Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea Carabao Cup (09/11/22)

[Brewster's millions]

Ortega and Grealish have been very good.

Rodri and Gundogan look fucked. Phillips has got to come on fairly soon I would imagine.

We need to buy a left back as Gomez looks levels below what we need.

Mahrez - what’s the fucking point of this bloke? Every time you see him he gets worse.

 

[Cricket Blue]

At risk of sounding like a Cnut.

I have no idea what he brings to this side.

It is like playing with 10 men he is that bad.

Ever since we gave him a new 3 year deal he's rewarded us with half hearted can't be arsed performances. He is a liability

We’re seeing tonight why Grealish is arguably the best ball carrier in Europe. I don’t know what the stats are either in our league or across the top leagues, but if he isn’t topping them for ball carries into the opponent’s half/box or ball carry distance per game etc, then I’d be amazed.

Rodri the boo boy of choice on here tonight I see. Wouldn’t be the matchdsy thread without one

 

[come-on-barney]

Young lads at fullback showing a little nativity but to be expected, Rubin and Laporte helping out though

Bernard on for Cole and he’ll open this up

It is nearly Christmas

Second half we have to sort out the gaps when they break, it's too easy. Upfront we are toothless but aside from that we're playing quite well.

 

[city warrior]

GK is a very unfair position sometimes. What Ortega is doing is like a forward scoring 2 great goals, and choosing the right thing every time he gets the ball. If a player did that, he would play the next match for sure(especially against a top club).

I really really want to see him again. Every game he's played he has had great distribution, secure in his saves and now today he makes 2 world class saves(the last one is like prime Neuer, something Eddie would never do)

 

[JULES]

a decent all round first half performance, no complaints from me

 

[I'm Blue]

I'll be honest that half was much more entertaining than I thought it'd be.
Not relaxing but entertaining all the same

Mahrez needs to wake up. Come on
