Chelsea away - Pre match discussion

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Well, for all the people who were bitching and crying for pre-Kun 4-5-1 formation - you get your wish and today you will get a chance to see how unproductive and BORING that formation is.

I am predicting switch back to 4-5-2 at the half.

One-striker formations are so f-ing dull that I'm also predicting almost ZERO good chances in front of their goal.

Especially since Kun IS NOT made out for lone striker in 4-5-1. He is simply not.

This is ludacris IMO, hope I'm wrong. If I am wrong - feel free to get at me at the half.

Jesus christ. At least give it a chance..

I did...at the time Tevez was here, and was a lone striker.

Trivia of the day: when did the "boring, boring City" chants come around?? When we played 4-5-1.

they were ironic you prat.

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?

Piss off. Jellied eels 1 Fish and chips 3

Well, I'm pleased MP has gone for the 5 man midfield, (and I thought he was tactically inflexible!)

Let's hope we get at least a draw, you never know we could even sneek a win!

Just because your man is not playing you go off on a rant

Irrelevent. I am pumped for the game, but I hate what I think we'll be watching...

And someone brining up Borussia and Real as "lone striker" teams? GTFO. Formation-wise, yes. Personnel-wise - hell fucking no.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Haha. You can tell Jose is pissed off we have not gone 4222. Advantage Pellegrini?

Fucking come on city

Think the ref may have something to say if we go 4-5-2 at half time!!
But seriously,you cannot really believe you can go 2 up front regardless; just looked what happened v Bayern when we got swamped in midfield.
Chelski play with 5 in the middle which would create a similar problem at the Bridge.

4-5-2 with a fly keeper.....brilliant, why didn`t Pellers think of that.

I love the 'fly keeper' rule, must better than 'nearest to net' rule which can get confusing...... Just my thought and opinion!

 

[pudge]

Thinking the chant 'boring, boring City' was serious lol

Fucking hell.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

The gob shite one didn't sound too confident on fact he could be a poster on here.

Come on City let's do this.

 

[waspish]

Quick question for you; despite your reservations about the line-up/formation, will you actually try to get behind the team today, rather than keep banging on about the tactics?
