City haven't even played at 50% of their standard this season.

Tuchel on the other hand has Chelsea set up brilliantly.

No DM, hes playing sterling whos out of form. Piss poor from pep and now he has given chelsea something to defend which they love doing.

Okay.


I'd just suggest that single(wrong) decision completely changed the game and made us unable to risk going 2 down (and likewise made Liverpool unwilling to risk going for a second) so that one game between those two teams was completely unlike any of the the 6 games between those same sides and mangers before.

When you say "fuck all" I say we we were in the game and Liverpool had ZERO chances until Origi's game ender.

But clearly we feel differently about it.
Well, we certainly didn't do enough ourselves on the night to actually win the game, a shitshow from start to finish with a completely unfit striker on the pitch - that should be the takeaway.

Pep needs to get a DM on, to free up the creative players to do their thing and not get hit by another game ending goal. Also tbh get Sterling off and put on Aguero.

Fernandinho would have fouled every Chelsea player after on the halfway line and stopped any potential attack and gotten away with it.

I feel nothing towards Man City but their inability to win the few games that I want them to, whilst steamrolling the opposition most other weeks, is really starting to grow tiresome.

Chelsea front three have been allowed to outnumber City's defence all game. Having no DM sit and block those gaps is killing them.

Chelsea's 3 at the back and two flying FBs has helped exploit and stop chelsea at the same time. Completely stretched their defence and not allowed city to work the ball inside.

the way to win against city is to let them have the ball & then counter them ....it will create chances, especially with werner, havertz & mount's pace

We did the first part to a tee in the final against them
