***Official City v chelsea FA Youth Cup final thread***

[Moonchesteri]

Our wingers & Buckley are very isolated when they get the ball.

[Spurge]

Very important we keep in touch - already seeing signs as the game wears on that there is more space in which to play so might be able to get in behind down the wings with a ball over the top.

[iwasthere2012]

Some of the basic passing has been very poor. We just keep giving it to them.

[blues2win]

At last Angelino to Barker and then a near miss from Garcia. Great play.

[Dameerto]

They seem determined to kick the crap out of Garcia tonight.

[blues2win]

And then Nemane misses a chance he created for himself.

[Mase]

Channel is this on?

[blues2win]

And then Bryan pinches the ball and misses another chance. Much better.

[iwasthere2012]

We're getting into it a bit better now. Still littered with mistakes though. Bryan just missed a gilt edge chance. We ate getting on top though.

[Moonchesteri]

Could've had three in the last five ten mins. Really enjoying this one

[everyonehatesus]

Target practice needed I would say

[iwasthere2012]

We're cutting them open now, but can't put it on target.

[Moonchesteri]

What a kick in the teeth that. Real blow.

But we've created so many chances this tie is far from over

[iwasthere2012]

There's the difference. Sloppy passing out of defence. They are clinical when given the chance.

[Saul Goodman]

Score?

[dick dastardley]

Defensive mistakes again just like the seniors

[blues2win]

What a shame. Was it Nemane who gave the ball in a dangerous area and Solanki made us pay. Hard to see us coming back in the second leg now.

[Moonchesteri]

1-3 now

[Sister of fu]

3-1 chavs

[Moonchesteri]

What the fuck is the commentator banging on about Haug playing it short just before the goal?
"Maybe he should've played it safe" etc. Haug played a perfect pass which Neuer wouldve been proud of to a teammate with lots of space. It was his poor pass that led to the goal, not that I'm blaming him either.
