PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS



2017/18 Premier League Match 29
4th March, Sunday, 2018
Etihad Stadium
16:00 Kick Off (UK time)

[Fulham Broadway 14,797]

Just do what Wigan did

[OneMoSalah 7,478]

Big question, 3 in MF or 3 up front? 

[Laylabelle 8,367]

Well we only lost 1-0 last time... Wigan did it.... 

Heck we'll probably go 1-0 up and score a own goal

[Fulham Broadway 14,797]

We want 100% commitment in closing them down, like Wigan,  Bristol City and Liverpool did. Scrapping for fourth place now

[Milan 17,027]

Great opportunity to bounce back.

[Laylabelle 8,367]

If we don't fuck around we have a chance.. Unfortunately we're good at doing that to.. 

[Special Juan 26,030]

Time to write this game off, we lack heart and desire, everything City have.

Tbf we all thought the same thing prior to the Barca game and in all fairness we did pretty well. Only thing is its almost impossible which Chelsea will turn up now a days.

Exactly!! So chances are we'll gift them a goal and draw...

The only chance of beating them I think, is after they trash Arsenal again on Thursday they won’t bother playing and like good pals let us win.

They have a big cushion as it is, they’ll be champions in a month.

We lack heart at home, away it's even worse.

Don't know if heart has anything to do with it (showed it against Barca) but more about lack of creativity. A decent RWB & CF would have seen us coast to victory against Utd.

 

Think this game is a perfect time to try a few different players out ahead of Barca.

Our defense and middle were shaky against united too. Just a bit pedantic at times giving up possession far too easily, which showcased the lack of creativity you referred to.

Truth is that no matter who plays and what the starting line up is, we just don't have a great team. It's a good team, but just not good enough to compete against the top clubs.

I agree but Conte's choices today didn't help either. Our strongest point and arguably the best in the league is our defence, so we have to work around our strength for the remainder of the season and hope whoever leads the line delivers.

[Georgy 439]

Of course its that time of the year where we hope our opponents start losing matches so we still have a chance. For me Top 4 looks over after today United was the easiest of the bunch and we fucked up.

No good just getting up for a game with Barcelona if you can't show heart against United. Lets not talk about creativity when our coach hauls off the best player we have on with 20-25 minutes left, it just doesn't wash.

Him and Willian were dead early on in the second half, so I can see reason behind it. The fact Morata finished the game is what took the biscuit.

Bring back that performance akin to away to A.Madrid needed , hoping a full week of planning/training will do the trick ffs a win would be lovely jubbly. Chelsea 4 or 5/1 fudge it im all in!,  Arsenal play them Thursday night should help but it is Arsenal
