Pep needs to remind some of those players at half-time that Raheem Sterling singlehandedly cost them a couple more Champions League medals. The boy is nothing but a money-grabbing, self-serving circus creature.

WOW! :O

I don't agree, just WOW!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Did our fans or club ever treat Sterling like the dippers ?

Exactly. That was completely uncalled for, Little fucking prick he has always and always will be fucking crap. Little prick.

The Akanji goal was a great example of why short corner routines are a thing. Initially, every aerial threat is being man-handled/blocked, then when the ball gets played short all the Chelsea blockers stop blocking and step up, leaving Akanji free. It’s so simple but it really does show why just whipping the ball into the mixer is not always the best decision. Teams are far more prepared for a standard whipped in corner than they are for a short one, as there’s more variety in terms of what you can do with them.

We're not in control. Bernie playing way too high imo, Rodri can't do it alone in midfield

THIS. From the line-up i assumed he would be deep next to Rodri but he is pressing their goalkeeper.

We now this is how he always plays in big games so its on Pep. Need to change it at half time.

Carragher sounded like his fog had died when Akanji scored.

Didn't say anything for about 30 seconds when it went.in

Walker needs to work on his positioning. He is frequently the wrong side of an attacker in our box.

We just got it wrong tactically a bit, IMO, so no need to panic. We need to put Jack out wide, Phil in the middle, and maybe put Kova on for control. Doku off for Jack, Kova on for Julian.

 

[hilts]

without watching the game id say one of doku/alvarez/foden should be subbed by a center midfielder

Not foden he has been our best attacker by a mile

 

[Chi-town blues]

So much has happened in a short amount of time, my watch has just updated me it's still 0-0!!

Haha!

mines at 3-2 city vs qpr

 

[Brewster's millions]

Need Jack on the left Jeremy on the Right probably Julian off
Ruben's distribution is very poor and teams are starting to allow him the ball coming out

Dias has been really poor today - teams are definitely targeting him on the ball.
