Micah Richards felt sorry for Chelsea against Man City
Chelsea have lost their last three league games by a combined score of 7-0 and have not scored a league goal since the 4-1 win against Aston Villa on March 4.
Not many expected the Blues to get anything out of the game, but you could argue that their plan worked in the first half.
However, after the break City were able to raise their level and Chelsea simply had no response and were swept away.
It was another damaging defeat that put more pressure on Liam Rosenior, but Richards later admitted feeling sorry for Chelsea.

“I felt a bit sorry for Chelsea because they had a plan,” he told The Rest Is Football.
“It seemed like the plan was working. The game opened up a little bit and then in games, it’s all about moments, right?
“And Chelsea don’t defend at the key moment and then don’t score when they’re up.
“And then Manchester City, we’re always going to take advantage of the opportunity once it presents itself, because they’ve got quality players and players who have to win, you know what I mean?”
