LOL, they really are not. This is where they have been struggling the most this season and seem to be finding it very difficult to adjust to after moving from Upton Park. The fans just don't have that connection yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Good win and the chances of Spurs catching us were diminished. City outplayed us in the 2nd half and we conceded the flop of the year award in the 1st. Very clever action by Cesc who won the pen. The defender was n't given time to organize himself and tripped him. Diego should have paid the ticket price to watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis of what West Ham have produced this season, I'm expecting Spurs to beat them easily. But if there's any hope for a West Ham win, it's the fact that the Spurs match will be a cup final for them and they're battling to avoid the drop. So maybe, just maybe, they might cause an upset there. As for Leicester, if we do our job properly, what they do against Spurs isn't going to matter because that match is likely to be in the final week of the season. We may have won the title by then (fingers crossed). 8 hours ago, FabHazard said: Yes we gave them too much respect and passing was sloppy... as i said it does not matter ....played great against palace and we got zero points 8 hours ago, MrExcalibur100 said: Gave them way too much respect in the 2nd half. One will have thought we were playing Barcelona. But MASSIVE 3 points. Those fucking Spurs of course won in the last minute. Imagine the outrage here if we dropped points here? Considering we have an Italian manager, we are bound to be pragmatic in certain big games and even if we want to dominate the big teams, we don't have the team right now to do it. We only have like 2-3 technical players and that isn't enough. Had we gone out to do that against City, we would haven been slaughtered on the break as we saw on some occasions in the first half and that's us not even looking to be on the front foot.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 We haven't kept a clean sheet in the league since late January, which is a worry, but is anyone else also concerned about our defending at set pieces - most notably free kicks? We look prone to conceding from them in recent weeks and were lucky not to yesterday with Kompany hitting the crossbar and Stones missing from 4-5 yards out.

the wes 7,212 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 DANNY MURPHY has hailed Antonio Conte for his key tactical change during Chelsea’s win over Manchester City. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/788511/Antonio-Conte-Chelsea-Man-City-Danny-Murphy-Premier-League I totally agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Alot of problems amongst the lads but lets just hope we can keep our heads (Diego) and just keep knocking them down. After our 1st goal I was quite looking forward to a dominating game but of course someones got to fuck that thought up and last night it was Tibo. OMFG what was he thinking about? His babies in Madrid? He keeps doing daft shit like that. What I find pretty amazing is that Conte (Chelsea) is the first to beat Pep home and away in a season!. Thats a pretty good record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Massive win, in fact huge. After Palace the pressure was on and this lot always seem to step up and be counted, the mentality is great, and whilst people talk of Spurs and their comeback being a kick in the teeth you can bet your bottom dollar this result was a bigger kick in the teeth for Spurs. The double over City is no small thing, this whilst was not the complete performance but it was a win of huge proportions and for me the night of the biggest significance. I am absolutely buzzing.

Thats a pretty good record I'm too lazy to check but, over the past dozen years, I wonder how many teams or coaches have beaten Barca or Bayern, in home and away league fixtures during the same season? I'm guessing the answer is pretty close to zero. In other words, is this a Pep stat, or is it really a combined Barcelona & Bayern Munich stat?

El P. 1,354 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 When seeing Aguero goal for second time - ok, yes, mostly Courtois fault. But where was Kante to mark Aguero and clear the danger? It was clear as a sky rebounded ball could go only to him. Think N'Golo wasn't at his best yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you think of all the hype before the season kicking off from the media such as "Pep v Jose, who will win the league" and "The master Pep arrives at City" City have fallen unbelievably short of expectation, I'm not even mentioning United as they have been dog shit, but Pep and City, disastrous season.
