Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

Got a feeling this will prove our trickiest PL game to date. Chelsea to come out fighting after recent disappointments.

Sergio was in Hale tonight, just left the bar he was in and he was on the shots so he’s definitely not in the squad tomorrow! If you got him in your fantasy team defo take him out...

Kaned him yesterday ;)

With SMS all outscoring Jesus it’s an interesting call for Pep as it may indicate his preferred two wide men if he starts Jesus. On goal threat currently you would leave Jesus out but I think only Sterling can play there out of the three. The three wide men all look lethal at the minute - I can’t think of another time when we have looked so good in those positions. Please rest fern midweek. Very confident
City 2-1 Chels

I expect to lose this game. Chelsea are very good. Still better than Liverpool imo. Just don’t have the luck.

The 3 wide men look lethal because, amongst other things, of the movement of our centre forward whether Jesus or Aguero .

How can people give Jesus a hard time. The last few games he has worked his socks off. OK he hasn’t scored but he pulls the defence all over the place creating gaps. Some people are never happy unless he scores. It will come with him.

Great post!

Sterling down the middle please Pep

Why? Makes us worse and takes our best player out of his best position. Also changes our shape, to one we have a much worse success rate with.

Whilst I don’t disagree, Chelsea and their players have repeatedly shown they also have the capacity to just fold and give up.

Early under a new manager, it’s more likely they’ll come out fighting, but with them you just never know.

Hazard might turn up for once thats the only chance chelsea have of gettinf anything from the game.
