Match Thread | Man City vs. Chelsea FA Cup Final (16/05/26)

[I'm Blue]

Marmoush, Semenyo and Haaland are all similar profile players.
All great goal scorers but restrict our creativity.
Cherki needs to come on for either Marmoush or Semenyo.
Someone also needs to tie the floppy haired **** up in knots.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

That was very lacklustre.

Surely we can only get better. Looks very unbalanced up front and no creativity elsewhere.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Awful half, dont even recognise us

No energy, no desire, youd hardly realise it was a final

Some sloppy performances all around really

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Get Marmoush off. And then try and penetrate them instead of playing at walking pace.

Dreadful first half. Get running at Cucurella who's on a yellow.

Yeah, too many finishers and not enough players to create something. Only Doku really with no one around him.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Marmoush, bin. I don't care if Pep made a mistake playing him, he's one of our highest earners and he doesn't seem to give a shit. Pulling out of challenges, jogging around, not making an effort to get on the end of anything.

Take him off at half time and sell in the summer.

 

[roach3]

Just muted big fucking Meeks can’t stand the blagging ****.

 

[Mentis]

Have you had a look at the words yourself mate? It’s a load of fucking nonsense..

No, to be honest. Just taking a stab at Palmer

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Marmoush anonymous

Doku doubled up on

Semenyo clumsy

Needs to change it at half time.

Cherki on for Moush and give Savinho a run for a different option down the side.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

I said about 15 minutes ago that they've 'woken up', whereas we are slow and sleepwalking. We need some inspired magic and I just don't know where it is coming from.

Time for Foden to turn it on

 

[burning blue soul]

Chelsea can deal with meat-head players all day. They won't be out muscled
What they can't deal with is intelligent players. Cherki will scare them because he can out think them.
He's got to come on. He's just got to.

 

[handsofstone]

Deffo not working with 2 up top, Pep has got it wrong

 

[waspish]

I’d bring Cherki on last 10 mins if we need a goal

 

[noseve]

I said about 15 minutes ago that they've 'woken up', whereas we are slow and sleepwalking. We need some inspired magic and I just don't know where it is coming from.

It rhymes with 'Perky', if that helps?

 

[Blue Tooth]

Frustrating 45. Dokou is being marked out of the game by the doubling up. That should leave space elsewhere for us to exploit. Need quicker passing and movement. Chelsea have a plan. We need to undo it.

 

[hihosilva]

Its crying out for Cherki to come on for Marmoush

 

[christened at st marks]

Total shit back passing Marmoush crap Semenyo crap Foden and Cherki on for both Doku looks like under instructions total waste of a half from Pep

 

[Dazzle84]

Cagey affair. I don’t think one player has scored more than 6 in that half.

Nobody scored any, it's 0-0!!

 

[pudge]

Absolutely dross

Marmoush off, how he blagged a start I'll never know

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Well that was a borefest. Playing into their hands. Flip of a coin who wins if we play like that 2nd half .

 

[M Gaudino]

chelsea now bossing it the last 15 half time welcome
