That's what's annoying. They said we dropped 11 points from winning positions. Mostly from stupid draws

Good defence meeting poor attack. 
 

Not. Sustainable

Kova Kante was great today, tireless, amazing. Front 3 did pretty well seeing as Kai has just started playing again. Most important thing was the great mentality shown today by the team.

Ps. happy with the draw as I expected us to lose, with all thats going on.

unfortunately we are just not good enough to win the title, City are much better drilled to win it atm, we are droping too many points.

[Tomo 21,751]

Gutted to drop points as we deserved to win this and we needed to to stand a chance of winning the title.

BUT fucking great mentality from the lads to come back from such a perilous situation, something special will happening here under Tuchel I'm sure of it.

City can pop the Champaign 

but at least we proved to ourselves we still got it

[dimmas 131]

We have better chance, better fluidity before jorginho came in.

 

I don't see much problem with our midfield to hold it. Since our central midfield kovacic and kante play so immensely. They play so excellent, release the ball much quicker, their movement were great, can hold pressure and read the game very well. We create much better space to exploit and got better chance aswell

Not sure what you mean. Neither did much & had the officials done their job, we'd probably would have won. 

I mean pool is a so and so side. I 'm certainly not happy with this draw looking at it from any angle of view.
We should have won but up front we are slow barges.
One of our goals was a super fluke (let's admit it - it was like that Porto goal last year). The other one was ok - a decent break.
But up front we are not clever enough or moving fast enough.

those draws against Burnley, Everton, Brighton and United still sting a lot 😡

What a game. Both defences were leaky. We definitely deserved that though. Played the better football. Their tactic was mainly over the top to Salah or Mane. Kovacic was brilliant all game. Absolutely bossed that game. He dominated the stats this game as shown by skysports. Chalobah made a huge mistake and was shaky first half but he recovered really well second half and regained composure. Silva was brilliant also and Rudiger came on top quite a few times with Salah. The result all but confirms City will win the title but proud the way the team played in light of recent events and player absences.

Just not good enough .

You cannot start a match after 0:2 .

That’s how we will start every match - with a huge handicap unless we buy new wingbacks 

[Nero 1,874]

We should have won. So much better

[blues.bridge 343]

 

proud of performance.

Makes a change from starting well..scoring and then chasing the game and dropping points anyway.Nice change even though frustrating!

Thats twice now in the games v Liverpool this season where we’ve dug out results when people wouldn’t of probably anticipated us to based on the circumstances. Felt a bit like the City game last season where we scored that last minute winner at the Etihad (barring the fact we didn’t take the 3 points today) although again, our performance on that day, we deserved to win. Today just felt similar. 

For me the mentality, the standards, the difference from under Frank now is enormous and so clear. This is why I find it so frustrating when people thought on here pre match we would get absolutely shafted or we could struggle to make top 4 if we didn’t get something today or even when we got it back to 2-2, we could fuck it up still etc. Our performances in the big PL games this season have generally been good barring United and Man City.

I think its more because we changed from a 343 to a 352.

Not having Pulisic free inside to drift and run into those inside pockets as opposed to being fixed at RWB didn’t help but all in all, I don’t think Jorginho really helped or hindered us either way but his introduction was necessary because of Trevor.
