Trippier off injured. Brilliant.

He's not getting anymore minutes for Chelsea with Jackson and Nkunku there.

He finally figured out the best team out of that squad of nonsense and started to get some results and now they sack him. Brilliant.

Henderson not in it but Cutis Jones is. 

Players are still on the pitch celebrating and the stadium is empty. 

In his last season for us he only played 26 games and got 10 assists, hes only managed 1 more than that for City in 3 seasons.

He's won a fair bit now, he must be getting bored and want to play with some freedom.

Don't think he's being sold is he.

Think he is.

Gauci being asked to move from Australia mid season indicates to me they are getting him ready for next season. If they felt he needed to be loaned out still they would have left him in Australia for the rest of the season. 

Isak and Dalot on my bench. Picked Webster over Dalot for the max pain to sum this season up.

I’ve never claimed to understand or see any point to xG but doesn’t that mean it’s actually worse than it looks?

Means they are just being ruthless and we've been the opposite. They should be winning, but based on chances they have created 5-0 is probably a bit much. 

xG is still fairly close, 2.1 v 1.2. Not as bad as it looks.

We are missing an entire 11, plus zero subs and a CB who doesn't get any minutes for us rolled out in CM.

Bailey, Tielemans, Emi would all play if needed so can't really class them as injured. Every player plays with injuries but there's just zero point risking them when they have internationals in 2 weeks time. 

Stronger than I expected, didn't think he'd roll out Luiz and McGinn but fair play to them. Assume they will come off at some point.

Uuurgh what a horrible looking team. 

 

I suppose the result doesn't matter but we don't want to end the season with a shoeing. 

I could be wrong but its very unusual them lot not to post Insta stories if they are playing/in the squad.

McGinn could be in there but with the video of him out on the lash midweek plus Euros round the corner I would be surprised. 

Olsen
Konsa - Carlos - Lenglet - Digne
KKH - Chambers - Tim - Diaby
Duran - Watkins

Looks like it's going to end up something like this to me.

Martinez, Luiz, Pau and Bailey usually always have pre-match Instagram stories up, nothing so far. Carlos, Digne, Diaby have them up. 

Don't think I've ever had a red arrow on a bench boost before. This season can get in the bin.

Just needs to slow thing downs a bit, gain some composure and control. First season, can't fault the effort and still put up some decent numbers while not really finding his position. Think he will click next season.

Doesn't always come off but he knows what he wants to do when he gets the ball. He can hit a football.

Was just about to bet on Spurs at evens and it went to suspended

I’m sorry but come on ? Cash has played there before right ? He is not a stranger to the role.

Yeh that's my issue if you've watched him play RW before. Put Tim in from the off, push McGinn further forward and put Bailey in his actual position.

Not slating Emery, I just think it was too passive and we should have played a more attacking set of players. Not many options for sure but could have taken more risk IMO.

We go short and back to Martinez. 

Pointless giving Cash a rest now, take someone else off instead.

We had to score goals today and we played Cash RW. Subs should have been made at HT. 

Half decent full back but looks miles worse in this system. Team is a level above now, time to shift out and replace.
