great decision by Pep to hook Sane for that defensive rock Clichy, things went bell end up after that....
Yes, totally agree. I didn't understand that substitution.
I was at the game today with my friend who is a Chelsea fan. We were in the wheelchair section level 2, Colin Bell Stand, and had a great view.
Anyway, just before half time my friend said "Chelsea will be desperate for ht, we've been battered". Then we scored. At HT our discussion was how Luiz stayed on, the referee, Agueros miss when Sane Laid it off, Hazard should have scored with their only chance, ...and a decent penalty shout for City.
The first 15 mins of 2nd half we were excellent, Sane started running at them and they couldnt get near him. He played a lovely ball for KDB, clean in on goal, terrible finish due to an uneccesary touch which delayed his shot. Should be 2-0
Then Cahill and Courtouis messed up and Aguero took the ball off them, rounded the keeper and inexplicably just rolled the ball towards goal. Very sloppy that Sergio. Strike it into the net ffs. Should be 3-0.
Five mins later, we get round the back of Chelsea again... a great ball across the box, KDB has to just guide it over the line... how on earth he hit the bar and over from there nobody knows. Should be 4-0.. It affected his game after that... my friend agrees that City should be 4-0 up...
A minute later, Costa equalises, we thought he'd hand balled it at first, but a good finish.
They get their 2nd from our missed opportunity in their box... then Willian has the ball right edge of area, surely he has to do more to score? Bravo at fault for me, positioning was awful. Their 3rd seemed to be from our attack? Again Bravo slow to react and Hazard had all day.
Saw Aguero go for Luiz, right in front of us. They were both going for each other, but Aguero lunged at him. Actually didn't see Fernandinho push Fabregas over the barrier as everybody stood up in front of me. Saw Kelechi getting into their faces. Didn't realise Aguero was red carded until afterwards, thought he'd got away with it. Can't complain though, terrible challenge... he got in first though, as I said it looked like they were going for each other.
Even forgetting about the referee, I can't believe we didn't win that today... and my friend can't believe they did..
