Chelsea (H) | Post-Match Thread

[domalino]

You live by the sword, you die by the sword, that's our Pep.

We will win the league and we'll have a fucking good chance of picking up the CL too, I don't think Chelsea have any idea what's coming on the 29th.

I think everyone knows whats coming.

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Fernandinhi Gundogan, KDB, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden.

 

[Mayor West]

Do you stop and point at aeroplanes?

I do, what's wrong with that? Aeroplanes are cool

 

[CmonCity92]

Reese James looks to be a good player. Reminds me of Walker a bit but more reliable with the ball. He's a bad matchup for ANYONE we play at LB and I'm sure after his game today he will play in the CL final. Zinchenko as much as I rate him, will get run past as did Mendy.

 

[Akpowell]

Christ where have I said they can win it?
It’s a simple fact that we didn’t put in a performance that could have won the title today, not tomorrow, not next week but today.

First half we were alright, i think that mist pen fucked us up, It gave Chelsea a bit of confidence

 

[eyalluvitt]

We/Pep bottled a title winning game against satans 11 after being 2.0 up at HT with our first choice eleven so as bad a today was, it wasn’t on that kind of shitshow level.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Seems we’re at the point in big games, if we play a forward, we lose control of midfield

So why play 3??

 

[hertsblue]

Should have called Alti out and said happens too often with the same official

 

[chedinho]

Chilwell, Silva, Mount and Havertz ?

That’s a relief. Thought they had signed four Colin Bell’s.

 

[mcfc-a-ok]

I'm not angry .... I'm disappointed

 

[silvathechihuahua]

Disappointed but we need t

I would not be surprised if we hear about a few fights or a big argument after this.

There's 15 or so lads in that dressing room who have carried Aguero to the Premier league title this season. Carried him to a CL final. Hes been injured for a year and they've adapted and learned new roles and played out of position to put the team first without him.

And when he comes back and has the chance to put the ball away and win the league, get a big slice of glory scoring the goal that seals the title, he opted for the most selfish, "look at me" way possible and he fucked it. Not to mention getting arsey with Sterling for bailing him out and scoring the opener and then playing terribly in the second half.

He's given Chelsea a welcome boost psychologically and made their next month a cake walk for qualifying top 4 as well.

Theres going to be consequences. Pep can't trust him after that, the players are going to be furious and I'm devastated because its such a shit way for him to go out.

If Delap replaced him on the bench for the rest of the league season I wouldn't be surprised.

calm down ffs

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I think I can understand why it is locked

It's funny. When people call Sterling a fucking shit waste of space, that's 'criticism'. People say "are we not allowed to be critical anymore?"

When I explain in the politest possible terms why I'm disappointed with Aguero, it's justification for locking a thread?

 

[domalino]

He didn't today.

He isn't a wing back. Should have been in a back 4 where he has less space behind him and can focus on dealing with 1 forward, not the forward and rwb.

 

[Gumzy97]

Chilwell, Silva, Mount and Havertz ?

Chillwell gets spun by Mahrez

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Does pep not understand there were city fans all over with champagne in the fridge waiting.

get the bloody league won and then rest the players .

chelsea are now in box seat for champs league spot had we smashed them with our first team then they would have a difficult run in and could risk more injury and tiredness

too many changes again pep.

but these fringe players do themselves no favours.

mendy sterling Jesus and Torres were poor yet again.

no idea what aguero was thinking but he is forgiven as I love him.
oh that was a pen at the end but that’s not why we lost too many average performances from manager to keeper.

 

[DRINKLEVEDRY]

People here are so dramatic. Big deal, we lose a game with an unusual formation (5-3-2) with our second unit(only Dias, Ederson and maybe Rodri will play UCL final) and we only need 1 win/3 games(if Utd wins all their games), and people act like we just lost the league....

I don't get it. Rotation is the reason why we barely have had any injuries. Rotation is the reason why we can run like crazy in big important games.

I love Sergio.
He gave me the best moment of my 52 years.
Just can't be angry with him

I'm not a tit man but I bet you have belters:-)

 

[willipp]

Well that’s what you call coming down to earth.

Weird lineup from Pep but so many players still had stinkers - if the CL final lineup wasn't already decided then it is now

Lot of mard-arses on here need to calm down though. It was our second string, we played shite, we're still gonna win the fucking league.

And the final will be completely different to today - Walker's pace and Zinchenko will nullify the only two threats they had today and actually having a midfield -might- just make us more dangerous too

I’d of been a threat against Mendy today, fucking utterly headless chicken doesn’t really do him justice.

 

[coolcity]

Surely all he's got to do is watch previous City games

Watching videos is a million miles away from playing against those players.

 

[lmhblue1]

If I was

That wasn't near to Chelsea's first XI - are you aware of that ?

Personnel was different for them but the system was still the same whereas we literally just threw 10 blokes onto the pitch and said have at it lol, that’s the difference.

 

[ID70]

Lost 2 of the last 4 league games after making too many changes

 

[Blue tiger]

Chill out

We'll still have 20 days off to prepare as we'll have won it before we kick a ball again

Rags have....

Sunday - Villa (a)
Tuesday - Leicester (h)
Thursday - Liverpool (h)

No chance are they winning 3 games in 5 days against decent opposition. Draw one and it's as good as over on goal difference

In fact I'll stick my neck out and say that we'll be the new champions of england in about 20 hours

Hope your right, but Villa are half the side without Grealish. We need Liverpool to be going to Anfield with something to play for. They are the only team I see the rags possibly dropping points to. That being said we just need to focus on beating Newcastle.
