Hello and welcome to Blue Roxy, a London its blue podcast dedicated to the Chelsea women's

team, I'm your host Jespa Cumpfries, joined by Abdullah Abdullah and Oli Granville after

potentially one of the most stressful, what the fuck, head scrambling games that we might

see this season, a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the Joy Stadium. I don't even know how

to begin something up this game, I guess the headlines were, City went ahead, Alex Rume was

then sent off for two yellow cards, after about half an hour and Chelsea slogged through

to eventually find an equaliser despite City then going down, another player when Lauren Hemp

was sent off. Abdullah, I'll come to you first, how are you processing this game because I'm

not sure if I've processed any of it yet. I don't know, I mean we're an hour removed from

the game, I'm still extremely confused as to what just happened because like that was,

there have been bad performances but that was down there with one of the worst performances

I've seen it away from home, like we've played some games away from home, we've been not

great but we've come away with saying, okay fine you kind of deserve that point or three

point, this was just horrific, I mean and against nine players, yes I know we talked about

it's slightly harder to play against eight nine and a ten players but that just felt like

we were nine men down and they were the ones killing us on transition games, I was extremely

surprised, everyone looked off pace, I don't know is the answer, it's weird.

Yeah I think we're the best way to sum that up already.

Yeah I mean listen, it's the perfect storm you know we're at the joy stadium or the city

academy stadium and now you know it's our first away game in the season and quite frankly

you know they could have, she could have sent up another seven players and I'm not sure

we would have scored in any other way other than the way we actually did.
