Malang Sarr

I think people outside of Chelsea don't understand the importance of James and Chilwell to us and in my opinion, their absence is what's derailed us over the last few months.

We have no like for like players to fill in for them of the same level.

Combine missing them today with the fact we started with the totally ineffectual Ziyech and Pulisic who have shown no form in the last two seasons and there was only one outcome today.

I also think it's a tribute to Rudiger, Silva and Sarr that it was only 1 nil - and Sarr just looks better every game he plays very impressed by him again today!

100% Brummie. The wing backs are arguably the most important part of how we play so missing those two for so many games was always going to feck us.

We need better replacement options there than Alonso and Azpi.

Definitely agree regarding Reece James and Chilwell.

They pretty much create most of our chances and funnily
enough are probably our most clinical players in front of goal

They are to us, what Mane and Salah are to Liverpool - take them out and we're a different team!

Have to disagree there Brummie, well last part anyways. Chitty were terrible and only an amazing KDB goal better than us. The defence really didn't need to work that hard, however they done their jobs and played well. But yeh Reece and Chilly are so important to to us in this formation, and their injuries have cost us a title fight.

Kepa was also pretty good today, no reason to fear him. Couldnt do much about the goal Kante lost debryne there on the edge of the box was always gonna give us trouble.

Yep agree totally. We are a completely different attacking force when those two play. But Tuchel has to find a easy to make us effective without them.

The only players who provide true width without them are Alonso (but the defensive price is too high) and CHO if he's playing on the right.

It's the equivalent of Liverpool not having both Robertson & TAA for an extended period of time. One out is manageable but not both.

Not at all buddy

Well would you say our limited chances were down to Cities defence or the fact our forwards basically are incapable of kicking a football?

Hint: it has nothing to do with cities defence

As far as I'm aware, we weren't talking about our 'limited' chances!

Well what ever Brummie, our defence were fine today, but it wasn't because of them City didn't score more, they (our defence) barely got out of 2nd. City were poor, we were just as bad - poor footballing spectacle from according to the table, the 2 best teams in the country

I doubt City care too much about how they performed. Beat the side closest to them without having to play well

Of course not - as we say it's championship form if you can do that, and city did. 10 seconds was all it took.

We manage a game and win our 12 straight win and you are crying for a spectacle

14 points behind at game 22 after being 5 points ahead at some point. 19 points swing. I know the poor team

Chelsea having No shots in the first half also helps.
Its a pity its the 2nd game we have stopped you from playing any sort of football. Guess you will be better next season

Yeh pretty certain City managed a magnificent 2 all game, congratulations on that. Your strongest team out and you barely managed to squeak past an injury ridden Chelsea another great job. Must have missed the parts when you "stopped us"

I have a feeling our paths will meet again in the CL this season and yes we must be better than in our last two meetings against you.

No shots at goal in the first half.

Admittedly you started playing well after we scored but I doubt your players or manager even believed they could challenge for this title. You Came with a damage limitation mindset and it kinda worked.

Still, we have picked up 6 points from your lot. Strong squad or Covid hit squad. Irrelevant

Would be a mini replication of Liverpool/Chelsea dynamic from the 00's there.

They're clearly better & show us in the league, but for some reason we have their number in the cups

*obviously we'd be playing the Liverpool role in this scenario
