Closed Man City v Chelsea

[zyzz 711]

Good defending. Just need to be better on the counter

[Toli 977]

disgusting performance. we arent even playing football today. City cant create much either, but still they are at least trying. we are attacking with 3 and max 4 players, while they have 7,8 in defence. Should get our balls out and not be afraid of them

@the Blues 11 Matic has been our best player in the 1st half.

[Barbara 15,149]

whether we bring Schurrle or Oscar for the second (there's no way Willian will continue to play) they should be in the wing with Hazard centered. He can draw as many fouls as Willian (if not more). It's not like we're having a lot of chances created through the flanks anyway...

[Beepu 1,714]

Willian draws alot of fouls but gave away possession alot. Frustrating game so far, we're still missing something.

[LegenTerry 263]

Yea,here we go again,bus parking.

'Did ManCity impose itself on Chelsea or did Chelsea let them?" ....wondering myself the whole time

[Yeboii 1,844]

Man City look more like scoring unfortunantly

Hazard has to step up his game

[Thor 2,121]

Some of you are being incredibly harsh on Willian. He is out there busting his ass, usually stranded and given little options, and people are complaining he is turning the ball over? Where the hell have Costa, Hazard and Cesc been? He can't do anything with it when he's being crowded and given no options. At least hes going out there and drawing some fouls, slowing the game down, and giving us a chance at some set plays.

People who has been defending Mou, where are you? I could see this since we drew against Schalke, so predictable. Nothing changed from last year, looks like his plan is still to get draws away and this time beating small teams to make up.

Step what up haha? 0 attacking intent out there today. Everytime he gets the ball, it's in awful positions with 0 support.

You need to stop with that nonsense you say every game. We've barely managed to string two or three passes together in the final third. What do you expect him to do? He's been clever in the little possession he's had on the ball.

Atleast he didn't lose the ball everytime he got it.

Some of his misplaced passes could have cost us 2-3 goals. Furthermore, he is losing the ball when we are building up our attack (-> time when most goals happen), thus we aren't re-sorted at the back yet. Besides, Willian has always taken the wrong decision in terms of passing the ball so far. Horrendous performance.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Why are we complaining about the cards? City we dominating us physically before the ref started handing them out.

Yet we have a whole forum on Willian's case despite him actually being involved in the game...

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I hope Jose really get's stuck into the boys. We're making City look better than they actually are. We need to get Hazard more on the ball but in order to do that, we need to dictate the tempo of the game more through keeping possession. Even if it's passive possession for the sake of it.

The way we're playing now is simply unacceptable and if it continues, the press are going to rip into Mourinho in the papers tomorrow. Even Stoke City have shown more ambition than we've shown so far at the Etihad.

Arsenal play attacking football away from home vs the big sides...
