Abraham has won everything in the air against Stones and Fernandinho, just go long

Mistakes we've made a few

Why aren't we taking advantage of Tammy in the air?

We need to get some decent balls into him. 

Silly mistakes has cost us 

We've been terrible for the last 20 minutes of that half. 

we've lost our way - need to reboot at HT

Need to go long 

It’s so f**king frustrating that both of their goals have come from our own mistakes.its not even the young guys it was two of our senior players.

Was going extremely well until we gave away that first goal. 

Willian and Emerson have not been good enough in attack, their end product has cost us in crucial moments.

Same thing with the space City leave in behind, there’s acres, with the pace of Tammy, Willian, Pulisic & Kante coming through we should be looking for the ball over the top a lot more.

 Maybe it's time to unleash ALL the kids in these big games ... ? ?

 

Overall we have matched them but our mistakes have been costly. We need to some times be less arrogant pissing about at the back trying to play past city

Yup and did you see that just before halftime? Ball up to Tammy and we are on the break. 

We are playing it short too many times. 
 

team has been bad since the equalizer

Poor defending, misplaced passes, losing the ball too easily, and the shocking defending. Looks like city are going to score every time they get the ball

Seems like we been unlucky keep going COME ON CHELSEA!!!!

I could live with Emerson and his poor crosses if he could defend down the other end.

A real shame because Jorginho and Kovacic were playing superb, but both made individual mistakes. 

Kind of lost it after handing back the initiative to them. Lots of nerves creeping in. Whatever the outcome, they’ll learn something from this. Come on Chels!!

I’ve no idea what Frank can do here but since City woke up just before their equaliser we’re looking increasingly in danger of being on the wrong end of a thrashing. I really can’t see any way back into this. I guess it’s a simple case of them being quite a bit better than us.

I wonder how many and what players we are short of being on their level. I think a keeper is certainly one.

The most disappointing thing about that half was that we were in complete control and City looked completely demoralised and we pretty much handed them the lead and are lucky to go in only 1 goal behind. 

I know Kepa couldn't have done much about the goals but 2 shots and 2 goals it'll be nice if he pulled a worldie once in a while, Mahrez pretty much telegraphed that 2nd goal in at the far post. 

I think we’ve been doing quite well going forward but our main danger has been needlessly giving the ball away.

That’s how most of there attacks have happened. 

A real shame because Jorginho and Kovacic were playing superb, but both made individual mistakes. 

Mistakes happen let's keep going we are playing the champions of England remember

First 25-30 minutes absolutely superb. Completely outplayed them until their very very f**king lucky equaliser!

We haven’t been good since it went 1-1, but still do look threatening on the break. 

Poor defending for the Mahrez goal - Azpi should have been left back with James right back. 

Jorginho’s has produced a couple of horrific passes in positions where we can’t afford to lose the ball! It cost us once and we were lucky it didn’t cost us twice. 

I’m pissed off because I think we’re playing well and are only behind due to some poor luck and a couple of silly errors. 

Performance has been good.

Some people will say it's been a good peformance from us because of the chances we have created and how much of the ball we have had, but because of how awful we have been defensively, I can't praise us. It's like watching Arsenal when they used to play against us. The defensive errors and the amount of times we have given the ball away in our own half has been the poorest it's been all season. The worst thing about it is that City have been mediocre at best and we have just given them the lead. We are commiting football suicide today, you can't win many games playing like this. If City were playing at their best, the score would have been as bad as it was last season.
