That is exactly why they have not won the league since the keeper can't pick up the ball from a back-pass rule was changed.

great read from one the better journos

The City marks are probably lower because the media expected so much more from us in the game. Not very accurate or objective but journalists are just people who earn livings by being subjective about most things.

yep. we were shit and chelsea were shit. but we were more shit than are usual shit than chelsea were with theres....

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yeah pretty much most of what I am hearing is that Chelsea did well considering we spanked them last time. I think the media player ratings reflect we played below par and they played above. Still wrong though.

Actual stats :

Top Performers
Rating
Oleksandr Zinchenko 8.4
César Azpilicueta 8.3
Eden Hazard 8.2
Emerson 7.8
Nicolás Otamendi 7.8
Total Shots
Sergio Agüero 4
Nicolás Otamendi 3
David Luiz 2
Eden Hazard 2
Ross Barkley 1
Tackles
Oleksandr Zinchenko 8
N'Golo Kanté 7
Emerson 6
César Azpilicueta 4
Nicolás Otamendi 4

Individually they had some good performances but it's a team game and they dont have good team play

The worst part is the irrelevant video at the top, that drops down to cover the text as you scroll, with the barely responsive, tiny x button that's right on top of the much bigger, highly responsive full screen button. I've seen less annoying viruses.

 

[Skip Donoghue]

Haha. Maybe that’s it. We gave them such a shafting 2 weeks ago, keeping a clean sheet is a major success for them.

Just seen the Times ratings and it’s even worse: 77 to 66!!!

What game were these clowns watching?? I admit we were not at our best and think overall 6s & 7s are about right, but in what weird universe were Chelsea better by 1 mark a man?

Why the surprise?
the twats who right these reports 9 times out of 10 have no clue about the Game at all,

remember they are just your average football followers with a built in bias with a basic knowledge of football, they are the bottom of the pile when it comes to punditry even ranking lower than a Colleymore or Merson, basically clueless

I had the biggest laugh of the weekend this morning - biggest after pissing myself at SideShowBob's preliminary half-marathon before his attempt to uproot the Wembley post, that is. The DT individual player scores - top spot went to Hazard with an 8, seven CFC players got 7s, City had three 7s and I think the rest had 6s! I wonder who won that game and when nigh on every one of our players was inferior to the CFC performers we've robbed The Pensioners, the mugging of the season it appears. Funny how the gutter hacks gave Bernardo MotM!

As far as the biggest piss off for me is concerned it's..........

Picture the scene FA cup first round Notts county at home to Solihull moors and a 32 year old none league journey man makes a tackle cue.....

" great tackle there by Jonny smith was with United ( think their under 10 side. Was let go at under 14 cos just didn't have IT in a pool of 240 under 14 's where they kept 98 on their books.) and still loves the game. Any other tenuous link gives United a mention in a game they are irrelevant too.

However watched Dortmund other night and they were oozing Jadon sancho but it still took 30 mins to say he came from OUR academy.
