Bredbury Blue Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Why dont kit manufacturers interview every season 10-15 fans, ask them what they like n don't like and design 5 kits around that, present to the fans to choose from. Every club has certain colours/designs the fans relate to, i.e. big favourite with City fans for the away kit is the '69 FA cup red and black stripes last used in Mancini days but now we get wierd and wonderful colours and patterns we can't relate to.

From a distance you would not be able to distinguish the cryptic black artwork. Perhaps it's got something to do with the marks that the Yoko tyre treads leave in the mud? The other night I was watching a game on the internet and one team was playing in blue and the other in light green. Misplaced passes all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithsimmonds Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thought the ref had blinder....or was he just blind??? Elbows and bad tackles aside,it was quite a good watch imho. Thought Higuain was completely thuckking useless and should not have started the 2nd half. Wilian....done him to death nothing to add....other than he was side by side with Shaw for there opener,but failed to track his run. Cant keep relying on Hazard,but very little happens without him. Kovacic was everywhere,fair play to him,Dave seemed to "Man up " last night which was also a positive imo. Jorhino... did not really know he was there,not sure whether thats a good thing or not. Alonso took his chance well and wasn,t that bad. 4th place is in our own hands now but we must beat Watford to make it happen imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsimmonds Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Great second half performance which should have seen us leave the pitch worthy winners,but no such luck and the game now hangs in the balance. Loftus Cheek and Kante were excellent imo,the rest were okay with the exception of Pedro and Willian who were both shitt imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the ball away with impunity and no effort. Then we started to press for the equaliser with Loftus- Cheek putting his stamp on the game. The goal gave us the confidence to run the second half. I must admit, I expected more from Frankfurt but they didn't press us until late in the game. They were also shattered at the end with players cramping up. Famous last words, but I can see us winning the return leg comfortably. Yes, Kante was different class Keith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post keithsimmonds Posted May 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2019 I hope Cahill gets a run out tonight at some point, under the right circumstances.

keithsimmonds Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 A first half to forget and a second half to remember.....it,s a funny old game. Loftus Cheek yet again steps up to the plate and should be a definite starter,a truly massive influence going forward and super strong in midfield. Pedro for me is toilet,Higuain despite his goal ...also toilet,Alonso painfully slow, Dave was shocking in that first half and not much better in the second....bring back Reece James to replace Dave....unless we play 3 at the back. I would have Kurt Zouma over Christensen who imo is not quite strong enough against certain players. Giroud you play for Chelsea now not Arsenal.....cut out trying to go for the spectacular and keep it simple. Transfer ban or not we need a defensive coach more than anything else. 10 players in the box for all corners and free kicks is just a complete and utter joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt look like a Chelsea kit without White socks Don't fret about the socks, apparently the blue ones are for "aways" to avoid a sock clash. White ones for home kit.

Cant have that. 2016/2017 2nd most appearances (41) behind Dave (45) ....Terry (6) went from a back four to a three, got Premier league winners medal and runners up Fa cup.....both Terry and Ivan were finished. That was probably one of his best season,s and no Terry to hold his hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to work out how we've qualified for the Champions League considering the congested fixture list (61 games in total this season including the Community Shield), the turmoil pre season when Conte took the first training session under sufferance, the mid season b*****ks when Sarri refused to see the that some players were woefully out of form and should have been benched and consistently ignored the obvious credentials of Hudson -Odoi and Loftus -Cheek, even though the dimmest village idiot on the terraces knew the score. Loads of mistakes been made but, somehow, we've worked our way through it. Arsenal and Tottenham's loss of form in the Premier League plus United spectacular implosion has helped us along the way. A club needs a good manager but also a lucky one, and Sarri definitely has the latter attribute. It would be a bit harsh to get rid of him after what's been achieved this season, although that has never stopped Abramovich from wielding the sword e.g Di Matteo. Considering the soap opera around the club at the start of the season and Sarri's rushed preparation, I'd be inclined to give him another chance, in the hope that he's learnt his lesson and bins his cantankerous behaviour. If the transfer ban is upheld, he's got his work cut out next season anyway, as Hazard is guaranteed to leave as well as a few old codgers, but it will be refreshing to see some of the younger lads bursting on the scene. I think Harry Maguire will leave Leicester in the summer and I'm hoping that we'll be in for him, transfer ban permitting of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sarri stays i will look forward to the last 6 weeks of the season when Reece James, Mason Mount, Dujon Sterling Fikayo Tomori,Tammy Abraham,Jay Dasilva,Kylian Hazard, Kasey Palmer, and maybe Clarke Salter ......get a run out. Get Terry back as defence coach and i might be happy....errrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
