City vs. Chelsea Pre-Match Discussion Thread

You'd really start Tevez?

Yes,he's an amazing talent and his tenacity is what we have been missing of late.I honestly think he's our best chance of winning this league.

I agree........needs must and all that

Terry also hates playing against Tevez, everytime they meet he rips him a new arsehole.

Tevez and Aguero up top for me.........Chelsea's achilles heel is pace and this is where we'll have the most joy.

Wonder what reception Tevez will get when he comes of the bench? Think I'll give him a clap ;-)

IF he comes off the bench ;-)

This will be our toughest game of the season. We are at home, yes, but Chelsea are on a high. We will be facing a full strength side. Torres (who just scored two this weekend), Mata, Drogba, Lampard, Sturridge. It will be tough my fellow citizens. But I do believe City will prevail. We have to win every game from now on. We have to come out and dominate, we have to make a statement. Really nervous about this game.<br /><br />-- Sun Mar 18, 2012 2:15 pm --<br /><br />

This team would steamroller Chelsea.

Replace Barry with DJ,who is in better form,and,dependant on fitness,Dzeko with Tevez,and it's looking good.

I totaly agree. Thats a team right there. I dont get why Barry has gotten more starts than de Jong this season. de Jong is much much better.

Trust us to be playing Chelsea when they are now at their current season best; not forgetting Torres ending his 'neverending' goal-drought!

If Savic plays; Drogba will run him riot and not forgetting our old friend Sturridge, I really hope Vinny is back for Wednesday because of the confidence it brings the team from the back. I would not start Tevez but would most certainly play him second half - our bench could look scary tomorrow.

If Mancini watches the game against Sporting again, and his decision for starters is based partly on that, there just is no way Pizarro wouldn't start.

I have gone back to watch the game and I am certain he will start.

(Barry if Healthy, De Jong if not. Don't think De Jong is good enough though )

Are you on the wind up? De Jong "not good enough". He has been one of our best players of late and has put in several MoM performances against Chelsea over the years.

That was one of the best performances from a City player I had seen in a long time.
