Premier League Gameweek 29 (3rd - 5th March 2018)

[Since I do have the undeserved tag] Maybe it's no coincidence other teams look like s… when facing City? Arsenal looked a bunch of amateurs twice…
 
Has nobody learned from Liverpool' job on City?

Awful efforts from Arsenal and Chelsea.
 
Maybe us United fans don't want to applaud City as Champions at OT, just maybe?
You dont have to root for City. Our benefit (top 4) comes before our rival's detriment. I see you have the city lover tag so maybe this is you doing your best to get the mods to take it down :lol:
 
I don't get it. They've put in Giroud and Morata but then decide to try to play it forward from the back
 
I've been saying the same for ages. For all the possession it takes 2/3 passes to completely dissect their defence and have clear shots on goal. There aren't any teams in the PL good enough at the moment - United included - that can take advantage. The likes of Madrid, Munich will tear them apart in the CL with the chances they'll get.


Yep. Agreed. Even in this game where Chelsea have shown no ambition at all, they've still managed to be 3 on 3, or 3 on two etc.
 
Nevermind the fans that went, Chelsea should refund me for watching this.

Soon enough, You'll have one too !
 
Don't get me wrong - City's style is incredibly hard to play against - but this reminds me so much of 'dull' Barcelona. Or dare I say it, us under LVG. Keeping the ball when you have no interest in creating chances isn't that difficult, especially if the other team isn't willing to press.

It's defending via possession. And as we learned under LVG - it only really works if you also have the absolute top talent up front. Which of course Pep does.
 
I love the way Chelsea keep trying to play it from the back and looking awful and losing the ball every single time.
 
City have teams mentally beat it seems. You just sense the fear teams have against them. Really annoying too, City haven't good today.

Our objective now is finishing 2nd, not f… 4th, although it means the same for Champions League.
 
This premier league season is petering out into nothing.

Top 4 sewn up. Relegation battle about the only interesting thing.
If City and PSG keep dominating people will just turn off. Can genuinely see them bursting the football bubble if they carry on like this.
 
Chelsea have not managed any shots on target.
Because they've not created any chances of quality. The best teams may not create a lot of chances either but they'll be ruthless with the ones they do get and that's what's needed.
 
Morata getting 15 minutes of instructions for two minutes on the field.
 
Chelsea have not managed any shots on target.

Yeah i know. I never said they did. I just mentioned that they've had a few opportunities where they've been 3 on 3, etc. Where they've had the opportunity to punish City, but have been horrendous in possession.

You'd think Chelsea have enough talent up front to play this way, but Pedro and Hazard have stank the place out.
Deathly dull match. Only bonus is I missed the first 20-odd minutes, watching the darts.

Liverpool are the only team in the league that have an attack comparable to City's. You can't say that when Arsenal and Chelsea's are crap.
 
I think Conte is begging for the sack. Taking off Hazard when you're 1-0 down is just crying out for it.
