Chelsea vs City Post Match Thread

Very pleased..it's been a great week..best I've seen us play for a while.

 

[SWP's back]

De Bruyne out wide was giving the ball away in bad positions, usually when he tried to come back inside. Luckily, he's dynamite in the hole.

If Zab was at full speed, and Kompany playing regularly, I'd go back to Pablo overlapping Silva on the right.

There's seriously no point playing PZ behind Navas. His game depends on him being able to do everything decisively - pass into tight areas, run forward, and tackle - without second guessing. He can't do this because Ota is killing him with bad balls and wanderlust, and he'll never overlap Navas.

He's just left hanging around waiting for things to happen. He's just not that sort of player and he's not that sort of defender. As much as he is an overlapping attacker, he's an all action, tackle back, hit hard, last ditch defender. You kinda can't have one without the other.

I accept he's slowed, but he's always had a few problems when players stand him up or cut inside. And it can't help that he never gets a run in the team, let alone in his overlapping role. I just hope he recovers, he could be big next season.

Wow.

They must be watching the thread massive respect at the end there.

"However Chelsea played the overall consensus we agree on is City were really at it today though right?"

Souness: "Bang at it!"

That is a great win. De Bruyne makes such a big difference to us. Chelsea fans mist be gutted watching him.

one or two moments as always with us in defence and Ottamendi really needs to stop diving in.

A great couple of weeks results wise. 2
More wins this week and we should be ok then. Need to keep the focus because it's still tight.

Pellegrini just said Nasri has a big problem.,,,damn!

Fantastic performance
KDB and aguero were immense with the rest not far behind
Otem and Mangala partnership is really looking good now

Agreed they come good the Sky lads

Glad that Redknapp highlighted Nasri. Most blues want him axed for some reason. Class player.

Otamendi and Mangala seem to be striking up a bit of a partnership. Hope Nasri not out for too long as him and KDB make us look much stronger attacking wise. Unfortunately silva for one reason or another not quite on his game this season.
