City Vs Chelsea Pre Match Discussion Thread

Dour goalless draw with both managers secretly satisfied.

with both owners definitely not satisfied with a goalless draw.

but im seeing us take this, we always up our game for the big games, and they leave so many gaps at times, 2-0 for us

 

[brian the blue]

Not too sure about this one. Defeat could see Chelsea only 1 point behind us.

Team i'd go for:

Hart

Zabaleta
Kompany (if fit)
Nastasic
Clichy

Milner
Yaya
Barry
Silva

Aguero
Dzeko

 

[blue wang]

With the insanity that is the Chelsea midfield I say we go three at the back if Kompany is fit.

Hart
Kolo Kompany Nasty
Zab Milner Garcia(Rodwell) Kolarov
Silva
Dzeko Aguero


Clearly I should never become a manager...

you got a good case,

they have not got speed on th wings so , the weakness of the 3-5-2 cant be fully exploited.

plus if you play clichy and milner at the wing backs they got good engines and
can really cover us defensively on the flanks.

the threats are mata , hazard and oscar.

play five across the middle and we can make life very incomfortable for them.
cutting off the supply , and the threat of Ba/torrez will be negated.

would like to see



zaba---komps---nasty
milner---silva----yaya----barry--clichy
tevez
aguero

terry, luis cole, and ibramiv arent very mobile, the movement of yaya,tevez,aguero, and silva will be their undoing

 

[nice neil]

Hart

Zaba
Kompany
Nasty
Clichy

Milner
Rodwell

Yaya

Silva
Aguero
Sinclair

No chance mate !

 

[sergiokun]

We need to win this game but will be very hard just need to keep Sergio and Tevez scoring goals

This looks like it could be the address ...


5. Re: Watching English football in Milan

address for the bar is ...

Via Valpetrosa, 5, Milan, 20123 Italy


Phone: +39 2 86 4464

Valpetrosa is a wee lane which runs off off via Torino

Nice one mate thanks for that...

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

with chelsea using hazard and mata then milner will deffo play. And probably if fit barry the midfield will be milner, yaya, barry ,silva if barrys not fit garcia will play.if kompanys not fit i could see lescott partner nastasic as kolos poor in the air if ba plays this could suite.

Can't see this being anything other than a tight, cagey affair.
