Match Thread | Chelsea vs Man City (08/12/18)

Sterling needs too many chances not clinical enough to play in the centre.
Mahrez slows the rhs too much.
We have given them the ball a few too many times.
Delph and Sterling main culprits.
We can still win this but I'd take the draw now tbh.

Fuck me, can we please man up,

We have been by far the better team, Chelsea have spent 43 minutes chasing shadows they got lucky and made the most of it.

We will come back stronger in the second half, they will sit back and try to defend this lead.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Fuming.

One shot, One goal.

We bossed that half only to throw it away on the whistle. Joke.

 

[Crouchinho]

Bit of a sucker punch but you outplayed Chelsea all match. Still think you will win this

 

[oldius]

Fucking hell, we have been great. Total control.

Sane and Sterling perhaps guilty of trying to be smart when we have a sniff.

Also felt we lost a bit of control on the right when we switched Mahrez up top with Sterling.

Just need to keep playing our game and not go chasing it too soon.

Fernandinho best player on the pitch but both Delph and Walker have poor first touches in them.

This is where KDB gives you more threat from deep.

Absolutely spot on. We have been excellent.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Sane needs support, on his own FFS get Danny Lowe on, now !

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

Bloody frustrating, now Chelsea can cling on to their lead. Will be tough to break through their bus so any chance created needs to be buried. Silva too quiet for me and no central striker may be costly we will see.

Trying to walk it into the net that 1st half, someone just needed to have a shot their keeper has had zip all to save so far. Sterling is never as effective when he has to do that false no 9 role shit, he should have buried that early chance as well. Hardly had D Silva on the ball and we need him to start controlling the tempo, making those wee passes inside their back 4
Still plenty of time to turn it round though

I think we've been fantastic in every area apart from finishing, early on.

I don't think I could put up with the dippers being described as "joint top" for the next week.

Just said the same to the Mrs, but we lose and it’ll be longer than a week.
