Match Thread | Man City vs. Chelsea (03/08/24 @ 22:30)

I don't try and read what Guardiola's impressed with.

Phillips is in with a chance of getting in match day squads, depending on the oppo.

You have to think that way as he's been playing a lot and not discarded.

Guardiola isn't thinking about what main players he has, he wants to see if the players can offer him something to think about.

He did the same thing in last years pre season.

You might be right but I highly doubt he will be anywhere near being in with a chance of getting in a matchday squad with us.

Ref called "Ted Unkel", sounds like a US comedy character.

Disappointing for JWE. Hope it's not a bad one.

What’s Phillips like at LB?

 

[bondsman]

Phillips is pinging the ball about like a quarterback -:)

Yorkshire puyol

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Shame that for Wilson Esbrand. He’s been fantastic both going forward and defensively

The contrast between this performance and the one against Celtic is stark.

 

[shroom]

Fucking stream gone down what’s happening

another hold up pass to Haaland ... nvm he lost it

 

[oakiecokie]

Apart from 4 of the 8 he’s attempted

Pity Ortegas aren`t on the same level.
Fucking awful with his long ball distribution.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It’s a dire watch tbh. Both teams (not just Chelsea) are intent on fouling absolutely anybody that might pose a threat.

 

[chaddblue]

Well done boys. Decent half

 

[oakiecokie]

He's had the shit kicked out of him every time he gets the ball to be fair.

Don`t use that as an excuse he`s been mediocre at best.
