City vs. Chelsea Pre-Match Discussion Thread

[lionheart]

------------------Hart------------------

Zabaleta-----Richards----Lescott----Clichy

-----------Yaya-----------Milner----------

-----------------Silva--------------------

Johnson-----------------------Balotelli

-------------Aguero-------------------

Subs: Pantilimon, Kolarov, K. Toure, Barry, Pizarro, Tevez, Dzeko

I think we will win, but they might give us a scare.
2-1 I predict.

Fine except that Lescott won't be fit to play. Kolo will take his place. Also I would start with Dzeko as he gave Luiz a torrid time in a recent international. If Mario loses his cool early doors, he may just ruin things. Also, Barry for Milner on current form. Finally, De Jong is a must starter if VK/JL are not there. Otherwise, your team selection is fine!
Hart
Zabaleta (if fit)-Toure-Richards-Clichy
Yaya-De Jong-Barry
Silva-Dzeko-Aguero

We should start with Balo and Aguerro and keep the pressure on Cech by subs with Dzeko and Tevez in 2 half. I do not trust Clichy - I rather play Kolarov. If I'm boss my starting 11 would look like this:

Hart
Zabaleta-Richards-Toure-Kolarov
De Jong-Barry
Yaya - Aguerro - Silva
Dzeko
If result still is not positive for us then:

Yaya - De Jong - Silva
Balo - Dzeko

I still regret why Mancini never read Bluemoon predicts. If he read our last discussion against Sporting we would beat their a**es till Lisbon.

I'd go for the jugular and pick Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli, put De Jong as holding and let Y Toure fly.

Maybe with Dzeko and Balotelli playing it might be best to play Kols although jury is still out on his tracking back which he'll need to do quite a lot of tonight, I've got the feeling.

Very very nervous, a classy win and the pressure is back on the rags.

Blue Moon!!!

if Edin plays we need to play the other two Balkan boys as well, they operate better as a triad

 

[onceabluealways]

Assuming Kompany and lescott out and Zab f / Barry fit my team would be

Hart
Zab Micah Toure Clichy
Yaya Barry
Silva
Milner Balo
Aguero
