Weather will be shit again. Not an excuse but won't help.

With our woke council what's the chances of game getting postponed ?

 

[waspish]

Wonder if Pep will hold Marmoush back on the bench to then come on for 30min to go to give us a boost if it's all going tits up?

If it's all going tits up there's no chance pep makes subs that early ;)

 

[Franny 1234]

Realistically, is the match under any threat from the storm?

It's forecast City will go two infront then get blown away AGAIN. CTID

Hahah on seconds thoughts your right pep be sat there sipping his water [emoji38]

 

[Gray]

Our best approach to this match is just to try and outscore them.

The woke weather is a worry but it's a lot calmer tomorrow by the looks of it.

This Chelsea side have legs pace and technicians will be a very difficult game for us.

Don’t get me wrong when they are on song they are a more than decent team, but as we have seen more recently they are definitely beatable eg Ipswich and Fulham. Their defence and especially their keeper are nothing special, I expect a difficult game but I remain optimistic.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Theyve got midfielders who can run and get up/down the pitch - weve still got Dads Army in the engine room who look absolutely knackered after 60 mins of play. Sadly until we address the midfield area games against opponents of this quality will be extremely problematic. As someone elsewhere pointed out, Joe Biden would fit into our central midfield these days.

If we score 5 we have a chance - but thats a slim hope.

This the same chelsea team beaten 2-0 at Ipswich? The Ipswich team we thumped 6-0? They are a bang average team let's get it right.

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

CITY MATTERS DROP IN SESSION

Two of our representatives, Dan Bowdler and myself, will be in the City Store before tomorrow’s game to answer any questions. The drop-in session will take place between 14:30-16:30.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Fuck it, throw in big khush and moush and see what happens.

 

[David Silva #21]

I am not optimistic about this game.
Nunes is not good enough at RB. Kovacic and Gundogan can't play as a CDM.
Dias got injured last game and Akanji can not fill this hole in our team.
I hope Johnny Boy is fit and he will play as right back or center back instead of Dias.

Unfortunately 2-1 Chelsea

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Ederson
Reis Akanji Khusanov Gvardiol
Stones Kovacic
Foden KDB Mamoush
Haaland

 

[Kippax77]

Ederson
Reis Akanji Khusanov Gvardiol
Stones Kovacic
Foden KDB Mamoush
Haaland

I'd leave Savinho in and drop KDB out of this line up

 

[balotellishaircut]

Let’s not forget Ipswich beat this lot 2 nil, so we at least have a slim chance of getting the win.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Pep confirms Dias and Doku are out of tomorrow’s game.

 

[skillman]

Fuck me. What’s he made of?!
