Chelsea's minimum conceded to Manchester City on the road in the match of the 29th round of the English Premier League.

"We came to upset them, and from time to time it turned out, but in the end we lost, so there is nothing good in this".

"This was our game plan, but we must take responsibility for our performance. We had to try and reduce their efforts to zero. They try to force you to lose your position, frustrate plans when playing in defense and everywhere to play the ball. This is how they create for themselves the space between the two lines ".

"We diligently tried, as far as possible, to prevent this, but with the players that they have, sometimes they managed to do it".

"It was hard. It seemed that we were always running, but they had plenty of time. It's unpleasant to miss a goal scored in the manner in which they scored ".

"We did not use counterattacks as well as we could do it. Periodically, we casually disposed of the ball. We moved a lot without the ball, so it all boiled down to finding a balance. This is offensive, because we could draw 0:

0, and this would not be a bad result ".

"We need to return to the victorious path. The sooner this happens, the better. Separation can be shortened, positions can be changed, and we need to make these changes. It is necessary to think about those glasses that we can get. There are 9 matches left, this is 27 points, and it can still change ".

After 29 matches, Chelsea scored 53 points and ranked fifth in the Premier League standings, behind the fourth line by five points.
