Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea (21/05/23)

[Blu1]

Philips looks so disinterested

 

[bluemoon32]

Mahrez should be leading this side, not just going through the motions

 

[kaz7]

If we bring on 5 first teamers well absolutely bum these

First team would have battered them silly

 

[heslops barnet]

Nobody even making a claim, Phil and Alvarez aside in my opinion, to be the one called off the bench in the finals to possibly change the game if needed

Not unexpected

Need to sub Mahrez if he isn't interested.

He annoys me when he plays like this. The majority of players out there won’t get a sniff of an FA Cup or CL final. He will. I would like him to at least bother his arse in games like this beforehand.

Lack of work rate from Phillips is what frustrates me, he gives it away, then casually jogs back and puts no effort into pressuring the guy who ends up shooting from the edge of the box.

Been accustomed to our players working hard no matter what, but especially when it's them who've given the ball away.

NBC having a couple of digs about the atmosphere at the game. It does seem to be a bit subdued.

Poor from Phil there. He's been good otherwise.

He didn't give it away, Mahrez did

Any changes will be to see the game out, Palmer looks like he can hold the ball up well and draw a foul.
