Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea (15/01/22)

[David Kloppesh]

Fear that we are going to get sucker punched here Chelsea who as usual against us are just packing their defence (pathetic really in view of how much their team cost) and waiting for the once chance.
We are playing well without creating a lot. Grealish had to score.

I'm fine with losing a game occasionally while playing this good.

If it is goaless and we get to the last fifteen mins then we had better be switched on as that is when they will have a right go

Early subs if needed pep , switch out jack for gundy or gabby at least

Pretty please

We had two great low crosses into the box one by Foden other one maybe Sterling and absolutely no one inside where a top striker would arrive to smash it. just a big empty space with 2 Chelsea defenders clearing it.

problem is Jesus isnt anywhere near clinical to turn these into goals.

but at least he scored the goal from a deflected shot in last Chelsea game.

we played much better imo in that game than today s far, we did create some great shots in that game and forced Mendy to pull off some top saves.

Grealish's only chance was them giving it away and Grealish not able to do a calm finish on it.

still worried they make one good break and score from it, dont want this to be a first on target shot = 1 goal for them.

come on City!

Them giving it away was from our press. We want them to try playing out from the back and they will get caught a few more times.

Grealish should have burst the net with that. We have to take our chances.

Shay Given has just said "we".....

We're getting there :^)

Management will be having a word in the morning.

Doing ok...but need a bit more bite and killer instinct,a bit more substance.

I feel Gundogan for Kev would give us the missing edge,as,with a reshuffle...it would also allow Bernie to find more space and weave more magic.

Sterling has had his best 45 in a long time,well done.

Why isn’t Foden on the wing? He made a fantastic run through their whole team but no one in the box for the cross.

“You called, Pep?”

no real domination in central midfield which is telling as it's usually a strength, most of our possession is out wide.

Chelsea stacking the middle and we need a bit more tempo and movement.

Kante and kovacic cover the middle really well and thats where Chelsea want the turn over. Were keeping it away from them.

I’m glad Tuchel never ended up at the swamp. He’s got them well organised and they move the ball well. They are looking to pounce on one chance then shut up shop. We had great chances at 34 and 37 minutes that Aguero would have relished.

just waiting for Mount, Havertz or Hudson-Odoi to ghost in for their one chance in the 2nd half whilst we prat about. We don't have many options on the bench in comparison.

Childish error mate, you just know that that's what he calls the Etihad off air.

The true thoughts of a dipper supporting biased ****.
