Magic Lamps

2-1 Bailey agian. he is so brilliant vs them. absolutely deadly with his finishing

Müller equalizes with a shot straight through the middle. Hradecky really should have saved it And btw the Cancan is like the silliest ever choice for a goal anthem

what a tackle by wendell. that was prime cahill last ditch challenge

Never rated him either in our squad. He i slike a slow Boateng. And if you need a slow Boateng you can just call up the actual one^^

I got the feeling flick is shown his limitations today. But maybe Lewandowski or Gnabry will still bail him out. He is a great man-manager from what I have heard but he is not known to be the best tactician.

Great opening goal by Bailey from a sharp counter. That is how you exploit space. Gnabry had the chance to score right before tho

Well, at least players were rested. Easy win for West Spam today. all you need to do to stop us is give us corners and freekicks which we will most definitely all waste. I wish our defending and game management had been that good vs City as West Spams today.

we usually win the header from our corners just can not bring it on target

good example for the difference between causality and correlation

those 35 mins left will be like 8 mins of actual playing time with their timewasting. Don't see us coming back tbh

whilst Willian, Tammy and Bats are not exactly breathtaking options, their stand-ins are terrible, unfit to wear the shirt.

oh damn.... cresswell sold James for dead there. not gonna be easier now.

Giroud is never really sharp. also he has played plenty of matches for France, so he should be match fit.

I don't wanna hear any more complaints from Giroud over lack of playing time. The dude is dire

no one even knew that guy before. he is not really good, fumbling every shot, but we make him look good by not following up sharpley enough.

Obviously Pellegini took out the calamity Roberto and the stand-in Martin will have the game of his life.

Form does not equal height/reach tho. Tall goalies can be out of form too, you know. His wrists can actually be trained for more stability. But I guess coaching would help. Still he probably is not good enough.

I dont understand that Lamps somewhat defends him, singling him out with this reoccuring "I like Ross" like he is morphing into 90ies Jennifer Aniston lol. Anyway just like the character Ross should stop being a man child wuss and take responsibility. But I have given up hope. Lamps should stop singling him out tho.

Usually Bats, Tammy and Emerson do not look like never having played footy before. But the bigger the higher the pressure the more errors players with a weak mentality make. Maybe for Tammy, Emerson it was just bad luck bur the others have a history of underachieving when counted on in these occasions.

Hopefully and probably not. Like every Russian player this chap is asolute crap.

should have scored one of those shots. Other than that did not much wrong or right. Back to the usual , useless Willian I guess. Lets hope that CHO recovers some form asap.

He wasn't all that during his time in Germany and was prone to the odd mistake. He still is when playing for the NT. It is like a mental blockag, like the one Kepa has in every game^^ btw Kepa is 1cm shorter than ter Stegen if the player profiles on the offical website are correct.

Very few here are overracting rn imo. Most of us expected this loss I suppose. But we keep on stating what is wrong with the team. lack of composure/experience, making costly errors/losing the ball in stupid positions, Kepa and lacking serious individual quality in key positions to win those big matches. Maybe Liverpool, ManCity are a bit ahead of us and we are not really competing against them. More worrying is how we botched those games vs ManUre, Leicester, Valencia and almost Ajax at home. Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester away will be the games this team really will be measrued cos IMO we should be beating them. Today I can not really blame our current team apart from the individual fuck-ups. When you come to the City in this era, you always need luck to win and we had some really bad luck with their goals. The issue is that we currently can not compete with the absolute top even if they just put in an average perofrmance but that has nothing to do with the squad and staff ou thtere but the strucutal problems within our board. So no need to panic. We might no win jack this season with the kids but we will secure top 4, i am convinced of that.

He really is becoming a worry. His number of fumbles and easy to moderately difficult saves he fails to make is appalling. Many do not matter so it is not that evident right now. But if we count every action he should have done better beginning with his ppor fumbles in his 4th game at home vs Arsenal last season till today, I doubt Cech or even Courtois made that many errors costing goals in their whole Chelsea career. Height seems not even be the only issue cos he is erratic with both high and low shots.

They turning piont was obviously that triple deflected fluke own goal forced by KDB and the error from Jorginho. stuff like this can always happen but 1. why were we so high up the pitch? not enough bodies back. you can not get countered away from home when you are 1-0 up. We really should have defended that league longer and make City sweat. Right after the goal they completely sat back not to concede another one and to counter. We completely stepped into their trap 2. Even when things like these happen (they usually do after set pieces for us) we should not lose our heads but that is what we did. We hung our heads, dirfted out of the match and got punishes. After that it was a walk in the park for city, cos their composure allowed them what we were not able to do, see out the match by good game management.
