the same time be careful about Hazard, Willian and pedro breaking forward. We were excellent today and tried our best to get that second goal. Jeez what do some fans want ? We've had 3 games in 7 days.

I’m not criticising our play or intent at all. But it’s difficult to wax lyrical about our performance when the opposition plays with such a defensive mindset.

Chelsea were reminiscent of us under Pearce when faced with playing against a top side. I don’t care that they made it tough for us to score; it was a truly embarrassing display of football. If I were a Chelsea fan watching that, I would have been furious.

Yes it was harsh considering we just comfortably beat the champions both home and away. It's ever since Pep came my standards have gone higher so I'm just expecting too much i suppose. We were brilliant and Chelsea never really troubled us, that should probably have been my first sentence after the game. It's the pressure of wanting to win everything I'm really feeling it and getting nervous for games more than any other season.

Are you for real or just a piss take?

A good end to a good week. Determination and work ethic ran through the team. We’re like Jack Russells in a pit full of rats.

Good to see "Big Dave" doing his interview in English. And yes; I know he's done bits and bobs before in English. I just love the guy.

Best city player EVER!! (In my humble opinion) :)

Top Performance. Chelsea were a complete disgrace. Tough day for Conte. We will break the 95 mark i feel. A century would be awesome

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Phenomenal performance.

Everyone is contributing now. Bernardo and Gundo hitting their groove. Laporte settling in. All at the right time.

Time to close out the league and focus on winning CL.

We've played the reigning champions twice and they've barely laid a glove on us in either game. Today was magnificent. A total team performance with nobody under an 8 out of 10. Although I have to join in the criticism of Chelsea for not having a go, fair enough at 0-0 but once they were 1 down, to make no changes until the 80th minute was baffling.

 

[Marvin]

Is Conte trying to get himself sacked? Hard to rationalise why a team which was desperate for a point leaves it until the final moments to bring their centre forwards on when 1-0 down.

City worked incredibly hard but when we saw that CFC were intent to just sit deep, we just decided to pass it back around the back and why not.

If I was a Chelsea fan I would be very concerned watching that. Arsenal have got problems, but Chelsea's are much worse.

I never thought, I would see the champions of England shit themselves against ickle Manchester City, oh how times have changed.

We did what was necessary to win. It was a tired performance. Phenomenal? Far from it

 

[Fame Monster]

We were class as ever but Chelsea were shit and Hazard thinks he's bigger than the club. Cheeky £30M bid at the end of the season?

 

[Marvin]

I think there's more going on at CFC than meets the eye. That looked like a manager who knows he's been sacked, or maybe wants to be sacked for the payoff.

This.. They shit themselves. Did the same at The Bridge too.

I'e been Banging on for years about Tyler the "How many times can I mention my Beloved Rags in a Game they're not involved in"? Forget his Agueroooo moment he is a Nailed on Rag!!! Who needs to Retire from Sky sports Aka Mutv.!! I Call Tyler & Neville Pinky and PERKY!!.

Ironically, most on rag café cant stand him and think he doesn't have a good word to say about them. Perhaps he's just a contrary annoying twat. Auditioning for Talk Shite maybe.

That makes sense. Go thou and sin no more blue.

I don't know that we can beat Barca, RM or whomever, but I certainly think we should all feel we are as near (or at) their level as City ever have been. I assure you, none of those teams want to face us either. We have one trophy, another one in the mail and a really legitimate chance to be Champions of Europe. I'm still pinching myself that this is real. No nerves -- just enjoy.

 

[Don Karleone]

Is Conte trying to get himself sacked?

I honestly think he is.

 

[roj]

Cold-ish, wet night at the Etihad. Always tough. Fucking pussies. You’d’ve thought they’d’ve put miles more pressure on Zinchenko after Moses waited 5 mins for his slide to reach him to get the booking.

Unless there's big changes in the Summer there with a big name manager, I think he will leave. World class player like that. Absolutely no chance he'll let his career drift.

There should be massive alarm bells going off at CFC now. It would not surprise me if Conte is fired after the Barcelona game.

 

[Barcon]

He'll think he's bigger than any club he goes to.

 

[Mainstand 65]

Both will extinct soon :) when we lift the trophy.

PINKY and PERKY on Sky have and always will be sat in commentry with their Red & White scarves and Glasses on! If I do have to watch on Telly I turn volume down!CTID.
