Chelsea away - Pre match discussion

[EaglesFan]

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.

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?

Is that a serious question?

Better question would be - do I have money on City to get at least a draw?? :-) Although this formation i did not expect at betting time, but I still believe.

Just heard on the radio Mourinho has never lost a league game at home.
Maybe we should hope for a draw.

 

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

We'll steamroller them today. Our midfield will batter them and Silva and Aguero will be the sharps.

Mental note to self.

Do not watch build up EVER again. From Sky coming on with Quinn having digs to fucking Beckenbauer .....

Yes; it is a serious question. Any chance of an answer?

Had to laugh at the shreeves then. Asked franz what he thought of Munich playing us of the park, said it like he was enjoy saying it aswell. The blokes an idiot.

Revolting
Those arses at Sky have just dug The Kaiser out to take the piss out of us
Twats!!!

I don't think he said anything bad. He said Bayern v us was one of the best periods they've had in 20 years. That's a huge amount of respect to us.

I was referring to Sky not the Kaiser (who hates us anyway!)
They clearly wanting to remind all of us of that uncomfortable experience a few weeks back
Biased or what?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Bit gutted that Jovetic can't even make the bench.

Are best performance of the season last year was when Tevez played as a lone striker against United away. You really need to piss off to that Dzeko forum.

Oh, really??? Balotelli didn't play in that game??

Last year we almost NEVER played in one striker...you can position them differently and say Balotelli is your "winger" but that's crap...we played with true lone striker only before Kun/Dzeko/Negredo arrived...again - if I'm wrong and this produces anything other than us INVITING pressure - feel free to take your shots.

Im talking about when we beat them 2-1

Almost the exact same formation as we're playing today.

I dont recall that as our best performance last year - but honestly, I hope you're right...I would just hate inviting pressure (which is inevitable when their back 4 is not kept too busy) with our DEFENSE this year...but I hope you're right.
