Can't see where the goals are coming from.

Everything resting on Foden or Gundogan to produce as the other front players won't.

That's the spirit blue

Feeling a little more optimistic about the game now.

 

[Cityinmud]

There is no alternative to zinchenko today and for the rest of the season in reality. Anyone who doesn’t think that we should upgrade on that position by the summer given that position has been weak for the whole of peps time needs their head testing

Got hounded for saying the same.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Come on boys. 3 points today please.

Sad to not have sergio start , i know pep says it has to be gradual this time , i want to see him in case he doesnt extend

Hopefully he'll get plenty of minutes in the two cup games coming up.

 

[jimharri]

takes our mind off the worrying about game :)

While spoiling it for others. If you don't agree with someone, take the argument to pms. Alternatively, put the other person on "ignore". It's not rocket science. And it's not just directed at you, by the way.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Taking our chances today could be crucial, and no losing the ball cheaply either cos chelskis attack is full of pace and talent even if they havnt been firing recently.

Our haters in the media and advocates of the pl "product" would love this to be the game where chelsea bounce back to form, keeping a london club in the top four. Especially as they are less of a threat to their dream title race duo of shites.

Hopefully Phil can step up and show what a real talent he is when it matters, and stick two fingers up to the doubters.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

That's the spirit blue

Think that is pretty positive compared to most of the comments on pre-match threads ;)

 

[Ban-jani]

Impossible to predict this game, just go with the flow folks.

Just came on to say the exact same.

Fuck knows what’s going to happen, which City or which Chelsea is going to show up.

 

[Jamiblue]

Peps words were 'we aren't allowed to name the players with Covid, you will see at the next game'

Now, do we just guess/assume they are covid victims?

Ah right, so take Dybala for instance, he tested positive 4 times in the space of 6 weeks. So those additional 3 tests were likely false positives?

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I remember when newbies knew their place, when Bill was de Niro, PLLK heralded suits as the greatest Tv show since ‘in sickness and in health’, stoney justifying gay giraffe porn and when TCIB had flowing ginger locks..

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

He is in because of injuries to Ake and laporte mate. Would love to be positive but zinchenko is probably on his way out in summer. Here's hoping he proves me wrong

Ignore the match thread if you don't like a opinion

Good advice , ignore the matchday thread

 

[Mr HJ]

Let's send lots of positivity - I have a good feeling about the performances of Bernardo and Phil today leaving extra space for the midfield maestro to grab a couple of assists. A 3-2 win would do nicely.

Good advice , ignore the matchday thread

I will thanks

Realistically Zinchenko is behind Ake, Mendy and Cancelo.
Circumstances mean he is playing there today.
Hopefully we will buy a recognised left back in the summer

 

[york away to this!]

Are all the miserable feckers in here on dry january or something? Crack open a decent bottle of wine, all will become warm and cuddly...

 

[bluealf]

Not sure about that, I was meaning the ones that failed the test for the Everton game but we didn't name.

 

[axlgod]

Well, I haven’t bitten my nails for awhile.
I’ve got a feeling I might be eating my fingers,hands & arms by full time!

Come On City, don’t stress me & make me eat myself.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

I was feeling pretty pessimistic about this, but that's actually a great line up.

Come on blues, smash them!

There's always more posts moaning about people moaning which is amusing
