Match Thread | Chelsea vs Manchester City (30/09/17)

[Barcon]

How did Bakayoko manage to get off the pitch without a yellow?
Guaranteed Kev or Leroy to get the first one.

I would like to see Bernardo, we are going to need some more craft to unlock this. I'm not sure about Gundogan, there's a lot of physicality in the Chelsea midfield and I don't know if he's ready for that battle

By far the better team, chelsea dont want to paly football

Great half of togger from us. Slick, confident, pressing is great and comfortable all over.

Love it.

 

[Easy]

Dominated but no real clear cut chances.

That De bruyne Sterling link up was as clear as it gets. Sterling puts in a cross that is a little more accurate and it's a certain goal.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Desperate for Raheem to score and take the piss out of Hazard when celebrating...

 

[Gabriel]

Hugely tense game with a great deal at stake. I'd actually take 0-0 right now if it showed that the defence could get through such a game without a 'moment'. I appreciate that Chelsea are now playing without a striker, but one lapse in concentration and they'll likely score, so just keep it tight.

Hope I'm not speaking too soon but we look a different proposition against the top sides. We'll win more than we lose against the top 6 playing like this.

Don't forget we looked even better than this the first game against Chelsea last year.

 

[deano ou812]

Controlling the game but big worry is we're not in front. Gaby looks well off form last 3 games, not great timing with Kun injured. I'd be tempted to bring on Gundy and play without a striker.

Good point,but to be fair I think we need another up top alongside g.jesus just a shame pep didn’t stick Diaz on the bench,throw him on last twenty if still 0.0,cause the worst thing defenders want to see is an unknown quantity running at them especially when he adds that bit of something different..

We're playing superbly,to a man.

Ederson is awesome and Sterling is terrifying them - how the fuck was that not a yellow??

because Atkinson wants Chelsea to win. If Fernandinho had had Bakayoko's half we'd be down to 10 men.
