Chelsea (H) - Sun 21st May, 16:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Vester]

Expect us to pretty much play our strongest XI (the one who started against Real Madrid), with maybe 1-3 exceptions. Momentum is key in football and I don't want to see us taking the foot of the gaspedal these last few games before the 2 finals just because the league is won. I want us to play great and win every single game thats left this season, going into the 2 finals without question marks (even if small) about our form from these 3 remaining dead rubbers in the league.

City 4 - 0 Chelsea, Haaland hat trick!

He's a ****.

That’s a bit harsh. We’re not scousers.

Is the presentation before the game (as some have said) or after as usual.

No way they’ll do it before, people will still be in the bars etc and they won’t want to get confetti etc all over the pitch before kickoff.

Cheers that’s what I thought but it’s been mentioned a few times here that it was before

I know. Apologies. He's not a ****, just a greedy bastard prepared to run his contract down so he could leave for more money than we were prepared to pay. Fortunately for us Boehly couldn't wait and paid us handsomely. Sterling is considerably richer right now but no trophies for him this season. Ah well, nevermind.

I mean, I’ve no insider knowledge or anything, I’m just making logical assumptions!

No typical city today,no stress (i can't believe it),i just want an assist from KdB.... And an appearance for Carlson under the goalposts....

Nah I’m with you on that - he’s not going to get the Zabba / Dzeko treatment but he’s not in the Milner / Cancelo bin either for me haha

The team sheet should be an easy one to write out.

11 PL Champions.

OK.

But we risk injuring our best players. We have a good squad full of players who haven’t played much lately.

After todays match Pep needs to play the squad players whilst resting the 1st team players.
