City v Chelsea post match

[kevin horlocks wand]

Thought aguero played well today tbh, worked hard and was always an option. I hope the ref display doesnt mask the lack of pace and savvy of our defence, they looked like strangers today, really need to hit the jackpot with our next defensive signing.

I hope you mean defensive signingS...

First time posting here. Im from Portugal (Benfica) , but i hope City win FA premier league. I Like this team a lot and like Pep a lot! Today City should´v won. The problem lies in boxs, like Pep has been saying . Especially, City needs to improve finishing! Cant miss so many goals! That is demoralising! But we are only in December! Im confident in City , City will improve for sure! And by the way, Grimaldo from Benfica would be a great signing in the future for City!

Hi pal, nice to meet new fans. Grimaldo would be a good buy he's got a bright future ahead of him.

I have been reading the posts with interest, lots of guys venting frustration, some silly Mancini/Joe Hart remarks, when will fans realise how fine the margins at this level are e.g. KDB scores, and we more than likely win, everybody happy, no negative remarks, peps still numero uno, and, we top the league.
He hits the bar, they equalise, go on to win, now some yearning for Mancini and Pellegrini for gods sake. I urge all to get a grip and look at facts. We have a fine team with a coach who is the envy of many, granted improvements are required defensively, but I am confident these will be addressed in the near future. Onwards and upwards :-)

Any ITK's heard of any rumours/activity for the transfer market for January?

clutching at straws if you think that we would be able to get 3 top quality defenders in the winter transfer market..when ever have we got a top quality player in the winter transfer window for ANY position

We had the beating of the best team in the league on form. Score our chances and we win. I predict one of those 2 teams will win the league.

Lots to comment upon.

Joke of a ref, disgracefully bent.
Wrong to go 3 at the back, rarely played well with it when we then have the 4 midfielders in there - that ones on Pep.
Kev cost us with his 2 misses.
Our defence is a joke.

Only players to come out with any credit were Navas, Silva and Sane.

Defender(s) need to be signed in January or we can forget this season.

What was the ruckus at the bottom of 128/127? Courtois was involved in it.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Absolutely. But that's on the players and not the set up.

I agree sort of. Had our players taken their chances we would have won.

But on the other hand, had our player been given the chances we gave the Chelsea players, we would very likely have taken them.

What I am saying is that the way we're playing makes it pretty easy for decent defences to defend against. (We are too slow and ponderous in the build up, allowing them to get organised and to defend as a unit) and on the other hand we are making it very easy for swift attacking teams to punish us (because they catch us when we are out of position and strung out all over the pitch).

I genuinely think if we replayed that game 10 times we'd lose it at least 6 or 7 times. Chelsea are not all that good and yet we still failed to score against them. And they scored 3 against us, at home.

bit of the dramatics going on, felt we deserved to win against a negative chelsea team. I just hope the actions of fernandinho and aguero doesn't affect us too much.
