Yeah I agree. Are you under the impression that I'm lambasting City for selling him?

Was totally anonymous in the FA Cup semi final.This is a really good post to be honest. I only disagreed with this bit. Last season, he played brilliantly vs City both home and away. He was brilliant vs United. He was brilliant vs Arsenal. He was decent to okay-ish vs Tottenham. His only poor games came vs Liverpool. This season he's been a bit quiet in the big games, especially vs City and Liverpool. It can happen, Saka was dead quiet vs us, and he got subbed off at HT vs City, but no-one holds that against him.

Admittedly I did not watch this game, I was on holiday abroad and only watched the highlights when I got back to my hotel room. But he was great in both league games vs City.
It was a perfect storm for Chelsea. Not ground breaking and little signs he would make that much of a breakthrough. The only concern for Chelsea is during the title run and whether you can really rely on him other than getting a Penalty decision. Decent finish with England but little else during the last tournament.Yeah I agree. Are you under the impression that I'm lambasting City for selling him?

Penalties only.
The performances themselves were great, is what I'm saying.

You have to remember, he was also top 2 in assists in the league last season. His overall contribution, even without his penalties, was genuinely fantastic.
Not really it was 4-3 to us and we gifted Chelsea the opportunity. He wasn't brilliant in open play at Stamford Bridge. Same with the 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture.The performances themselves were great, is what I'm saying.
Didn't show anything like that at City.You have to remember, he was also top 2 in assists in the league last season. His overall contribution, even without his penalties, was genuinely fantastic.

He's had the chance, and the time at Chelsea to show what he could do, but he wasn't quite good enough at the time to get in City's starting eleven. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.Didn't show anything like that at City.
