Man City 1-0 Chelsea

[Vesper 30,121]

I cannot take another year of this SHIT

we need to sort a LOT this summer

[lluubbeenn 173]

We played a good game. I am tired of this narrative that city were soo tired. We didn’t let them play. Their heads were down, because after all the trophies they won, they wanted the CL. The cup and the league aren’t the same when you win them every year.

As for Jackson’s misses this is the biggest mistake of our season. I said it many times before when we loaned Broja. You can’t have ONE striker. Every striker needs competition.

Sure you can coach concentration. Usually it is easier with kids but psychologists also teach it to adult professionals. Sure poch can’t but he should know sports psychologists who do. I know that the wc winning German national team had several sports psychologists with them as did many Olympic gold medal winning British teams 

Yes sports psychologists do work but a club like Chelsea you believe we don't have that on payroll. My university in the US for D! soccer we had it. What I'm trying to say is that no matter how much a manager or a professional works with someone that still may not give results. It is not just this year that concentration at the back has been an issue however we purchased a bunch of ball-watching defenders and that has hurt us greatly this season. The exodus of AC and Rudi had us panic buy average defenders in Fofana, Koulibaly, Badi, and Disasi. At the time the market for WC CBs that were available wasn't there. Especially to a team that just came out of sanctions. If there is one thing we need to do this off season is replace our two main CB. I hate to say it but look at what Arsenal did and how having a solid backline has propelled them up the table.

absolutely should have won this 1 4

the 2 Jackson horrid misses (there were 3, but 2 came in same sequence, so would have only yielded 2 goals)

the pen not called (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

and Chilwell (who must be blind) missing a wide open Sterling who would have had an easy shot

SHAMEFUL

You obviously don’t like Chilly. He was the only one running at players, when he came in. He hasn’t had any rhythm in his game since 2021. And there is no such thing as a easy shot for Sterling 🤣

They scored quite the lucky goal too tbh.

Disagree regarding the tiredness. They were clearly tired and were missing important players esp as options.

They played a super difficult leg against the biggest club and did not have enough time until this match.

Agreed regarding having a single striker option. Been saying the roster is super unbalanced.

Naw Chillwell has had to go for since after we won the CL let's be honest. He's too injury prone and his decision-making in attack and defence is poor.

This is the most expensive and the best team in the world. They have allegedly broken 114 financial rules. They can play two games in a week. Pep decided to rotate only a couple of players. Only Rodri is irreplaceable in their squad.

Maybe we should start paying attention to injury-proneness… but then again, we signed freaking fofana for big money.

Oh absolutely you have all these players that are supposed to make an impact in your squad but they are on the sidelines

Still I saw what I saw. Some of it was our good job in D, but they still looked tire to me esp debruyne and Bernardo.

Broja is dog shit post injury (and maybe before)

we had SO many options to buy a decent CF the last 2 or 3 seasons

and we deffo had the cash look at the £222m we dropped on Caicedo and Enzo

all of these could have been had for the right price (as some of the clubs had huge financial issues or would have sould if we dumped huge money)

   
Lautaro Martínez 
Victor Osimhen 
Alexander Isak  
Dušan Vlahović   
Ollie Watkins  
Jonathan David  
Ivan Toney

I believe that we should keep Poch, sign a winger, a striker and keep Chalobah. That would be more than enough for me. I would love Osimhen, but I am ok if we go a tier lower. 
I know you will say we can’t get the top top players after this two seasons, but who doesn’t dream to play alongside the best player in the world. 😀
