City vs chelsea pre match thread.

Manuel says - don't worry be happy ! We play attacking football !

 

[Damien10]

Lights out?

That would be good.

100+ page pre-game thread...

You know game is big :-)

A yellow card for Zabba inside the first ten minutes.

That bastard Mourinho will have drilled in into Hazard.

Same goes for Kompany.

As Pellegrini says, keep the ball, everything else will take care of itself.

Ref will be right on the ball tonight. He will know what will be going on there and who will be trying to con him.
The more negativity I read on here, the more confident I am that those posters are going to be pleasantly surprised.
Forget my earlier prediction of 3-1. I'm going 4 nil now and this Chelsea squad people seem to fear, being shown up just like Arsenal and Spurs have been at our place.

think negativity comes from long standing fans, we all remember typical city and guess we waiting for it to make a return, rightly or wrongly some still have that feeling, even i my wildest dreams wouldnt have imagined this city 10yrs ago, strange having the feeling of steam rolling teams, getting close to cockyness feeling, which in past we never had the chance to feel. im soo nervous about tonight, but tbh i still think we will win, but i dont think it be a drubbing, i think it be a hard match which we shall scrape a win. but tbh i hope we win 6-0 to rub that fuckers nose in it and then he can fucking moan how shit he is, espec after all is moaning and groaning about us

I remember it, too. This isn't that same club anymore though. Chelsea will be absolutely bricking it tonight, with good reason. Not and never will take results for granted, but there comes a time when you just have to acknowledge there is nobody to fear anymore, and that we are the most feared team in the league. There's a reason we are 3 points ahead of Chelsea and with a far, far superior goal difference. I mean fuck me, we've only conceded 6 more than they have, yet scored bag fulls more. It's the same reason why come 9:45 tonight we will be 6 points clear of them. We aren't a flash in the pan side with a massive, (sorry, Ducado), collapse about to occur. It just isn't the case these days.

Pellegrini just needs to tell them to keep calm despite the provocation,stick to the game plan and do their jobs and our football should win us the day.Most of all...concentrate!No switching off for ten minutes here and there that is when we conceed.

He has to tell Ya Ya to keep calm as he can lose his rag and they will kick and niggle him.They have some dirty fuckers,not least Luis so i hope Dean is on top of it.

Mourinho is such a cretin that I think I might actually be more anxious to beat Chelsea tonight than I am for us to be the rags, I hate him that much. To quote KK, I would love it if we beat them, love it!

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Yaya, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Milner/Jovetic, Negredo. Hope Pellegrini doesn't go with the Dzeko-Negredo partnership tonight.

Dzeko and Negredo have been kicking a$$ and taking names together (prior to Kun's return)...so dont see why not??

I am not for changing philosophy/formation up front to suit the opponent.

I prefer in-game adjustments. Start with two strikers, if it dont work - THEN change it up...

Besides, we really dont look too good with one striker up front (excluding Bayern away, but that was something else).

Hope so mate, im a pessimist, I think we are better than Chelsea, I just think Mou will do whatever to win tonight, including getting his players to kick etc, we saw it happen with SWP in every derby with that govan bastard in charge!

Come on you Blues!

[rushts]

If we have a full strength team (bar Sergio and Nasri) i think we'll win.

Can anybody confirm the fitness of Fernandinho?
