Honestly fine with that result given the first half battering. Really should have taken our chances but at least they showed a ton of fight in the second.
Donnarumma howlers and Semenyo selfishness killed us ultimately.
Tactically, we are being obliterated. Our methodical build-up and control style has been decimated by PSG’s press and aggression. Their passing has cut us open as well.
Semenyo very poor tonight. Guehi doesn’t quite look at the level against opponents of this quality - but I can give him some time. Donnarumma did poorly on the first goal but I can’t blame him for the other two.
Important to remember PSG are the best team in the world atm tho
On one hand I was really looking forward to today because we actually get to play football and talk about what happens on the pitch. I knew it wouldn’t be so simple but man, everyone has really been waiting to drop their take haven’t they?
I understand that I can’t bury my head in the sand but…I just want to watch football. I just want to talk about football. I’m tired of reading about legal processes and documents. I just like football.
I am not ITK but this is my gut feeling:
- Massive fine
- Points Deduction
- Transfer Ban
- No Titles Stripped
- City Appeal
- Perhaps points deduction reduced after that?
Dias looked slow, clumsy. Nunes and Gvardiol looked pretty poor in defense also.
End of the day, game won because we scored 5 goals. But defense needs to get sorted out.
Have a great international break, Blues. 🩵
I’m starting to believe that the absolute peak of AI is using it to slander and embarass rival players after losses. Maybe that was the point all along.
Foden deserved to go off. Bruno too. But Foden gotta be smarter than that. Gotta wonder how this is going to alter his standing in the side with Maresca.
