Chelsea pre-match thread

Navas had the best full back stats in the Premier League last weekend. Most tackles, good passing, created 3 chances.

I like team B better.

It will be good to finish the season on a good run and it is within the capability of the team to go on a winning streak starting from today. The team once again is very surprising but this time I do not agree with dropping Sterling, who has been the best player in the squad this season. Perhaps he is exhausted and needs a rest. I also do not agree with playing Delph after he has been out for so long and in such a difficult game. He will bring energy but I would prefer the quality and experience of Fernandinho or Yaya in that role for this game.

Kompany is back!!, which is good to see and we need his leadership in this game. Clichy will have to wake up or else it will be difficult.

Let's see how it plays out. Navas does deserve a run in the team and hopefully he can put in a good performance. Every player has to work hard and play with real desire to win.

What is pep playing at, Delph in such an important game, not played in how long? Sick of his little shocks, poor team selection in my point of view

So Vinny should be playing also, is that right?

 

[pudge]

By "addressing", do you mean typing "fucking hell" or slating the players chosen or our clueless manager?

No I mean those that are wondering why and where players will play and being generalised as "bed wetters" or having no balls by people who offer fuck all to the thread topic..

We are now capable of beating anyone on any given day, might not happen of course for reasons already experienced this season, but if we play well who knows. 5/1 for city win with both teams to score, looks tempting.(bet 365)

Some scardy cats on here matchday.

 

[CTID1977]

why so much hate towards City?

 

[abu13]

Fuck me sideways, I hope this is some sort of master stroke from Pep because to me it looks like a fucking shambles. i can't understand what he is trying to achieve here.

The longer i look at it the more fucked up it looks, I suppose Delph is more mobile than Yaya and the only way I could see Navas being involved was if he played him at fullback.

Maybe that's it, makes more sense to me.

Navas Kompany Stones Clichy
Ferny Delph
KDB Silva Sane
Aguero

 

[Powello]

Do we know what time Vinny goes off

Jesus Christ! At least wait to see how it works out!

It's true though..

Where is the hate in this tweet? I must be missing something lol.

 

[Mancityus]

I understand picking a team to surprise the opponent but with these constant changes in starting eleven and team formation he is surprising everyone now including the team itself.

 

[pee dubya]

I can see why he's done this, whether it'll work or not is another question. It's a team with 5 players who are quite possibly leaving in the Summer.

 

[Pleatfooted]

Free hit this game for us.
Big game is against Hull on Saturday.

Free hit???

 

[SWP's back]

No I mean those that are wondering why and where players will play and being generalised as "bed wetters" or having no balls by people who offer fuck all to the thread topic..

No one wondering where people may play or the formation are being labelled as such.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Nice to see Delph being given a kickabout.
Unfathomable, but will take comfort in the faith and optimism of those that know better.

Delph not played for ages = bad thing being selected
Kompany not played for ages = good thing being selected

Double standards there mate
