Kante! What a player!
Man City v Chelsea - The Champions League Final...
- Thread starter Raees
- Start date
Fortunate not playing against a team that roll, scream, berate the ref.
Chelsea just leave Kante back on his own for fks and corners ha
Kanté is the only player I will be happy for to win the champions league from this lot.
My favorite French player and the nicest human being playing football. He is just so quiet and humble. Did not forget where he came from. Love him.
I don’t give a feck about Daniel Dubois. This is a Champions League final.
Wish we'd stop with this American, advertising the future other sport events during a live event thing.
Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, KDB, Foden... All awful
Isn't Kante nursing a knock/injury too?
How Lampard managed to make Kante look a bit average is beyond me. Such a great footballer.
Yeah... could have been off already
Foden non existent. James & Rudiger great for Chelsea.
Close that? Doesn't get the ball and boot down the side of the leg.
If that was clearer to ref and not been carded already, he'd get a yellow. Rules seem to be used differently for the second yellow
Not hard. Lampard wasn't even playing him in the position that everyone in the world knows he plays. Absolute madness.
Didn't he play him as the furthest forward of the midfield with 2 men behind him.
This year yes but my point was about more than a year and the level of our performances in general, not just the results.
They're both Off-born
I heard he had a minor injury a couple of weeks ago.
Does Bernardo even play ?
what a way to get your yellowSilva was a weird inclusion. Has he even played much this season?
Ref
Wtf was Rudiger doing
Not looking good for KDB
Rudiger with the Sergio Ramos special
De Bruyne concussed
De Bruyne concussed
Yep, but Guardiola has made some odd decisions. Not really sure why Foden is pretty much playing striker when has played left wing most of the season.
De Bruyne might be done here
Any idea what material Rudigers face mask is made of? Could it cause damage if he makes contact with an opponent?
Someone should tell them they are playing in a League Cup final.
I don't see how people compare Kante and Fred's technical ability. It's not close, Kante is superior. He may not be a great passer, but he can hold the ball and knows when to release it. He knows how to position himself well enough to keep the ball against opposition pressure.
Look how chelsea's midfielders are able to provide good options for their defence. They can hold the ball, move it quickly, switch play.....this is how you build up against pressure. It's not coaching, its personnel. Their midfielders can both do this, which buys the defence more time on the ball. How does anyone expect us to be able to attack when we can't build up. Chelsea is showing how you do it. Midfield has to be our number one position of interest.

Ref lifting up Rudiger and booking him at the same time is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while.
Thats since 1995 or something though I think PL only.
Do they have concussion subs or will this count as one of the 5?
Play a centre forward in the centre forward position would be a start. Give the CHs something to worry about
Completely clueless. Such a good decision by Chelsea to sack him
KDB doesn't look too clever.
A sub? But it’s still normal time.
Woah. He's actually coming off?
Clothesline.
One more foul from Ilkay. Come on lad. Holidays await, get a head start.
Oh dear
