Best draw we could've had, incredibly difficult nonetheless (given our recent form). Pep needs to come up with a plan quickly. And it needs to be more than "We'll buy some defenders in January." >> a clear choice of formation >> a clear strongest starting XI >> the best player for each...

Love your spirit, mate, but not buying it.

I rate Kanté extremely high and I think he's proving it week after week. Immediately after Chelsea announced his signed I said this could be a title winning signing for them. Luckily I also rate Fernandinho extremely high so I put them at the same level, which is a VERY HIGH one! Luis/Luiz or...

fair enough, just not a team to underestimate was my main point

haha in all fairness I wasn't out to catch you, as a foreigner I wasn't familiar with the phrase and googled it with this result

I think Chelsea are already on 7 now, aren't they? Think you're underestimating the individual class in Chelsea's team a bit mate. Yes City is superior, but only just, imho if we compare 1 v 1 in a 343 system: Bravo < Courtois (0-1) Kolarov > Cahill (1-1) Otamendi < Luiz (1-2) (*) Stones >...

I wouldn't count on it, still have nightmares from playing his Italy side w Belgium at the Euros. Then again we had Wilmots as our manager, who is a tactical nonce. Anyway won't be easy, Conte's already got his team figured out while Pep obviously is still searching. If City win it 'll have...

Very tough to call this one! I slightly favor Chelsea because of the structure they have in place. City is always a question mark how we are going to line up, who will play ... De Bruyne, Silva & Stones won't have played for 10 days when they play Chelsea next weekend because of being rested...

Whiskey is a great idea actually! Get him to relax a little, be more intuitive again ... I'm all for it!

Always a dive that! :D

Haha, stupid thing is I had just read it before posting ... So Sagna for Zaba then ...

He'll probably go for: Bravo Stones Otamendi Kolarov Zabaleta Fernandinho Gündogan De Bruyne Silva Sterling Agüero ... am I there yet?

And with his history, he'll probably go off v Celtic after 20 mins due to "lingering headaches" ...

I know, but I'm not basing on points, just the way the top teams have settled after the first part of the season, and in that respect, I think Chelsea looks like the most stable, consistent & confident team right now. I really can't see them drop a lot of points v the smaller teams, and we know...

it would be interesting to see if sterling can do for city what moses is currently doing for chelsea, as an offensive wingback. he's defo got the pace & workrate for it, but I wonder if he's strong enough.

Wish people would stop exiling De Bruyne to the wings in their formations!! Man needs to play centrally always. ....................Bravo, ........Otamendi, Kolarov, Stones Zabaleta, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Sterling ............Nolito, Agüero, Silva

Good win but I think the title's gonna be Chelsea's this year. Conte's got his formation and preferred starting XI all figured out and it's working like a dream. They look like they're cruising to the title on autopilot. Curious to see though what a first real test will do to their system. Pep's...

Palace away is never easy, any win would be good. Efficiency is key.

Modern day kits are way too fancy for me, not that I'm an old bastard, but I think teams should be obliged to either do full color, horizontal stripes or vertical stripes. and choose max two colors. and no fading colours and all that sh**. My favorite non City kit will always be the black &...
