This match had everything Laughing

so was fernandinho actually sent off? couldn' tell in the mayhem

by Firenze Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:33 pm

two huge wins in a row for City and IMO they weren't clearly the better side in either of them, but all that matters is the 3 pts. They finish every chance they have atm. Let's not pretend City didn't have 3-4 chances, including that Bruyne miss that should have made it 2-0 and completely changes the match. Unreal miss that.

Fernandinho going at his Brazilian team mate for getting his knees almost busted out. What a donk. Laughing

How long a ban can we expect for Aguero? Surely that has to be more than just 3-4 games?

lmaooooooooo

Hopefully 9 games.

Sadly we will have to deal with the Guardiola is a pretendhipsteroverelaborateoverratedfraud CONVENIENTLY right after the game. :facepalm:

by EL Patron Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:38 pm

It's amazing how City lost this game despite being the better team Shocked

All those chances and they chocked in front of goal Laughing

Mindboggling when you look at the quality of the players they have in attack Surprised

I think Pep underestimated how good Chelsea are on the counter attack. City commited way too many men forward even when they were leading, they left their shaky back defense way too exposed. If you to do that again Costa and Hazard in this form then you are just asking for trouble.

If Chelsea can keep Costa and Hazard fit and firing for the rest of the season then they will walk the league.

I missed that, Laughing

Entertaining match. I am not anti-Guardiola, nor do I think he's a fraud, but right now he's facing a particular set of challenges he hasn't quite faced before. It will be interesting to see how he copes.

Conte is a bawss. Hazard back to his best. Costa is not as hate-inducing as he could be. Feels weird having a twinge of admiration for this Chelsea side.

by Firenze Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:38 pm

Pep 'this was our best performance of the season, Otamendi was incredible'

by RealGunner Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:39 pm

Have to give credit where it's due. Pep is truly being a revolutionary and trying to win the league without any defenders.

Last time someone managed that was me on fifa13.

by Art Morte Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:40 pm

Please post Pep's post-match comments when they're out, thank you.

Biggest difference between this league and other leagues is the finishers. EPL has players in each side that can punish you more so than any of the other top leagues. City created enough chances to walk the game. Good thing Gabriel Jesus is coming. I think he can bench Kun.

City are definitely jumping in for a CB this Jan.

Otamendi goes to ground and commits to early and Stones decision making is sub par. They should get van dijk.

They will have to offer something stupid but they can.

Someone like Laporte might be easier though. Or Bernat even for LCB.

Inb4 Pep saying to the press in a passive aggressive tone that his peripheral vision is lacking and if Cesc really wanted the handshake he should have called his attention

by Hapless_Hans Sat Dec 03, 2016 3:04 pm

Two veteran players like Aguero and Fernandinho getting themselves red card at the end of extra time is actually an absolutely shocking lack of professionalism.

Sergio Ramos at the end of the Manita level shocking.
