FA Cup 23/24

[Yiddo]

How is Grealish a professional footballer? He literally does nothing but fall over.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Would rather Future Asterisk FC win but Jackson should've put the blue scum ahead.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

City not got going yet really. Silva and De Bruyne having absolute shockers!

 

[paxtonwolf]

This has shades of the League Cup final. Tons of chances for Chelsea, but cant score.

They will regret missing them, City win

 

[spursozy]

I would have bet my entire life savings Jackson would have scored all 3 of his chances if it was against us

 

[Chrissivad]

Can see why they didn't want him taking the penalty in their last game.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Is Gary Neville screaming for a red yet?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Jesus. Can anybody on this pitch shoot straight. Both sides missing chance after chance

 

[spursozy]

About time

 

[paxtonwolf]

Pretty obvious City would make them pay. The Double Double is on

 

[paxtonwolf]

Raheem Sterling coming on. Jeepers I forgot he was still playing...

 

[Grays_1890]

Against the narrative and maybe my own earlier bias.....Poch will do well at Chelsea, were the better side for long periods today and he clearly has them playing well at times. They need a deep clean with or without him and the likes of Jackson etc are not the answer, but I was weirdly.impressed with them today

Watched Chelsea a few times this season and can't help thinking they're only an Ivan Toney away from being decent under Poch. Hope I'm wrong.

Would have been out of sight if not for Jackson and that's against the best this countries had for 5 years. He likely isn't as far off as the media and narrative says TBH.......unfortunately

 

[Seedy Ron]

Never a foul.

I agree, that narrative is way off for me and has been much of the season.

he made City look like a team that had suffered the disappointment of going out of a cup competition after extra time and penalties only a few days before whilst having the whole week to prepare for this one game and a billion pounds worth of talent to call upon…

Yeh but you still have to do it. I'm not a fan of Chelsea as my history on here proves and I've been critical of Poch, but they were very decent today regardless. Its a shame because if they back him with time they will likely do pretty well IMO. The green shoots are there

Unlike mopo to choke a Wembley Semi

I think they’ve massively underperformed all season to be honest. No way this squad should be languishing so low. They SHOULD be performing like this, it shouldn’t be an exception or a surprise or as a result of playing a team dead on their feet.

Edit: I had them top 4 at the start of the season, we’ve benefitted from the likes of Chelsea, Utd, Geordies underperforming
