Jase 43,479 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 This was 2 days ago and if I didn't recognize the players wrongly, both Mendy and Kante were out with the rest of the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically he has put up decent matches against City, hope this is one of those times. I know he is, and I don't blame Tuchel for making that decision. However, I think that he'll get exposed against City with their full starting line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovacic is quite good under pressure, but still looks very rusty after his injury so I doubt Tuchel would risk to play him. If Kante is out its game over in my opinion. Kovacic made less mistakes that led to goals than Jorginho in the last couple of games. When Kova is next to Kante he plays much better and atleast he had an excuse of being rusty. What excuse does Jorginho have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,350 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Typically against City we suffer in the gap between the defence and the midfield, consistently City have players occupying that space and it’s always nervy having our midfielders in there, even Kante. De Bruyne scares the life out of me, when he has the bit between his teeth in a game he causes all sorts of problems. That said, it’s a one off game and my biggest worry? Our players attitudes and work rate, we’ve had big games recently and we’ve bottled every single one, failing to replicate the Madrid efforts.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 City must be asphyxiated and forget their passing game - they should need to perform a litany in Notre Dame to proceed 20 yards. Up fronn I 'm less worried. Timo will escape and pass it to Pulisic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but to be fair to Jorginho he was in general pretty good in the last few months and this includes many big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charter flights were 200 quid..tickets up to 300...then add on flow testing as well? You can definitely get cheaper flights! Or usually can anyway..so cheaper not to do that 'deal' Chelsea Supporter Trust board member Dan Silver said: "Uefa's lack of care for fans has again come to the fore." He added: "They came to be our friends over the European Super League but now they have turned their backs on us again. "Uefa's insistence on having charter flights - initially linked to 90% of tickets, which the clubs pushed back on - spending only 24 hours in Portugal with added Covid testing and additional costs have made it very prohibitive. "Selling tickets for up to 400 euros for a limited access final with unnecessary travel is outrageous when there were obvious solutions closer to home."

Arteta might be shit but he has 2 small title wins in a time where we have 0 And TT is a good coach but is terrible in finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
