[Albion] Premier League 2-5/1/23

[Silverhatch]

To be scrupulously fair, Chelsea have played well. Could have gone either way tonight. Might still.....

They have played like a Potter side, but crucially OUR current side is (much) better than this Chelsea side

Oh so familiar...

I forsee a teeth-sucking, shoulder-shrugging "it is what it is" post match interview.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Have they? Not sure I’m watching the same game, City have played very poorly aside from a 10 minute spell and have comfortably won the game.

Very even stevens. Both have hit the woodwork, a decent goal from the subs is the difference. And Chelsea had 2 off injured in the first 20 or so.

 

[Simster]

Who cares whether Chelsea deserved to lose or not. They did, and it's bloody lovely.

 

[The Fits]

They're going to be very wound up those Chelsea fans. City were awful first half, simply awful. Yes they had injuries, yes they've had injuries, but on and off the field they're a mess and sadly Potter is going to take the brunt of the shit tonight again. Improving that much by bringing on three kids isn't testament to the quality of the kids, it's a reflection on how poor their senior, highly paid players are playing. There's no real game plan. It was more like a cup game- just about stay in the game and then throw on some wildcards.
They just don't seem to have a clue.

The rate of spending will hopefully see them do a Leeds, which would be nice.

 

[pocketseagull]

No other PL team has had fewer shots on goal at home than Chelsea this season.

Yes.

Isn't it wonderful?!!

 

[jcdenton08]

Cucurella has been absolutely ROASTED this half, City have targeted him and they’ve gone past him at ease.

Clear game plan by Manchester City in the second half. “Get at him”, basically.

 

[El Turi]

He got away with these kind of poor runs here but there’s no way the Chelsea fans will be so forgiving. Especially so early into his reign.

 

[ManOfSussex]

10 points off a Champions League spot, 19 points off top spot, 10 points off a relegation spot, 3rd best side in West London...........Potter still needs a history lesson in that football club and Chelsea need an interim manager.

 

[zefarelly]

I assumed Gpot knew what it was going to be like.

Clearly not.

 

[Simster]

How much worse do we think it can get at Chelsea? Apart from being out of the cup at the weekend obviously.

It's almost as enjoyable as watching Palace failing to fight a relegation battle.

 

[Sheebo]

Well what a fantastic, perfect set of results this midweek eh

 

[rool]

Obviously no idea what was being discussed but looked like Aspilicueta and Silva were having a 'he doesn't know what the f### he's doing' type conversation on the pitch at the end.

 

[Guinness Boy]

This. Worst I’ve seen KDB play. Pep had to send in the cavalry, in the form of two youth players, Grealish and Mahrez. We’d have beaten City tonight

 

[Hugo Rune]

He didn’t with our more idiotic and entitled fans. There was a reasonably big Potter Out campaign played out on here in part.

Unfortunately for Potter, Chelsea has many, many more idiotic and entitled fans than we’ll ever have. Their horrid club is stuffed full of them. He is toast.

 

[jakarta]

Well I suppose he's going be paid a fair amount before he spends his time in Garden Centres back down here so not too sorry for him...
