Chelsea (N) - Sat 16th May, 15:00 | FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

Nico G. ? Off in the summer? Good team which should hammer Chesea

 

[MCFC1993]

Surprised no Gvardiol in the squad, thought he might be put in midfield if Rodri can't do the 90.

Must be a medical decision, not doing too much too soon.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Let's hear it for Chelsea! FFS.

We're the better team, end of.

Come on city

 

[phargrave]

Save the big win for Bournemouth - any win will do today!

Leagues gone mate - need to focus on today

 

[Semper aggressus]

COME ON CITY!!!!!

 

[bg1968]

Chelsea parking the bus and hoping for a breakaway , need an early goal then Chelsea have to change their tactics and come forward and we will pick them off.
BBC have a Rag a Dipper and a Goon fan as pundits , and f*cking Gerodie c*nt on commentary , where's that mute button ?

 

[deano ou812]

Looking likely.

Rodri staying and Anderson coming in, Nico G was never going to survive that.

Well if that is the case hopefully we get a decent fee for him which I think we will..

 

[Vienna_70]

Why do we City supporters always have to put up with that fat, thick, granny-shagging Scouse bastard?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Huge boost Rodri plays. Hopefully he's fully ready and we haven't just thrown in an unfit player. Cherki on the bench makes sense but it simply had to be foden coming for him not marmoush. Looks like we might go 4-4-2 which is a bit of a worry for our midfield as they've got 4 in there, however it should give a lot of space for our wingers either pinning their wingback back or getting in behind them.

Bench is strong, needless to have 3 centre halves though, feels like he's included them because of seniority when it would be more practical for options to have nico or ait-nouri on there instead.

Just make sure we are lifting that trophy again in a few hours time.

Sadly he's got Serie A written all over him with how slow he plays the game, which means virtually money at all

 

[Macca77macca]

Stones and Ake after getting us to the final should be played.

Not confident with that line up.

 

[M Gaudino]

Surprised no Gvardiol in the squad, thought he might be put in midfield if Rodri can't do the 90.

3 centre backs on the bench already

 

[Damien10]

Foden has his best game for a long time and he’s rewarded with a spot on the bench.

Ahh yes the old loan with no obligation to buy classic Italian deal

 

[MCFC1993]

3 centre backs on the bench already

Gvardiol is the most versatile though.

 

[Jimmieblue]

Wish they would play Gladiators theme tune for us, cos we are.

 

[pudge]

Foden has his best game for a long time and he’s rewarded with a spot on the bench.

To be fair, he's been rewarding with a few starts after playing like shite this season

 

[samuelyeboah]

is that a back 6 from chelsea?

 

[bg1968]

Leagues gone mate - need to focus on today

Hope not i am gonna put my winnings on the cup final for the six fingers to beat the Goons on Monday at 22/1 , COME ON CITY !!!!!

 

[ws01]

Jeez don't know about no Cherki. Could've at least gone Foden. Lacking some creativity here.
