Kev proves he’s an absolute bottle job. Fuck all wrong with him the other night

Jesus mate that is seriously unfair.

A bottle job is the last thing I'd call de bruyne. He dragged us to that treble last season with a half a hamstring. Had his face broken in the final v chelsea and scored on Wednesday.

There's no way on this earth he came off because he was scared

Kev didn’t drag us anywhere last season in my opinion. It was probably the best all round team performance I’ve ever seen in a season. Haaland stood out, Gundo won us games. Bernardo second leg of the semi. Stones adapting to his new role with ease. Carson making everyone laugh.
But I’d say the whole team was phenomenal.

The whole team was phenomenal. That's for sure.

Kev isn't a bottler though.

Not even close mate

I worry about Rodri. It looked very much like he needed a rest. Cant help thinking its risky but hopefully it works out.

Anybody worried that Pochettino seems to be lucky against Pep, thinking of the Spurs games mostly.

Chelsea XI: Petrovic, Gusto, Chalobah, Silva, Cucurella, Caicedo, Gallagher, Madueke, Palmer, Fernandez, Jackson.

Subs: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Disasi, Gilchrist, Chilwell, Chukwuemeka, Mudryk, Sterling, Washington.

Caicedo to leave his studs on a few shins, Gallagher to do the same and be all over the pitch. Jackson and Palmer to catch us on the break all afternoon.
Not confident at all

He came off as he was tired - that’s called being a bottler .
He’s 30 odd years old and is a supposed athlete ffs !!

In that game you play till you drop ffs ! he missed the chance to win us the game with a dead cert goal and he fucked it up , his head went down and then asked to come off .

He is not a bottler in the grand scheme of things but he certainly bottled out by coming off against Real Madrid .

Today I expect every fucking player to play like their lives depend on it .

I think we will win this game .

This tiredness narrative is being overthought, I blame Pep for this. They are fully trained athletes for fucks sake it is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy, tired my fucking arse, soft cunts should get on with the fucking game

No other team moans about. Havent seen Rice ask to come off. Couldn’t imagine Klopp’s reaction if a player asked him to come off.

This is their job ffs. All they do is train for 2 hours a day and then go home.

Yep. We played twice a week pretty much February onwards last season and it wasn't an issue.

Rodri giving it his all in that huddle. We know who the real captain is and so do the players

Early goal.please

COME ON CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck off Jack

Lets hope we have our shooting boots on today, and lets hope we shoot from outside the box when we can

Palmer limping like he’s had the Rüdiger BBC treatment

Stones caught in possession already, Grealish first touch wasted a good attack. Palmer hobbling atm, a good sign

Alvarez ran more in 2 minutes than Haaland since Christmas.

That Jackson is a repulsive cunt.

Commentator “it’s whether he went through him to get it, but it looked clean enough”. Just waffling

Walker gives it away..
