Big game for Edin this! I hope kolarov gets some joy with crosses.

We need another Dzeko vs Spurs away performance

Crazy not playing tevez with his record v Chelsea!!!!!

maybe the plan is to retain possesion, run them ragged and then bring on Tevez and his energy for the last 30 minutes.

Edin over Tevez ? Hmmmm.....interesting choice from Roberto.

Great move by Roberto. Tevez and Aguero are same type of players.

No Clichy at all.

I wasn't criticising Mancini as such, just worried about Kolarov vs. Hazard.

Indeed.
He will have only a few chances there, need him to be as clinical as it gets.
Same thing for Aguero who seems to be far less lethal than last season.

Let's hope Kolarov, Milner, and Dzeko have very, very good games.

Kolarov up against Mata, Oscar and Hazard.

are you EVER not negative?

Cautious is the word.

well there is a phrase "cautiously optimistic" but that is not you is it? Very much cautiously negative Bob, or so you always seem to me

Hopefully if Kolarov does get in good positions to cross, he finally takes a touch.

Had it with his first time, usually doesn't clear the first man, crosses.

That and he has to defend well of course.

Glad to see Balo back and available for us, plenty of options on that bench.
