[Keeper!]

Rodri been immense

Always is, the abuse he gets is a disgrace

 

[jollylescott]

Jack needs to be more intense. He’s a tad to casual.

 

[blueabdi]

Keep Sterling away from this game please Pep, it’s not for him.

Sterling will play better than grealish because of his pace

Is Mourinho at the Bridge today wearing a Tuchel mask ?

 

[vmsuhail]

I think Chelsea's negative tactics are due to the over the top praise they got from the media. Now they're scared of losing after media made them the best team.

every team needs a cnut,

United have 20…..

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'd day this is where Gundo earned his corn in the final third last season, taking out chances, but don't think he could do what Foden is giving us today, in terms of energy in the press.

Dilemma.

Perfect. Perfect tactics, perfect press, perfect attitide.

Keep it up and we will get a chance later in the game.

We would have won Champs Final playing like this.

Would maybe like Jack to get back in a bit quicker.

I agree. Jack is probably the only one that isn’t up to this tempo by us so far.
Kev perhaps a bit rusty but he still knows how to play this intensity from us.
We might get done on the break, but I still feel we could have the concentration to see this through. Just one bit of luck required. A penalty perhaps as they start making tired tackles.

Just hold the head lads.

 

[I'm Blue]

Why’s Delap not in the squad?

 

[Blue Maverick]

This is like the City of a few seasons ago, huge combined press, may need subs to keep the pressure up.
