Chelsea away - Pre match discussion

[pudge]

I really don't see the point in both Negredo and Dzeko on the bench, seems like a wasted spot

True, Garcia should be taking one of the spots

 

[Tricky_Trev]

No Mata on the bench?

Yes, Mata's on the bench

 

[hallstreetblue]

i like that team this 4-3-3 i think will be used more like a 4-1-2-3 with garcia in face of the defence ferna and yaya in front of him silva on left nasri on right and aguero center good team that

yup

Mate, it's a 4-2-3-1

 

[grim up north]

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry(c), Cahill, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Torres.
Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Mikel, Willian, Eto'o.

MCFC: Hart, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Aguero.
Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Kolarov, Milner, Navas, Dzeko, Negredo.

No jovetic :(

That's shit. Why put dzeko on the bench, who is a similar but inferior player to negredo and leave jovetic in the stands who's different to any other player we've got.

Is Jovetic fit

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Anyone got the subs? Really excited and nervous for this game.

I am feeling a tad apprehensive and now regretting having a big Sunday roast

Having my roast at half time so may be running 5 or 10 minutes behind in the second half on the sky+ . Can you all please not mention the score on here?

 

[Burtonblue]

Mata IS on the bench

Hope he stays there. By far their most dangerous player imo.

 

[Len Rum]

Worried about DeMic having his first prem game against the Chavs. How match fit is he?, how good is he? We're about to find out.

Mourinho is a real s**t

Jose Mourinho lit the fuse for Sunday’s Premier League showdown between Chelsea and Manchester City by casting fresh doubt on Manuel Pellegrini’s managerial credentials.
Mourinho stood squarely by his 2011 swipe at Pellegrini’s decision to take charge of Malaga following the City manager’s sacking by Real Madrid and even suggested the Chilean’s failure at the Bernabéu had left him little option but to accept a second-rate job.
Despite insisting he meant “no offence” to either Pellegrini or Malaga

The rest is <a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10405986/Chelsea-v-Manchester-City-Jose-Mourinho-unable-to-hide-his-disdain-for-Manuel-Pellegrini.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... grini.html</a>

Comments like that show a real lack of class and I was always a mourinho fan ..but this put a bad taste in my mouth..I'm glad my manager oozes class and won't involve himself in these kind of pity exchanges ..I hope Pelles boys destroy chelsea in mourinhos house and leaves Jose with nothing more than a handshake and a smile as he walks in the winners locker room CMON CITY

4123 is the same thing with the midfield triangle inverted.

Garcia deeper than Fern and Yaya is how I see it.

Yeah sorry, edited my original teamsheet to put Mata back on the bench.
