City v Chelsea post match

[RandomJ]

Pep is a class manager, considering what just happened that interview was conducted really well.

What did he say?

People won't like this because he's young and come through the ranks but Iheanacho was absolutely awful when he came on.

I thought it was bony?!

Otamendi was tasked with challenging Costa and he failed because his only way of doing this is over committing and diving in leaving the others exposed - nothing to do with Stones. Mangala is struggling in Spain in fact looks a real turkey and that debut against Costa aside he has been bobbins. Vinny unfortunately is made of glass which is why Pep wanted Bonnuci and Laporte in the summer. Costa was immense today but he was allowed to be by the way we marked him, oh for Mike Doyle or even Tommy Booth.

Yeah I'm not saying I rate Mangala, he's shit. Was merely pointing out that him and Kompany easily dealt with Costa.

Agree. It was a logical sub though I thought but didnt work out.

It was a logical sub if you were happy with a draw at home against the league leaders. Which I was not happy with, btw.

Clichy improves our team in no perceivable way, and in fact worsens it considerably imho. Our ability to score went down 10% when he came on and our ability to defend improved 0%.

He's a goal scorer but doesn't have the all round game to succeed here imo.

What were you expecting ? It's hard to come on like that when we aren't playing well

 

[Chippy_boy]

Still fuming by the cheating english ref, but what's the purpose of Clichy, anyway?

Nil.

 

[Mattyc55]

Agreed, not just for his intelligence and general play, but a leader on the pitch, something we need badly right now. pep can only do so much from the touchline, we need a Kompany type player on the pitch

Totally agree - huge loss both as a defender and a leader for the likes of Stones.

 

[Mancity1980]

What did he say?

He said well done Chelsea and his team is at a high standard.

They aren't juniors. They are seniors. They are also their country's number 9.

Well no matter what label you place on them it clearly isn't enough. 4 goals in 4 home games with all our creative players is a terrible return.
