Closed Man City v Chelsea

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

I'd rather have a fresh motivated Schürrle, who is twice the footballer Ramires is than any of our attacking trio in their current fatigued state. Schürrle does not track back worse than those, also Oscar should play imo. City are not committing the same mistakes leaving too much space behind their lines, which we can exploit. we do not have the pace to do so when we are so tired anyway, so better bring on our 2nd main creative force aka Oscar and hope for a lucky punch

ramires is soooo shit.

blame azpi for the goal..

Not THAT bad a half. We're still playing away to City remember. However, it is shocking how sloppy we can be in some areas e.g. Ramires' passing, Willian's shooting and Luiz in general.

Luiz needs a straight jacket again. Nutter. All this talk recently, well, if anyone offered £35m for him and I'd snap their arms off. I said this last year and I got lambasted. How long are we going to wait for this fabled WC defender? We're sorely missing JT right now and we really shouldn't be with Luiz.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Not only that, we are losing possession in midfield every fucking time. The amount of counter opportunities they had was pathetic...

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Don't really want a replay either, may as well go for the win

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Only one rant, how on earth Kompany is still on the pitch?! His fouls on Hazard alone deserve a sent off already. Absolutely overrated thug!

The awkward moment when the team didn't even create a single dangerous moment... How did we go from last Monday to this shit. Players look like they don't give a damn too, disgusting.

Why would you want to sell the best CB in the world?

Whats the point of Ramires exactly?

That's our problem this season. If we have not space behind the opposite midfield, we seem clueless.

Like our only attacking option relies on when the opposition lose the ball for a quick transition.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Ramires should take a fucking long rest. What's the point of his superman like stamina? Yes he can chase and win the ball back, but he just gave it away instantly every fucking time.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

City are doing to us what we did to them in the league. Low block, not committing many men forward, not giving us any space in their half and attacking when we are in transition.

Our back five look very nervous from the start, and our front four lacking energy and purpose. Willian and Hazard have been terrible.

City well and truly in the driving seat here. Not sure what, but we need a change.

[Pizy 18,552]

Glad I'm not watching judging by this thread.

Hopefully we haven't peaked too early in the season. We can't afford to suddenly play like shit with Liverpool and Spuds steadily creeping up behind us. Not to mention Arse and City.

We might as well sign Mo Farah if we want someone to run all match

[zyzz 711]

As good as ramires is off the ball, he is so frickin useless when he touches it...

[Weckerz 3,781]

Azpi doing nothing going forward and our midfield is getting humiliated by City's.. Hazard's on his own and double marked every time; we need at least Oscar or any AM if he's to change the game for us.

Get Ramires in the centre and Oscar for Mikel..

We weren't that bad

0 shots at target. nuff said. we were indeed bad. also due to fatigue and city just playing better tactically. they arent making the same mistakes and not giving us any space. Kompany has been tremendous so far.

Salah on for Eto'o..no striker, losing 1-0 WTF
