***chelsea v city fa cup match thread***

[PrezIke]

If we win, they'll give us grief for not playing the kids the rest of the time

Tyler of course was catering to nativist sentiment even whilst commenting on us playing youth early on, pointing that only one is English, and when referring to Adarabioyo saying he's born in Manchester but alluding that he's really Nigerian.

[ayrshireblue]

Two usual suspects in the defence again.

[Tokyo Blue]

Absolutely delighted with the young lads here. They are playing away at the champions of England witha full-strength team. Very good first half, whatever the result turns out to be.

[gmercer1]

Another kid would have been a better option than MDM today. Awful defending

[dick dastardley]

Demi fucking woeful

[Blue In Bolton]

The sooner MDM and Kolarov are fucked off the better.

[nottsblue]

Why does Hart not play? Goalkeepers rarely get injured.

[dick dastardley]

Pedro diving fucker

[gmercer1]

The sooner MDM and Kolarov are fucked off the better.

Deffo

Pedal dives and bbc say he falls through momentum? Seriously

caballero is our cup keeper. It's just how it is for Pellegrini. Maybe some promise to him when he signed him as a second keeper I suspect.

[aaron bond]

Very very poor defending. But that's been the hallmark of Pellegrini's reign with us so no surprise.

The young lads are still doing well so can't count us out of this match yet.

[Dameerto]

Come on guys keep it respectable.

[Dunnylad]

Shame Angelino wasn't given a run out couldn't have been much worse than Kolarov - no closing down & nothing in an attacking sense either

[ruralblue]

Oh dear.

[Blue In Bolton]

Add Willy and Fernando to that list.

[dick dastardley]

Feel sorry for the kids senior players fucking shite

[sidSmith]

Why does Hart not play? Goalkeepers rarely get injured.

We have to somehow keep the 2nd choice keeper happy to sit around the place beyond just money, so I guess a bit of game time in the cups is a way to do that.

The question for me is why did we play MDM?

And now keeper fucks up. I stand corrected lol

[Blue Since 76]

Don't mind playing the kids, but surely we should have played a keeper?

[30yeargloryhunter]

Awful goalkeeper
Experienced players have been our worse players

[iwasthere2012]

Three goals have been poor defending and add poor goalkeeping now.
