closed Man City 1-0 Chelsea

[Laylabelle 9,300]

Well did as expected. Just a bit poorer..ish.

[Pizy 17,860]

We aren’t near City’s level and won’t be for the foreseeable future in the league. Our best chance for major silverware as long as Pep is at City is the CL. 

Our only job from here on out is to keep the chasing pack at arms length. It was foolish to even think we had a chance today and this result shouldn’t be a huge setback for the players’ mentality. All about beating those behind us and hoping the likes of Arse, United, WH beat each other up.

Expected sh*t.

[Vesper 27,336]

title race done and dusted

so we are playing for 4 more trophies now

[Strike 6,965]

Focus on the cups

[LAM09 6,552]

To think we were 6 points clear at one point. Tuchel has to take part of the blame with the XI he chose, but City were the better side.

[Magic Lamps 11,452]

At last season form we actually win this

city had 1 chance from an error from us and a KDB moment of brilliance

other than that we could have easily won this despite the gulf in class if Lukaku were not a donkey

Why every single big match we looking shit ?  Vs Liverpool 1st half vs United 2x Citeh ?

Done and dusted a while ago especially the niggling injury concerns we keep having though not an excuse for today's poor performance....

Mendy would have saved that, FUCK

Kepa arms are too short

Hah,,...I was actually thinking about your earlier comment about "short arms" Kepa when that shot went in.

He did everything right in terms of positioning and his dive, but that shot was sadly outside his reach

[Alabama 1,992]

With couple of better players with proper football IQ today 3 points would have been ours.....

We need to keep Lukaku on the bench for a whole now....disrupting the flow of our game....

Ole Gunner Solskjaer won at this stadium three times in a row.

Yes they're better but to write this off as free hit is ridiculous. And even if we are going to lose, atleast make a game of it and make some element of it enjoyable.

Not saying we would beat City every time but last season, we had a winning formula against Guardiola - the same/similar winning formula that we have had against him for years - and this season, in trying to shoehorn Lukaku in, we have had to throw that formula out of the window, come up with something that doesn't even represent a winning formula and have barely laid a glove against City.

That's why Tuchel needs to be ruthless for the league cup final, especially if it's Liverpool.

Could be less than 4 without a proper replacement for WBs.
