City v Chelsea post match

[Chippy_boy]

How much did you make then?

Funnily enough, nowt because I don't bet against my team.

I expect we'll have most of the possession as usual, but will be playing mainly in front of their defenders, whereas when they get the ball, they'll attack us at speed with us out of position.
Unfortunately, I see us losing this, although I hope to be proven wrong of course.

1-3 Chelsea :-(

And the red flood hath begun... until tomorrow's inevitable debacle, that is.

I swear some City fans are happier when we lose than when we win - they cant wait to get to their keyboards and write all sorts of drivel.

You've got to applaud chelsea today they were magnificently set up, defended very well and were ruthless. Mark of champions and they will win the title. I can't see them losing many points with the quality they have on the field and on the bench. 3-1 flattered them overall but they were worthy winners in the end.

Oh do fuck off. They got lucky.

What I would do for a prime Vincent Kompany right now!

Makes you appreciate how brilliant he has been for us at times.

Not sure you would be writing that if the KDB chance was an inch or two lower.

Fine margins etc etc

One downside to Pep is he has his system and the players need to fit it - which is a problem if the players aren't good enough for it.

Conte seems to have got a system to fit his players. Not exciting but they are solid and win.

They were for the taking but we are not ruthless enough, even when they were diving all over the show at the end faking injuries, we were kicking the ball out, we are just too fucking nice. That's probably why augero got frustrated . It was an awful tackle btw.

Played very well for large portions of the game. More clinical finishing and we win comfortably. Bravo needs to go.

Agreed - spent the second half talking about Bravo.
Never have booed a City player, never will. Understood Peps reasons but he has to hold up his hands and admit he's got this one wrong. I'd have put good money on Joe doing better with at least 2 of the goals.
Playing from the back is very nice - but with what we've got currently it just ain't working. I'd settle for 2 or 3 1-0 wins on the bounce now
