Loftus cheek starts for chelsea, what a name!

IvySlayer · 24-05-2013 12:50am

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Rekik, Clichy, García, Yaya Touré, Rusnak, Tévez, Silva, Agüero

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Christensen, Cole; Mikel, Loftus-Cheek; Azpilicueta, Mata, Benayoun; Ba

$$$$$

Load of rubbish, City looking for £2 to watch it on the official site sums the whole thing up.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them playing with a beach ball.

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 1:11am

Bit of a shame that it's Azpilicueta starting right wing. Surely there was a youngster that could have been tried there to see how they do.

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 1:12am

Seriously? Throwing Mata into a nothing match like that after the amount of matches he's played? I suppose it's whatever gets the turnstiles clicking, but I'd have said there were enough well-known names on the teamsheets to draw a crowd.

Pro. F · 24-05-2013 1:18am

This is madness. Give the players a bit of rest and a holiday!

SantryRed · 24-05-2013 1:31am

It's in a baseball stadium too? I'm sure the players have been constantly on the lash in the US too.

Darkglasses · 24-05-2013 1:31am

Argh. American coverage is horrendous.

City jersey still rank, as is the Goalkeeper's one.

Nuri Sahin · 24-05-2013 1:32am

No NBA tonight, so I'll give this a watch.

Baaaaaa 1-0 Chelsea, against the run of play though :P

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 1:52am

I think it's safe to call that a scruffy goal.

Super-Rush · 24-05-2013 1:52am

Sh1te i left Ba out of my FF team.

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 1:53am

Good play from Mata and Mikel. Well taken by Ba, no doubt he is a threat to any team. Awful by Hart, horrific goalkeeping.

Nuri Sahin · 24-05-2013 1:53am

Hart :pac:

Xavi6 · 24-05-2013 1:56am

Get Richard Wright in

Super-Rush · 24-05-2013 1:59am

Hasn't been a bad game so far.

Xavi6 · 24-05-2013 2:02am

If nothing else, the backdrop is fairly epic -

IvySlayer · 24-05-2013 2:04am

How many feckin chances do they need

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 2:06am

Jesus, how useless is Yossi?

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 2:06am

Awful from Benayoun, very indecisive.

dfx- · 24-05-2013 2:20am

The referee is handling Ba's frequent loss of balance very well and letting the game flow.

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 2:22am

Azpilicueta penalty master!

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 2:22am

2-0. Nicely tucked away penalty from Dave.

Xavi6 · 24-05-2013 2:25am

Dive tbh

It's a kickabout. Man City bossing possession.

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 2:30am

10,000 people watched the training session for the match yesterday. This game sold out (40,000) in 20 minutes.

I paid that to watch Real Madrid's galacticos train in 2005 in Chicago

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 2:49am

3-0, Oscar. Always a joy to watch play.

Panthro · 24-05-2013 2:50am

Oscar with the third.

hefferboi · 24-05-2013 2:51am

Just shows how much money can be made for the big European teams around the world. I'd say a premier league match involving Utd/City/Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool/Spurs in America or Asia would make serious money for both sides.

IvySlayer · 24-05-2013 2:57am

Great start for Blackman

IvySlayer · 24-05-2013 2:59am

3-2!!!

Panthro · 24-05-2013 3:03am

Holy moneybags Blackman, we got a game on our hands.

Soby · 24-05-2013 3:19am

always coming

JohnnyRyan99 · 24-05-2013 3:20am

Fix!

Nuri Sahin · 24-05-2013 3:21am

Rafa out!

IvySlayer · 24-05-2013 3:26am

4-3 what a comeback

Andersonisgod · 24-05-2013 3:28am

The 4 goals conceded were all so bad, a serious lack of concentration for each. I know it's a post season friendly and I know they'd rather be on a beach somewhere but at 3-0 up that shouldn't happen ever.

Duck Soup · 24-05-2013 3:31am

Little more than an exhibition game (and I don't necessarily say that because we let a 3 goal lead slip to lose 4-3). Great stuff for the American fans to go home talking about, which I suppose was the outcome the promoters would have wanted.

Not sure what we learnt from it, apart from Chelsea can't even hold onto possession in a end-of-season friendly.

Xavi6 · 24-05-2013 3:47am

Feckers could've shown some of that fight during the season :mad:

Did City "show fight" or did the Chelsea players just not bother after going 3-0 up?

I know which one my money is on. Half them probably thinking about which nightclub to hit up when City were in possession. :P
