I've been quite nervous about this game, but right now, seeing those teamsheets I think we'll do them. 0-2. that front 5 of ours will be too much for them. our back 5 will cope with them too

Posters with defeatist mentalities like that suck the joy out of the game. What is the fucking point of watching football if every game is a foregone conclusion. We'll play, we'll fight, we'll accept whatever has happened in the 90 minutes and carry on.
Come on City.

Pep going all out attack , would have preferred another midfielder instead of Sterling , but Pep will live or die by his decisions , you have got to admire his football philosophy he fears no one.

Yep, I expected Gundo to start. He's definitely going for it. Hope it pays off.
 
Chelsea's team is so fucking solid!! Hopefully we have enough guile to score. Sterling, Jesus and Sané need to play the best games of the their young careers. Come on City!!
 
So they're parking the bus and hoping Hazard or Morata can do us on the counter. I'd have gone with Danilo over Delph though. Don't like the idea of Hazard running at Delph.
 
Pretty much what I expected and happy with that. Assume Zinchenko makes the bench as a utility player and provides cover for Delph.
Just a bit disappointed with being an attacker down that Brahim didn't get a chance but in Pep we trust !

I predicted my prediction would be one out, and it it was (I had Danilo not Delph).

Pep staying true to his principles going there for the win rather than trying not to lose.

Was also thinking about putting Danilo in there but Delph really deserved the start and played well last time he faced Chelsea.

I am much more confident after seeing the teams.

The only thing I am not looking forward to is the theatrics from Chelsea, specifically Hazard throwing himself to the floor with the slightest touch.
 
Snidey Fabregas will be on the wind up from first to last whistle, and Hazard will be falling over the moment anyone goes near him. We just need to stay focussed. They will probably single out Merlin, and go in hard to try and neutralize him, and pick on Walker to wind him up and try and get a reaction in order to get him carded or sent off. We'll just have to rise above it and hope the referee isn't a complete shithouse.

No denying Delph deserved to keep his place. It was a toss up between the two for me but I thought Danilo's greater experience at full back and height advantage might edge it; clearly not.

What we don't need today is the kind of bad luck we had in both games vs Chelsea last season.
 
Big statement time, we can't expect others to go there and do us a favour, time to step up and be the big club we are 4:0 to City will do
