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

[Beanhead]

Anyone take penalties now?...

No we can win this if we come out for the second.

It's all qbout mentality. Too many tonight are wobbling. Giving the ball away and passing backwards and playing it safe. Money doesn't buy confidence only talent. Few bottle jobs out there tonight.

There pressing is like a rash. Sterling against James looks like Sterling against Wan Bissaka, as in he just knows he’s second best.

 

[PragueBlue]

Just not working for us at either end of the pitch. Defence is getting exposed, especially Zinchenko who just doesn't have the pace to play that way, and we just can't get any of our creative players on the ball. Mahrez has barely touched it, KDB has done very little and Foden seems more suited to the left. We've created a few chances but Chelsea have looked more dangerous.

I'd go back to Foden on the left and have Fernandinho on. Possibly Cancelo on for Zinchennko.

We go back to the football that has served us so well this season and we can win this.

 

[kalouk]

We've got this far I would rather go out all guns blazing and bring Fern and Aguero on. Chelsea's defence is good but Aguero can make something out of nothing (no sentimentality involved)

 

[Damanino]

Pep will make like 1 sub at 85th minute out of five, hopefully we still will be in the game at that point.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Right... Where to start with that.

Let's face it; this ref is giving us FUCK ALL, so let's forget that and get on with it.

BT are a disgrace. Effects mic's turned up at the Chelsea end, and it was mainly Chav's fans on the crowd shots ... until they scored. So FUCK BT.

Team wise; no fluidity in the midfield, and there are mistakes in our defence. Having said that we have more than enough on the bench to turn this round if we get the opportunity. We've just got to get tighter to their players in the final third, roll them in the challenge and pick that killer pass.

 

[Keeper!]

gutted, totaly gutted, what a major dissaointment that 45 mins was

 

[hilts]

I don’t understand why he’s taken Foden away from this left wing, I really am struggling. Get Sterling off now, he’s about as dangerous as Scott Carson.

In fairness when you win the league the league Cup and look organised and the best team in Europe you would be mad not to change it all for the CL final.

See fa Cup semi for a perfect example of the managers utter fuckwittery.

They are organised when we attack we are wide open when they attack. Well done Pep.

 

[colorado blue]

Wonder if Eddie would have got a red if they didn’t score. Definite hit his hand as he went down

 

[pudge]

Got extra time written all over it. And Aguero.

I'll take extra time right now, we couldn't score the top of a table with a fork
