Dear me, Caicado is so slow lol

Feel sorry for Big Phil today, he isn't a lone striker, he needs someone up there with him. Theres no life or spark in the game at all, we look scared to express ourseleves and we are getting overun in midfield, everything Chelsea have done has come through Lampard and Essien and we couldn't be making it any easier for them.

Get Boj on upfront with Phil.

Big Phil's touch is awful.

We could have had a couple of good chances if it was better.

The defending for the goal was laughable.

Phil is haven a shocker. All left foot. Ireland looking decent, Zab is NOT a midfielder. His fault for the goal.

Give Boj a shot! Take Elano off. We need to get SWP in the game

What we need is to retain possession and pass it around a bit more simply. We are giving the ball away far too cheaply by playing very low percentage passes.

 

[mcfc22]

Agreed

 

[kronkonite]

you need to be pretty much world class to play as a lone striker against terry and Carvalho

I don't know if you guys realize Caicedo only just turned 20 this season, think he can become a great player you know.

Alright, all is not lost, we can still get something. Hoping for a great second half, come on city!!

Can't believe the stick Caicedo's getting, he hasn't been that bad, he's playing alone up front against an awesome chelsea team FFS - he's still young and inexperienced.

Agreed its a damn hard role when you have only played half a dozen games.

difference in the 2 teams.....Drogba. They have a striker that is a threat keeping Ned and Dunne busy and he can hold the ball up, whereas it`s a day off for Terry and Carvalho.
Sorry but Caceido is not up to it, time for Ched (or maybe the Boj).

Missing some steel in the midfield, de jong and kompany being injured has done for us
