@Football Made Simple - HOW DID CITY HAVE AH HIGHER SG THAN CHELSEA WHEN CITY HAD 9 SHOTS IN TOTAL OF WHICH 3 WERE ON TARGET WHEREAS CHELSEA HAD 10 SHOTS IN TOTAL WITH 5 ON TARGET. CITY KEEPER MADE 3 SAVES TO CHELSEA'S KEEPER MAKING 2. REMEMBER CHELSEA ALSO HAD 3 GOALS CANCELLED FOR OFFSIDE WHICH DOESN'T EVEN COUNT ONTO THE SG STATISTICS. CITY DIDN'T REALLY CREATE A LOT IN THIS MATCH.

Tbf Man City's percentage of rotation was a lot higher than Chelsea's, and this time it's a Man City B team without De Bruyne. Still, Tuchel managed to beat City twice with their B team with and without De Bruyne. It's basically like Tuchel letting Pep know that Chelsea's B team are at least as strong as City's, or even arguably stronger since they beat them twice with significant results both in Cup and in the PL. Suppode Chelsea are getting a big signing this summer, let's say s.o like Lukaku, or Haaland (though unlikely), or Lewandowski, H Kane etc... That would be a terrifying thought that would keep Pep up at night.

Tuchel has and will always be a genius. Even as an arsenal fan it irks me that Chelsea got a hold of such a manager.

[@zaza7895]

I think tuchel was the also the one who asked for the role , probably saw alot of potential

[@chazclifford327]

@@zaza7895 I wouldn't doubt that he did that. Chelsea would always attract big name managers an ever hot prospects because of their owner's ambition and willingness to always back the man at the helm. However, their sacking culture can be a turn off at times as noted by reliable journalists who mentioned that this culture played a big role in pep turning down the role on a number of occasions during the last couple years. However, tuchel has been given a fantastic squad to work with. Chelsea has become everything that I wanted to my club to evolve into after the golden arsenal era of the invincibles... European giants. From top to bottom we have a clear lack of leadership, unrealistic objectives since the investment does not match it and an obvious culture of accepting the state of things as is (be it good or bad). Why would a manager like tuchel, allegri, simeone, ten haag or even luis Enrique take on such a position at arsenal where you basically have to be a politician talking about how things ought to be rather than what it is;Not being given a war chest to address the obvious frailties within the squad; inexperienced CEO and technical director who is supposed to provide you with direction, but instead you may be giving them directives which makes your job even harder. It's so rotten that we cannot even reap any sort of meaningful success again. So rotten that we have to dig up the seed of mediocrity that was planted in our club in 2007 when KSE took over and replant it with the seed of success. We are just awful on an off the field. A poorly run club with no direction whatsoever. By the way, sorry about my rant

Nobody’s talking about a certain Gilmore that played a full game bossing Rodri in the middle of the pack. That’s an insurance policy if anything happens to Kante for the finals hopefully Kovacic is back on 🔥. The main reason we are doing this well comes down to science, Pep’s City have been intense for 4 seasonslikewise Klopp’s Liverpool, hence the downturn. City usually score in the first third of the second half but vs Chelsea, they have been knackered by halftime. Chelsea have small players who can run with the ball in linear and multidirectional directions while City have a lot of big, tall players that are disadvantaged and also tired from the hectic season. Usually, teams arrive a little knackered at the UCL finals but not this Chelsea team

The difference between halves could be summed up by Gilmour. 1st half - struggled 2nd half - pendulum-like His second half stats must have been mad. Never lost the ball. Took out 3 leading to the disallowed goal. So cool under pressure, a very Pep-like player.

[@nehemiahjacobs1987]

When you think of it chelsea had about 3 or 4 offside chances

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Offsides don't count as chances though

[@yusufyahaya8448]

Credit goes to quality defenders who know how to set an offside trap. It doesnt goes to the strikers that couldnt break the trap

[@mrs8171]

@@FootballMadeSimple Agreed. At some point, we have to stop forgiving the rookie mistakes made by Werner. Nice guy sure, but his continued runs offsides, poor finishing, and poor first touch are becoming harder and harder to overlook and make excuses for. I hope for a front three of Havertz, Mount and Pulisic from now on, but Tuchel seems to LOVE Werner.

Both managers playing poker with each other, and, waiting for the first to show hand. This game is a test match for Pep G to feel out Tuchel before the big one, since the league is almost as good as won.

[@alberthenriette8976]

Analyzing chelsea games against Madrid and 2 last games against city. Chelsea haven't change much tactically. This is a disadvantage for the UCL. Pep will also have an FA final to studyTuchel tactics facing Leceister. On the other hand Pep never played his real game facing chelsea in last too matches.

This game doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things as both the managers were quite hesitant to put their full team The game on 29th would be quite interesting

[@failuretolaunch4571]

I think that this shape will useful for the final for city. If they play the same false 9 system in Istanbul(or Villa Park), The front 4 of KDB, Mahrez, Silva and Foden will be better suited to make runs from deeper positions than Kun or Jesus. Maybe it might work.

Pep wanted to mirror Chelsea as they had a "3 at the back" formation. However Walker sitting deep may have been a better option than Ake as Walker is fast and can mark Werner.

I see most people here lookin at the end result & making a picture in their mind that Chelsea was a better side. They're very good but City was better , end result doesn't tell the whole story. One more thing is 9 players from the usual squad didn't play. That's a huge miss

[@elijahgoverdun5704]

You're all such hypocrites. You claim to have the best squad and it's so deep and what not. But suddenly when you lose you start giving excuses about playing "backup" players. Except Nathan Ake all your players played half or more games this season. They're not back players, they are rotational. So stfu with your "huge miss". The only thing city missed is a clear plan. Tuchel outclassed Pep again. And City wasn't better at any point. First half was a stalemate until Christiansen injury. You can hear the commemtator saying that. He also said Chelsea looked the more threatening. And second half was all Chelsea. Should have scored 5 or even more. And Chelsea too missed 5 regular starters you know. And those who played only got 2.5 days of rest after traveling back from an away mid week game played 1 day later than City. Christensen injured because of fatigue and city scored only because of that. But City had 4 days to rest and train because they played 1 day earlier than Chelsea and that too at home. Plus Chelsea come into this game under huge pressure to win in order to stay top 4 while also having lingering thoughts of 2 cup finals. City players had zero pressure whatsoever. So City with fresher legs, fresher freer minds got outplayed and outclassed. Stop making stupid excuses, its unbecoming at this point of a team that are gonna be league champions.

Koeman and Guardiola lined up the same this week. The 3-1-4-2 is very similar to Cruyff’s 3-1-2-1-3. If one of the strikers drops off to collect the ball from midfield you’re pretty much there.
