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

[Don Karleone]

They've all enjoyed a nice training session. I wouldn't accuse anyone of playing well. Maybe Ortega.

Thrown together, possibly for the first time. They've done well for me.

 

[Barcon]

He didn’t, he told Alvarez it was handball

Other way round. Alvarez told Mahrez.

 

[Matt the Giant]

Boring Pep... just focusing on defending the lead by bringing on Haaland, King Kev and Rodri.

 

[kaz7]

Sergio and eric off

Has there ever been a sub that improved a team more than KDB for Gomez?

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Personally think he could be a hell of a player but at the wrong club at the wrong time

Maybe. He looks lost though.

 

[Keeper!]

Do you ever say anything positive?

so this game is good?

read what I said

 

[Gabriel]

Just based on today I'd say Lewis and Palmer have looked the part too.

All good. Lewis is still so young and physically developing, and we need to see Palmer both in his natural position and in a stronger eleven. The youngsters always need shepherding, but I’d have no qualms if Ortega had to play.

"If an attacking player’s accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out."

 

[Mancity1980]

Interesting, keeping Phillips on with Rodri.
