Match Thread | Man City vs Chelsea Champs League Final (29/05/21)

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Playing Gundogan alone is simply playing into Chelsea hands and allowing them to dominate the midfield, dino for sterling immediately after resumption.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Let's be honest Chelsea deserve to be ahead. We look so nervous and well off our usual standards it does seem the occasion is getting to us.
The goal is so disappointing a gap of a canyon to run into it's not acceptable and it's something that Fernandinho or Rodri would of filled in.

Anyway biggest 45 minutes in our history we need to score next.

Come On City!!!

Classic pep, switch to a completely new system in a big game and be surprised when we are a disjointed mess. Get a fucking holding midfielder on, get control of the game and get the attacking players involved ffs

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

how come you aren’t our coach?

Aye let’s aspire to be 1-0 down in the CL final

 

[come-on-barney]

Too many hiding, Foden ,De Bruyne, Mahrez not involved.
Gundog, Bernardo ineffective.

Big step up needed second half

Or perhaps the manager got his tactics wrong

 

[Keeper!]

In all honesty we should be 3 down.

System hasn't worked.

Pep changed a winning system/team.

that's the only positive, Chelsea should have won the game already

 

[deano ou812]

Just a shame this game wasn’t say a week after the PSG second leg as it wouldn’t have given pep time to overthink things which has resulted into today’s game ..

 

[gingerprince]

The players just don't know how to get from defence to attack!

Sterling playing has negated Fodens options to drive at Chelsea

We are not getting the quality from KDB as hes too far forward in

a team that has no transition to him. Mahrez having to collect ball

too far from goal means chilwell can be tight and rough him up.

Chelsea should be x3up but if Rudiger hadn't blocked Foden, we'd

have been 1:0 up,thats cup finals for you. Pep won't change til we

are 2:0 down or x10 mins left.........

 

[Blu1]

Everyone can see the problem but nothing will be done

100%

 

[Heidenreich]

Still 45 minutes to go. Come on blues
