My mate had a bet once, when we were all in the pub watching the goons in Europe. The bet was Arsenal to win 3-1, Ray Parlour to score first. Paid about 33/1 and he was a bag of nerves for the last 20 minutes, then cock-a-hoop at the final whistle. Til he went next door to Billy Hills to collect and realised that while Arsenal had won 3-1 and Ray Parlour scored their first, the first goal of the game was actually scored by the other team.
City giving Chelsea too much space, they need to get into them and wind them up, in the way Villa did.
City playing the occasion. All that effort and failed attempts getting to a CL final and they're afraid to play.
Take off the spoofer, put Foden left and bring on Aguero. Bish bash bosh job done. At the other end, take off Werner, put on the beardie one, bing bang bong 2-1. Game over.
Chelsea have got City’s number. Feels too similar to the FA Cup semi final between the two; City have a good amount of the ball but doing **** all with it whilst Chelsea break and cause problems. Can see this staying as it is, with Chelsea maybe even grabbing another on the counter once City get desperate.
Both Werner and Sterling are excellent at pulling defences apart. Good chance they'll miss though if the ball falls to them.
