    The game is too open, Chelsea will never play well in an end to end type game like that.

    Very very lucky to be only the one down.

    That's been coming... Useless defending and shocking play most of the time. City by far the better team.

    Not suprised,comedic defending.I can only hope that area will be significantly strengthened in the summer

    It was very unfortunate defending surely, decent cover by Azpilicueta, two lucky deflections :confused:

    Cracking game of ball! City should be a few goals to the good though

    Yeah lucky to be at half time at 1-0, city looked up fir it from the start.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    I'm sure I've seen this before. Wait, I have, only a couple months ago, against City again and the end result was the same as it is right now, with City ahead of Chelsea. I don't understand why set your team out in the exact same way when it hasnt worked in 3 previous games against City this season.

    Physically Chelsea are weaker than City so why play that game? We've seen already against Dortmund, Ajax and Madrid that City struggle against an aggressive pressing game so why not press? The block is so deep, the midfield far too easy to bypass and the occasionally disorganisation at the back. If Chelsea aren't as strong and the back line is a weakness then play a different way, a strong press is that way and a way that has proven successful against City previously.

    Not to Worry lads , I am sure that tactical genius will change things around at half time ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,358 ✭✭✭kev1.3s


    To be honest I can't really understand raffas team selection, mikel has been awful, the defence has been all over the place.

    I honestly feel bad for Chelsea, I'd say fatigue is going to be a real problem as the game goes on.
