I don’t think it is a problem to score early. It is a problem to score early, then turtle and try to hold a one goal lead for 75 minutes or the like. Citeh have to be made to play defence, as a team they are built to beat Chelsea in the 2012 semi-final.
This City team are not built to have to defend for a full 90 mins, they’re used to teams trying to shithouse and sit back to defend a lead against them.
I forgot about my pledge. I started the morning with a leisurely walk with the dogs, made myself some coffee and sat down ready for a 9:30 kick off. I turned the telly on, saw the score, and spilled my coffee everywhere at the speed I moved at to try to turn the fucker off before I ruined everything.
