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

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Lampard with his Chelsea hat on, Gerrard with his I nearly signed for Chelsea and Rio with his anyone but City hat on

I just heard the line up as they were walking out of the tunnel and I've been on mute ever since. Might be the first game where I've watched the entire ninety plus minutes on mute.

Bollocks.

Yep... he needs to grow a pair

We've been excellent but sadly have nothing to show for it. In football you get nothing for playing well and dominating if you don't get a goal. Jesus has struggled and is nowhere near the presence kun is. Needs to man up and stop falling over at the slightest contact.

He's man enough, don't worry about that. He has the hardest job in the team here and it's a thankless task. I do think he'll be replaced at some stage though.

Who's on there?

Wio, Gerrard & Lampard.

They know they have been watching a top side.

Ultra-tactical game from both of the managers, which translates as boring and dull for most of the neutral supporters. Conte parked a bus and a white van on the top of it, Pep went for the safe options of pinging the ball around trying to move an unmovable object. I hope Conte blinks first.

I'd take a point from this. We've been good but I'd hate to over commit and lose a goal. Chelsea can punish when need be .

I'd love to thrash them Mind you lol

 

[kaz7]

I would cry if we lose it

Hopefully that extra days rest will come into play at some point!
We have scored some late goals this season as our relentless pressure pays off, late winner perhaps?

 

[Blue Maverick]

The pessimist in me is awaiting a sucker punch here

 

[Bad Santa]

Gundo and Bernardo for Sterling and Jesus

Why would you take off arguably our biggest threat going forward during the first half. Alonso will be delighted to see the back of him.
