Why Man City Keep Struggling Against Chelsea | #chelsea #mancity

Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

Chelsea emulated some of the same tactics used by Real Madrid in their narrow FA Cup loss this weekend.

Is this the best way to counter Pep Guardiola's dominant tactics?

Jon Mackenzie takes a look 🧠

Big difference is that Chelsea’s loaded gun keeps shooting blanks

[kamranrachlin]

“They can fashion 1v1 moments that their attacking players can exploit”

I wish.

[magicair]

Except Chelsea had Michael Jackson playing upfront

[alialsabty]

The players can exploit part is a bit overstated, but the rest is spot on

[jonpaul]

Basically Pep's current tactic would have big problems against 90s Italian teams with "one chance one goal" character, yes I'm looking at you Pippo😂

[martinzzincredible]

Unfortunately for Poch, Chelsea players couldn't finish the chances they created!

[__dane__]

The final could’ve easily been Coventry vs Chelsea

[nicolasjyaaakkson]

The difference is Real madrid had Rodrygo and Chelsea had Nicolas jackson😂

[WTF_whatthefootball]

Only difference was that we had Jackson

[georgennajiofor]

Ah but you've forgotten Man City's 12th man and secret weapon....Jackson😅😅😅😂

[floreslalo]

Difference is that Real Madrid finish their chances. Chelsea don’t 😭

[Bernard-jf]

This is why I feel like Poch is underrated by Chelsea supporters. Also even though the team didn't exploit these opportunities this time, they did in the last two games

[arthur_]

I really do not understand why liverpool were unable to generate these chances. Every game of Chelsea and city this season I can count the number of times per game that Chelsea were able to quickly break city possession and quickly attack city's last line on both hands, it really is astonishing how they manage it

[imrandom]

it honestly explains why madrid struggled with possesion and making multiple chances in the 2nd leg although in the first leg they had made lots of chances but in leg 2 city were all possession but wow madrid and chelsea did really well tactically

[simgiven]

Only If Jackson had his scoring boots on

[anubhav]

I mean Real Madrid was on the back foot for the most time, sometimes they went on attack but it was rare, Liverpool exploited the space city left more than any other team in my opinion

[djsejwal]

Poch always understand guardiola. Its the striker who let us down

[edismokhtasi]

Come back to this when united beat them like this in the cup final

[victor_jonez]

Real Madrid understudied arsenal defence tactic against city ahead of their return leg... COYG

[pupsishere]

@Manchester United & Erik Ten Hag should see this
