You say that as if we've been bad like last year under AVB. Before that scandalous United game we were performing a LOT better than both sides of Manchester and getting the results to boot. City has only just recently found any semblance of the form you had early last season.JoeMercer'sWay said:to be fair they were meant to be wallowing around in pity under AVB and still ended up beating us.
They'll always raise their game for the big teams as their ego's won't want to be hurt.
It would have been a tough game with or without Di Matteo, we just have to play to the best of our ability and win the game.

Please please please; let Sideshow Bob be playing tomorrow!MCFC-alan88 said:adrianr said:gaving673 said:Wouldn't that be better for you guys?
What, getting to face a Chelsea team with 90 minutes to impress the new guy rather than wallowing around in pity under Di Matteo? How is that better for us?
They may want to impress, but it's not going to make Luiz a better defender, Torres a better striker or Mikel a better midfielder.

He usually does well against us!

He's always been very loyal to and passionate about his club (Liverpool) and the things he has said in interviews about opponents, or their fans, is brilliant, and as a Liverpool fan I would always have huge amounts of respect for the Spaniard.
He's a really good manager and I think he will do very well with Chelsea, their fantastic squad filled with Spanish speaking players.
It's a shame though for his sake, that no matter what he do he'll probably get the sack at the end of the season. But I do hope Benitez is back in the PL to stay.
In fact, if Mancini for some reason was sacked at the end of the season (not saying I want that to happen), Benitiez would be one of three or four managers I think would actually make us even better.
I saw that on MOTD and had exactly the same reaction.Blue2112 said:Chelsea fans for the second game running on the 16th minute standing up and singing for Di Matteo. Can understand their disapointment in his sacking but this seems a bit ott. Fair enough for the first game against us but leave it there.
Is it only me but ffs lads let it go and get behind your team.
