Match Thread | Chelsea vs Manchester City (05/04/17)

Kev continues his inability to find a city player when pressed

He has lost a yard of pace he really has.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Taking it in turns at leaving something on Sergio, hopefully he doesn't rise to the bait.

Just said to my son I can see Sergio booting luis again and getting a red at some point. He must be getting fucked off that refs just allow Chelsea to shove and kick him about as much as they like when we play them

 

[SWP's back]

Delph has really done nothing wrong, I don't know why some players get attacked for just being on the pitch. None of Chelsea's chances (of which there have been almost none) have come from a Delph error or poor play, he's running around getting into challenges and breaking up play and stopping their counterattacks.

Delph and Aguero have been our best players.

Play fine. Defending wank. Same old story.

Fernandinho is so poor this season. Missed 7 games through his own stupidity and not playing well at all.

De Bruyne mostly invisible again too

Silva good and I thought Delph and Navas did ok Bar the shit throw in by Navas that led to their goal. Sergio was never going to win that one.

Kev poor again, likewise Fernandinho. Delph playing well. Silva playing well as is Aguero.
Shoot ourselves in the foot as normal and no way should we be going in behind.

Agree with all of that except that Aguero continues to be too selfish when other people are in great positions. He's ignored Sane twice when a simple ball would have played him clean through or given him a clear shot on goal.

Kompany showing some rust (not going out to close Hazard and sticking out his head when shot wasn't dangerous and he couldn't be sure he would block it) but otherwise good.

 

[Manc in London]

They are just so much better at defending than us.

They do defend in very large numbers. We are basically playing against a back eight.

 

[deano ou812]

Thought we have been the better side unlucky for the first goal,and even more so for the pen when willy saves but it pops back out to that wee diving cnut,this game is far from over for us ..

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Can we get Sterling and Yaya on and Delph and Dinho off at half-time.

Yaya for Dinho is a good shout, but Delph is doing ok.

 

[cookster]

Different game, same old shit. Dominate everything apart from what matters.

I'd get exited about how well we've played but Chelsea are purposely sitting back and playing on the break.

 

[simon23]

Played well at times

Pep will be annoyed that we fell asleep at the throw in that led to the penalty.

terrible from Willy on the first goal....a sunday league keeper saves that

Kdb is again playing poorly..just not himself at the moment...

Navas again getting into good positions but doing nothing with it.

Sane had a moment where he was driving forward through the middle and sergio pulls wide to take the defender with him...leaving sane one on one...but he passes to sergio.....big mistake and should have gone at the lone defender....need more from him

Kompany having a good game
