CITY XI | Caballero, Clichy, Stones, Kompany (c), Fernandinho, Delph, Sane, Silva, De Bruyne, Navas, Aguero

Bravo, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Fernando, Toure, Sterling, Nolito

Interesting team. great to see Vinny back at last. I've got a feeling Navas will score tonight.

Who for though?...

Navas score? What coffee are you dtinking Gav?

well that did not take long did it!

Well, worst case scenario. They score first.

We just can't defend and they can.

Aguero! 1-1.

Now try and keep it tight and sneak a goal on the counter.

Get in Kun!

Feck.

Not a bad half apart from their goals, again. Same old story whatever he does with the team really. We can do it second half but I wouldn't put much money on it. We're always too likely to concede another. I'd settle for a point.

Calamity Caballero for the first goal.
Delph looked a bit rusty, but has grown into the game. I hope he doesnt get the hook.  Fernandinho looks like he is knackered. Navas=Cafu, only in Peps world.

typical Chelski leading so break up play with cynical fouls.

Nolito.....

No idea how we didn't get a point tonight.

We again conceded 2 goals away from home. That's why we don't get at least a point.

I'm guessing it's because we defend like shit and didnt create chances.

Zzzz indeed. I'm fed up of saying it.

Story of our season. Can't defend.

We weren't great second half and I wouldn't say we put them under enough pressure to complain too much. However Stones had two excellent chances and I thought Sergio could have done better to get ahead of the defender when a cross came in. Stones should have buried that header. Another disappointment in a very disappointing season. Not good enough.

How on earth did Dean get to 90 minutes before booking one of theirs? As usual they were kicking Silva all night. Yet he managed to book three of ours! It should have been a pen first half for Luiz shoving Sergio too.

I have to say though that most of our problems are self made at the back. I don't think a single one of us if told beforehand that we would score only one goal would have thought we would get anything out of the game. Had we scored early in the second half we wouldn't have hung on to it.

A very disappointing season. We've underperformed at all levels. The players have been poor. Peps been poor and the player recruitment has been poor.

At the moment the team has non confidence. We've finished the really tough run, but in all honesty I can see us getting much better.

Our record in the games that count and against out main rivals is appalling and is something of a stain for Pep's record.

Fancy tactics are good only when they work and bring wins not defeats.

Lots of work needed and a whole new defence and goalkeeper(s) of sufficient standard.
