closed Man City 1-0 Chelsea

[Pizy 18,539]

Tuchel himself acknowledged yesterday that he got his tactics wrong the last time we played them. We went too defensive and passive and were dominated. So I’d expect us to do what Arse did to them a couple of weeks ago and take them head on. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how well that’s going to work with the fullbacks we have. 

Think it’s wise J5 isn’t starting here. Kante + Kova will hopefully have the aggression to cause serious issues with City’s intricate passing.

Very nervous about Sarr, Azpi, and Alonso. 😬😬😬

Anything but a loss would pleasantly surprise me anyway.

Good Luck .

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

I think we are going to win here honestly.

 

First surprise of the year.

[Strike 7,316]

Alonso and Sarr down that left side = regular mini heart attacks

[Fulham Broadway 17,064]

Have to block the channels. .Citys England front 3 will want everything on the ground.

He hasn't. If he did Rom would be super sub here at absolute best.

I predict a draw or lose, would surprise me if we manage to win with that line-up.

Thought the same 

the lack of pace from the wingbacks will be a concern vs cancelo and walker

city of course in their strongest XI which they had  fit, fresh and fully rested all season long those lucky bastards

I am a bit surprised that he started. Well actually, I’m surprised he started him as the lone striker. Since Kai rested against Spuds I figured he was planning to start Havertz and Rom up top together. City probably wouldn’t have expected that.

With that lineup I will be extremely shocked.

[Pizy 18,539]

From a compete stand still Alonso gets fucking destroyed. This is going to be ugly on the left side of our team today.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Alonso the donkey already on a yellow 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Jesus Christ Alonso sucks.

[Mário César 1,066]

I run more fast than lukaku lulz

[Pizy 18,539]

City players know ONCE AGAIN that if they press us all over the pitch we struggle. We can’t handle being man for man pressed.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Gotta play Alonso in there Rom.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Lukaku wtf just shoot
