City Vs Chelsea (FA Cup) Pre Match thread

[Len Rum]

I am a bit mixed about the Sunderland game being off to be honest. OK, so our players get to rest a bit, but we really could have done with some game time for Garcia and Rodwell and also the huge mental boost of getting a good win under our belt.

We were a bit shell shocked after the defeat last Monday and we had lost all our swagger in the Norwich game. We looked nervy and slow and ponderous. No doubt we will be nervy against Chelsea again now, and it's a hell of a test bringing Garcia and/or Rodders straight back in against Hazard et al.

From a footballing point of view it was better for us that the game was called off. The game would have been a lottery which would have favoured Sunderland massively. When the fixture is played hopefully we will have our injured players back and obviously the conditions will be a lot better.. It has also given us a much needed break before the Chelsea/Barcelona games. It was sh*t though on the fans who had travelled a long way for the game, and probably should have been called off much earlier

Garcia was unavailable for Sunderland.

Might be on the bench for Chelsea but more likely Barcelona.

We will start a similar line up against Chelsea as we did against Norwich.

I would partner Lescott with Kompany but MDM will probably get the nod so it could be the same starting eleven with Pants replacing Joe the only change.

Can't believe people not wanting this game won!! What if he gets injured what if he gets hurt!! What will happened will happened, we could rest kompany, ya ya, silver & they could then get injured in the first minute of game!! Get best possibly 11 out there and get the game won!! Come on Blues 3 fa cup finals in 4 years we used to only dreams of.things like this!!

Might be interesting seeing your reaction if VK is out on Monday for 4 - 6 weeks ;)

This looks like a sell out according to seat planner,well done City.

As long as Pelle dropkicks Moanrinho as the teams walk out im happy

Any sign of Aguero, Nasri or Fernandinho for this tie?

I believe we will be seeing Aguero and Fernandhnio. Nasri is definitely a possibility aswel.

You've got that the wrong way around.

Nasri is a possible inclusion. Aguero and Fernandinho will miss out.

I will be massively surprised if what you say is correct. I believe the Aguero injury was never really that bad. It was more of a precaution move from the club.

pretty sure from what Pelle said and the training pictures, Nasri will make the bench for Chelsea. Fernandinho might make it for Barca but both him and Aguero are long shots for that game. Nasri is almost sure to be playing a part in that one.

I can safely say we won't see Kun and Ferny on Saturday on the pitch that is nor are we likely to see either on Tuesday.

Nasri may play some part on Tuesday but that's probably about it.

We will have to beat Chelsea without the three of them but hopefully Negredo , Silva and Dzeko will be a bit better condition wise than they were last time we played them.

Anyone know when the replay would be if we draw? Im guessing the 6th Round Date (Villa H) ??
