***Treble Winners v Chelsea FA Semi Official Match Thread***

[carl_feedthegoat]

How pep did not play Rico and Bobb is mind boggling !!!

Walker is a calamity and has been for a while , Bernardo deserves to be nowhere near our first team !!!

This is 100% on Pep - playing players that are just playing shite.

[Crossie]

You can see Foden trying to lead the press but other than Alvarez, no one got the legs or botheredness

[Harry Dowd scored]

Lots of tired looking players out there today. Rodri, Bernardo, Walker, KDB.

Stones and Akanji need to switch. That role is too important for us.

Tired my fucking arse what a load of fucking nonsense

Ok sorry. Rodri, Bernardo, Walker, KDB all look full of energy. Great performances so far.

Fuck all to do with tiredness more to do with focus

Yep.

[carl_feedthegoat]

To be fair to Alvarez he has done more running in 30 minutes than Haaland has done in 2 Months.

I know it's mind blowing.

Who'd have thought that would happen?

No idea why you struggle to deal with alternate opinions.

Last season Haaland was sensational.We all agree on that.

This season he has not done too badly whilst giving the Body language of being a half arsed a lazy fucker biding his time before his move to Spain.

I have seen all the Stats he is way off it.

We are more likely to win without him this season,than win with him..Supported by Stats..We have struggled with him against all the top Clubs.

Pointless mentioning that mate as OD just refers to last season and the seasons before it , he doesn’t live in the present .

[gmercer1]

We are just so fuckin slow. Bit that’s all I’ve said most of the season. Speed it up FFS

[zabbadabbado]

Definitely a bit of a Hang over from Wednesday.

Second half it will be completely out of our system.

Would like to See Bobb get some minutes..

[Crossie]

£100m Jack FUCKING CROSS IT IN FIRST TIME WHEN YOU SEE 5 FORWARDS RUNNING INTO THE BOX

[Mase]

Worked all week so I’m feeling tired here. Might stop supporting us and pick back up tomorrow. Follow the players example.

How many games ( apart from fucking tarts) has Walker played recently

[gmercer1]

How the fuck is that not a yellow on Phil

[nottsblue]

Your City side!

XI | Ortega Moreno, Walker (C), Stones, Akanji, Ake, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez

SUBS | Ederson, Dias, Kovacic, Doku, Gomez, Gvardiol, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis

#ManCity | Etihad Airways

On paper a very strong XI

But I’m very concerned that the triumvirate of KDB Foden and Bernado rarely if ever complement each other when playing together.

But overall I approve of the line up

Hope I never see those three in the same line up again

It just doesn’t work

[Mase]

Ref is a fuckin nonce. Get your cards out dick head

[CTID Hants]

Has to be a yellow for Gaiceado

[ruralblue]

Yellow card the cunt.

[Indianablue]

Chelsea much sharper than us, playing better. Grealish far too predictable, Silva off it KDB poor. Need Foden to wake up

[Indianablue]

Has to be a yellow for Gaiceado

100% . Piss poor free kick

[ruralblue]

Might has well just pass our free kicks back to Ortega

[nottsblue]

Definitely a bit of a Hang over from Wednesday.

Second half it will be completely out of our system.

Would like to See Bobb get some minutes..

Bobbs lack of minutes is even more concerning and baffling in the week where Pep has admitted he didn’t give enough to Palmer which was the main reason he wanted out

You’d think he would learn from that

[zabbadabbado]

That first Leg against Madrid we scored from outside the Box.

Inexplicably we have gone back to trying to walk it in every time v Madrid second Leg and again today..

Grealish is terrified of Shooting,.Works some great moves near the Box, then choose the nice easy back pass every time.Then moves away to stand next to a Chelsea player.
