Match Thread | Man City vs. Chelsea FA Cup (20/04/24)

[Heath Park]

Jeez please let's just get to half time so Pep can sort this out.
Maybe some red bull will help?!

 

[vmsuhail]

It's lethargic stuff, but I can't blame them because they're playing the way I feel.

This was more a game for Bobb, Nunes and Lewis

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Cmooooon city!

 

[Irishblue93]

Could do with changes at half time

 

[Tricky_Trev]

People wanted Phil and KDB both central and this is what happens…. No midfield out of possession. It was never in possession that was the issue.

No idea why Doku got the nod over Grealish for this game.

Because of the impact he had on wednesday night? Or the likelihood that Grealish will be the preferred option for the PL run in?

 

[Gorbachev]

Pep should have trusted the squad more today. These lot look absolutely shot after Wednesday.

If Chelsea could finish we would be 2 down

Only playing balls in behind when Haaland isnt playing

I was just thinking it finally looks like a game with space and balls for Haaland and Alvarez coming deep to collect.

 

[Blu1]

He's given them a chance. They're fit professionals and they've had two days rest. Sure it's tough but they have to dig in.

They need a rest. Rodders has said he needs a rest, Kev asked to come off v Madrid & Bernie has played way too much.

They should not be starting for me
Kova, doku & Lewis will do a better job today

Only playing balls in behind when Haaland isnt playing

Yeah weird.
Fastest striker anyone has ever seen and we don't put the ball in behind for him
