Citeh were not in it today. Their minds are on... who knows?

I said it and while I haven't checked all matches, my memory serves me well.

Every time they had a big UCL coming, they messed up in the domestic competitions just prior to that.

It was like that before playing Bayern, Barça, and now Barça again. Maybe even more as I didn't check their fixtures, but I remember those cases.

They can't handle the pressure. While I think when they lose the UCL knock-out some of the press will be relieved, it'll be replaced by a defeated spirit. They're screwed imo, but we shouldn't relax at all. They'll drop points in the league, but so will we - for different reasons. But we do have a good chance here.

Fucking City. They had one fucking job.

We desperately needed that replay. Those wankers are all but guaranteed a trophy as well now.

The psychological blow from going out of the cup when they were the favorites and against a championship team will hit them much harder than one extra match.

Even though, I agree with your evaluation of Citeh but not with Chelsea´s. I do not believe, Jose will allow the team to slip much. At least, every time he led in March he never lost it.

One thing I saw was the huge difference between Fernandinho vs Garcia...

Garcia looked like a champ level player today. Fernandinho to City is what Matic is for us as is garcia to city and mikel to us.

The drop-off from Fernandinho and Toure to anyone else in their squad is vast. Demichelis is a joke too, and even Dzeko is unreliable. They have a great first XI (apart from CB) but beyond that they're shaky. Pellegrini can't make changes without the system suffering.

Hopefully, the rumors aren't true that they signed both Mangala and Fernando next season. It would shore up their weaknesses.
