Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Cos they're on their last legs. That whole team is.

I still wouldn;t bet against them winning La Liga as a final hurrah.

 

[davek]

None of them.

I was being kind, tbh.

Only Chelsea player that gets in City's team in possibly Kante. City are better in every position

Outside of KDB, the difference in the quality of the two sides is negligible at best.

Mendy = Ederson.
Chilwell and Cesar are better than Man City's fullbacks.
Kante Kovacic Jorginho are just as good as Man City's midfielders.
Mount is on the same level as Foden.
Defensively, Thiago Silva is more experienced than any City defender and Rudiger is a better defender than Stones, but Dias is probably slightly better than both.
Havertz, Pulisic, Mount and Werner are just as effective up front as Mahrez, Bernardo and Foden.

It's not about who gets in what team. A lot of City players wouldn't be getting in Chelsea's team either, like Ederson wouldn't be getting ahead of Mendy for example. It's about the overall quality and the quality is negligible, if we remove KDB from the conversation.

The huge issue is that this Chelsea team hugely underperformed under a rookie manager previously and it's making people doubt the true quality of this Chelsea side, to the point it's being overexaggerated.

Lol.

Mount and Kante and maybe Pulisic gets a game for City.

Go read my response to @Wizard. I've explained it perfectly.

Such modesty

Debatable.

When it really matters City have the players to blow Chelsea away.

I really rate Tuchel and have for a long time. He's completely driven and knows how to set up.

IMO though, this is a season too early for them with the top prizes. They'll be City's main challenger in the PL in the next few years.

BTW, I got slaughtered for saying at the start of the season that Chelsea were a very good bet to come through and challenge. They have the quality youngsters to build on and the transfer ban was played to their advantage.

Finally, I give credit to Lampard for bringing this team together and believing in the younger players.

We briefly touched it last night and whilst I think it could be too soon for Chelsea in some regards, they’re still now 90 minutes from a Champions League Trophy. It’s not like Tottenham, they’re genuinely a good team, and I feel it would be harsh to discount them.

They have had City’s number in the cup, so that’ll certainly buoy them.
Will be a cracking final!

I read it - it's a dog's breakfast of assertions with zero credibility.

I liked the bit where he said Ederson wouldn't play instead of Mendy.

Don’t sit on the fence now davek

Chelsea v Man City in the Champions League final. I'm old enough to remember that being a clash in the old Second Division back in the 1988/89 season.

Hope Chelsea win it now. Can't stand City and their gobshite followers.

Strongly disagree but we all have opinions and mine is no better than yours

Oh wow @emir having a total shocker here

I’m not even going to respond to his post because it’s so stupid.
