Chelsea away - Pre match discussion

[blueste41]

CITY XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Nastasic, Clichy, Javi Garcia, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Aguero

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I think I like the look of that you know, whilst initially baffling. Silva and Nasri to open doors behind Sergio.

 

[BigOscar]

Fuck me sideways. 451 with Garcia in midfield

Very strange. Why not play Jimmy?

Because Milner isn't a holding midfielder and never has been?

 

[johnmc]

Tough for Sergio to have an impact.

 

[Sky Blue]

Don't mind that side. A Roberto type line-up.

 

[LoveCity]

Even though I'd prefer someone instead of Garcia, quite happy with the team and also Pellegrini's willingness to change the formation. Our open style would play right into Chelsea's counter attacking hands.

He isn't very good

I'd have wanted Milner in the 4222, but with the three man midfield he's hoping for Nasri and silva to pick holes.

Unless its a fucking 352 of course

 

[Claytop]

Like many probably, initially don't know what to think of the team but at least we shouldn't get over run in the midfield.

 

[stony]

Fuck me, he's changed tactics. I'm off to look for a blue moon.
It's a bit of a baptism of fire for Demichelis. Not sure I'd have risked him away at Chelsea in his first game.
Any truth in the rumour that his speed is glacial, and milk turns quicker ?
