Match Thread | Chelsea vs Man City (12/11/23)

[SWPISHOME]

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

I think that's more down to the fact that we look short of bodies at the back, Our midfield is getting exposed and nobody else but Rodri dropping back in to give a dig out.

The absence of Stones is incredibly noticeable.

As well as Foden is playing, I’d be interested to see Doku up against Cucurella for 10–15 minutes. He’s on a yellow and Doku is a bag of tricks.

From what I’ve seen of him so far he doesn’t look s effective playing on the right, although it would be fun to see him turning Cucarella into a jibbering wreck.

Best I've seen of Chelsea we have to rethink this in my opinion

Yep. Draw is a good result. We should avoid a repeat of the Wolves game.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Not even rinsed, just a massive fuck up. The attacker didn't have to do much to get past him.

The ball from Cole Palmer was perfection... fired straight at Gvardiol's heels. Gvardiol didn't know whether to shit or shower, giving the Chelsea player an easy opportunity to cross. Brilliant by Cole in my opinion.

Carragher sounded like his fog had died when Akanji scored.

Yes bet he has mist it

 

[Dr Jacoby]

True, sometimes you have to give the opposition credit.

Absolutely. But you can patently see that our set-up was a contributory factor.

 

[I'm Blue]

WTF did we do to offend Sterling?

He should be thanking us the amount of money he’s on.

Carragher sounded like his fog had died when Akanji scored.

I love a bit of impartial commentary

 

[kanovic]

Because Alvarez is offering nothing and we're being overrun in midfield.

Nunez over Alvarez imo.

 

[Dax777]

Dias - no more cross field passes.

Gvardiol - Cut out the errors

Alvarez - Join the game

Doku - pick and choose your battles. Diversify your game.

Kyle - Quicker play.



If I was to make a sub right now, Id go Grealish for Alvarez and play Grealish behind Erling
