City v Chelsea post match

[Bayblue]

Cos Joe would have saved us. We never lost to Chelsea when he was here.

Bravo not good enough for us. Joe could be.

We've been soft ever since Pellegrini took over. Only a handful of players give it 100% attacking and defending. And to compound this, one player who gives 100%, doesn't know how to gauge many defensive situations and is left on his arse.

You don't have to be aggressive or sliding into tackles to be a good defender.

He' s right imo, apart from individual shiteness at both ends. Fantastic approach play constantly getting through Chelsea's defence.

Unlikely another side will create half what we did even when beating them.

We have been finishing these chances for the past 5-6 years. Why the fuck we have suddenly started missing everything is a mystery.

But it doesn't take away the quality of our approach play.

Come off it mate, we played ok-ish.

But "the best we've played all season"? Give me a break. We were well rough. Defensively dodgy and from an attacking perspective, inept. We scored 0 goals and conceded 3. Best performance of the season, my arse.

It's one game. We will know at the end of the season whether the players have taken their chance. Overall we played well most of today

It's not though one game is it....

It's not one game mate. it's quite frequent. Some of the team are just not at the top top level. Oh well the future is still pretty bright :-)

Just saw KDB's chance again...what the fuck was he doing?

Harder to miss than score.

All these constant missed chances will ruin our season if they don't start burying them.

Stretching to reach the ball and only just getting to it you plum. Do you think he made a decision in that moment?

i dont disagree

But, in all these games, bar Spurs, we finish our chances & we win easily.

In past seasons the same openings would lead to goals. It's unlikely we can fix the defence short term, as the players are shit, but the attacking players we have are far better at finishing than what we are seeing.

For the past few weeks I've been thinking about taking a break from football. I think it's starting to effect my overall (for want of a better word)mental health. I'm far too emotionally invested in City and with games like this, I'll be spending all day trying to keep my mind occupied so I won't think about it. If anybody has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

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

He was and it's becoming a bit of a concern.

Well it is because we played Chelsea today. This thread is on that one game ..... :)
