Werner kicking the flag trying to take the short corner?!
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Why did they let them retake the corner? Werner shat the bed and kicked the flag but the ball was kicked and went to another player.
That can't be right
Maybe but we can only judge Werner on what he’s offering at Chelsea. Would’ve been interesting to see where Klopp would’ve played him. Probably as a number 9 instead of Firmino.
Werner's movement was all wrong on that breakaway.
Eh?
Werner 
He is hilariously bad, brainless footballer.

Because that's the rules.
They won the first half, we won the second.
A point each seems the only reasonable outcome.

Man, watching Werner play the no 9 role, Tony is way better. Nagelsmann deserves massive praise for making Werner look like a footballer. German Dan James.
100% always a risk when you buy that many players.
Chelsea 'won the second half'. OK Tyler.
Satire?
Of course the dickheads score right at the end when there was feck all to play for.
Had city to keep a clean sheet for fecks sake.
Hate Chelsea even more than usual now.

Probably City's best performance this season but some players still need to do better - mainly Bernardo and Sterling. Also Cancelo had few brainfarts today.
Something about Neville's use of "match" rather than "game" that doesnt sit right with me
21st January 2020 away to Sheffield United was his last Premier League goal.
I agree, Pep had his own little winter mini-break.
Won the second half. Progress.
@padr81 is it right that Aguero hasn’t scored a league goal since January 2020?
Blimey.
Amazing. Doesn’t sound right to me either.
This for the most part has not been true this season
Yup in fairness he's had about 4 starts all while crocked in 2020. I think he's scored 1 goal in all comps in the last 10 months, when he came on as a sub a couple of weeks ago before he got crocked again. He had 16 in 24 before last January then he done his knee and has been out since. Says he has 2 goals in 8 apps this season but I only recall the one.
He'll be off in the summer, will still score goals where he goes but he's not able for the rigors of the PL anymore. I should add, not that he won't score, just that he'll constantly break down.
Since then he's played in 11 Premier League matches for a total of 486 mins (6 starts).
They may get their chance sooner rather than later with how rapidly the virus is spreading right now.
City looked very good. Agreed they won’t have this space against others but with their depth I would say they have better chance than Pool (and probably us maybe). I keep thinking stubborn Klopp is gonna run them into the ground physically.
Just checked, it’s true. He hasn’t scored in the league since January 21, 2020. He only played 137 minutes in the league during this season though.
I wouldn't be so confident in us, Ole is like kryptonite to Pep.Excuses in early?
Yeah seems like he’s getting on a bit and injuries are catching up. He’s been phenomenal for you. One of the Premier League’s best ever. I won’t miss him scoring against us every time we play you at the Etihad.
Worst outcome, Chelsea didn't even tire City. Hopefully the semi final will be a much more competitive game.
If you kick the corner flag you retake the corner? Never knew that.
For sure, he's always been injury prone, think it comes from super short hamstrings or something. One of those things that can't be fixed and add in the wear and tear of many years in the PL and playing top level football since 17 and I think the recoveries take too long now. For me only Henry comes above him in terms of the PL strikers even though there are arguments for Rooney and Shearer too. His goals per minute will likely never be matched or beaten, even Harry Kane or Salah haven't reached it, which is strange as they score so many more.
Whats interesting is we're at a stage where the club legends are all gone or on the way out now so Pep has to rely on his players (with KDB and Raheem)
Live and learn!
They’ll make changes so will we
It 1000% will be. Ole won't have one player defending the counter from corners or be nearly as naive. Plus you guys if you play your best XI are currently above Chelsea quality wise.
