Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[MCFC1993]

Chelsea gone with their usual negative boring bastard counter attacking team.

Love a bit of positivity before a big game , the midfield will not be an issue but our defence and keeper will be asked a lot of questions , hope we have the answers , but i am not in fear of this Chelsea team at all , we are going there to win it and are quite capable .

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.

Would love to see Zinchenko get some game time. Score permitting obviously.

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.

For fuck sake, why start a 40somerhing year-old Guardiola in such a big game (:


On a side note,

Spot on with your team selection again, dax

Our bench is not great

Based on the 3 missing I think it's still strong.

Our bench is not great

Ours is missing only a striker. Can't moan besides that.

Love the team, exactly what I and many others predicted.

I think we'll win. Cahill needs to be targeted. Contain counter attacks and we'll be fine.

Walker needs to step up today after his below average performance mid week.

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.
