****Chavs v Champions League Semi Finalists****

[Mase]

Half time. Decent first half.

[PrezIke]

Why the hell does Otamendi do that?! Just dive in when he's no chance of getting the ball!! Chelsea with a good chance now. Willian.

I honestly thought he was risking being sent off there.

[CTID Hants]

Half time. Decent first half.

Despite that last challenge and card Otamendi having a good game, in fact no one having a mare imo, keep it up lads

[Slim]

End to end. I'm knackered just watching.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Better side by far imo and we maybe should be 2 up. Certainly had a good number of more than decent chances. So far so good with Yaya in that central role. Some decent stuff on the ball as ever but I will always worry about the defensive part of his game. Superb pass to put Kevin through after he won the ball.

[Bluedj]

Disappointed we're not 3 up

[Cocacolajojo]

Fuck sake Cahill is having a decent game. Probably his only decent game....ever!

Not sure how he beat kun in a foot race!?

Because Kun's lost a lot of speed. Whether it's a permanent thing or if it's down to injury remains to be seen. But it's been clear for a while now that he's not as fast and not as daring as he used to be.

Maybe that's it. Just doesn't push as hard for fear of injury

Let's hope it's something along those lines. I adore him but I don't think he'll adapt well to being a slower player.

Worst player in the day probably F1 but I'll cut him some slack.

It's not one of his better games.

Strange because sometimes he breezes past people. He just doesn't seem keen to go on a long flat out sprint.

Not that I'm complaining

[s1ty m]

KDB is some player.

[iwasthere2012]

Nbc railing on navas as they usually do about his lack of goals and final ball asking why he's in there with a team of our quality. Reality is there aren't a lot of true wingers and he is one that does help on both ends as we know. He's also in because of constant injuries to our best attacking midfielders. Clearly pep will look to find a better player...Sané?

I think he's doing really well. At least three balls he put across their 6 yard line that should have been attacked. One Kun did attack that he should have scored from.

He's stretching their defence leaving room through the centre. The lads doing good.

[Stan]

Again, doing the hard thing well - Otamendi making a good tackle on Costa, but then just giving the ball straight back! Annoying.

Decent first half; should be up more but definitely giving the ball away too easily too many times.

I think he's reluctant to make an out and out sprint from a standing start. He seems to build speed from a running start.
Injury still on his mind I think.

[london blue 2]

Well done Nasri

[Mase]

Zaba got badly skinned by Pedro then! Come on Zaba lad.

[Mase]

They've come out pressing. If we can soak this up and catch them on the counter it should knock the stuffing out of them.

[stevefromdonny]

Zaba got badly skinned by Pedro then! Come on Zaba lad.

why run away from the man with the ball, ffs go towards him and make him play the ball

[Saul Goodman]

Lost count of times this season Navas plays a decent cross to the near post with no fucker there.

Talk to each other lads.

The only one that attacks the front post is Ian.

I know. Really annoying

Plus, when Aguero drops deep theres no one in the 6yd box!

[Mase]

No freekick no?
