That is your opinion and I have mine. At Palace away when he lasted the full game he was very good and was a real leader on the field as well. A fully fit Kompany adds so much to the team in terms of defensive organisation and leadership. If he isn't fully fit get him out of the squad, if he is get him into the team.

I think we are the better team too. I'm just not that confident we'll deliver tomorrow.
I think at our best, we are better than Chelsea at their best.
Our problem is that they have been at their best - or near to it - much more consistently than we have. That said, I think we will be bang up for it tomorrow after the disappointment of dropped points on Sunday and I am super confident we are going to win.

The counter argument would be yes if they are looking for a decent side to come and get themDo you really think the players are gonna go out and give 110% when half of them know they won't even be here next season?
Strangely, I don't think we are going to lose. A draw or a win is the most likely outcome.If we lose tomorrow it will be the first time any manager has done the double over Pep.
I think it's a certain loss. Chelsea will be right at it from the off after they lost to Palace and we are very fragile mentally.
As much as I don't like betting on a City defeat I'm very tempted by the 7-5 on offer.

Unless he has deliberately kicked it in our own nets its disingenuous to blame an individual in a team gameWe can't play Clichy. I worked out that he's been directly responsible for 1 goal every 2 starts for us on average this season.

I posted this at lunch time. Perhaps he isn't being played whilst fit because he is worth more come May. If he plays and gets crocked again, his resale value plummets IMOWhy? We don't play him and we are all over the place anyway. We play him and he gets injured after however many minutes we just fetch a sub on. He is no use on the bench if he is fit.
It's the original point which I made, we lack a leader on the field to lift us in 'said' games... buying into pep isn't the problem, it's the ability of an aging squad, in fact team moral is probably better than it's ever been!
I'm not sure....in both Monaco and Arsenal theu didn't do what Pep wanted them to do.
So they must have reservations or lack the confidence to do that, and from my point of view that means they can't be 100% bought in, because if you're genuinely 100% behind someone you do what they say even if you're worried or nervous about it backfiring.
I think some of the players who know they are leaving aren't fully committed.

Sorry but that's bullshit. In a team game when one person lets everyone down, it's that individuals fault and being the only player to forget to maintain the offside line makes him 100% culpable.

That's a bit like not driving a car with 199,999 miles on the clock because you think it will be worth less with 200,000.
He's worthless already. One more injury won't change that. I'm pretty sure he'll be practically given away to whichever club he can agree to take him.

Then we will have to disagree. 11 on the pitch playing for a common aim. As I said, if it were deliberate, I would agree with you, but it wasn't.
york away to this!

We should have Jesus just warming up off the bench all game.

he's potentially worth more being seen as fit and on the bench than he is on the treatment table - it was simply a counter argument I put forwardThat's a bit like not driving a car with 199,999 miles on the clock because you think it will be worth less with 200,000.

U on about vinnie? No chance we would get a fee for him. If he goes he will have his contract terminated by mutual consent. It's that or see out the contract.
Who would pay anything for him? Hardly played in two years.
He would then sign for someone on a pay as you play deal.
He will be retired within two years.

According to many on here, he would still walk into most starting 11s. If so, they generally are not freebies. I have no idea what will happen, but I simply put a suggestion up as to why he might not be playing whilst termed "fit".

As much as I value him he has no resale value due to his injury record in the last two years. Not playing him is not going to make any potential buyer believe he is fit it will just make them think there is something wrong with him, as in our questions here. Why would a fit Kompany not be playing when our defence is crying out for what he fetches to the team? Not playing him fools no one.
On the actual game I think their starting eleven is better than ours and they will win.

I'd like us to create some wobbles for Chelsea's title hopes. Although no fan of Spurs, if they won the
league, Arsenal Fan TV would be of epic proportions.

There is clearly a reason we (as fans) are not aware of as to why he isn't playing if fit, hence why the speculation and theories. How else would we entertain ourselves between matches :)As much as I value him he has no resale value due to his injury record in the last two years.

Would love us to win tomorrow, we have the ability/talent within the team but based on events this season it may go pear shaped.
Clichy and Otamendi are not good enough based on recent performances imo. Expecting the usual stonewall penalty not to be given by the man in black.
Would play Zabba and Vinnie tomorrow. We need leaders and fighters on the field and both have these qualities in abundance.
We owe the chavs after the game at our place.
