City vs chelsea pre match thread.

On the plus side, we'll have a bit of extra height at set pieces.

We've got some big units playing tonight, but Chelsea easily match us.

Its a beautiful bridge, keep on saying that, there will be a bridge and there will be one, there you go again Moriarty with those negative waves, springs to mind :-)

Howwwlll, howlllll !!!!!! Woof woof!!!

What i dont understand is WHY IN THE WORLD is Dzeko starting?!! His passing and overall game just is quite horrible and he makes so many frustrating mistakes, Jovetic was such an easy inclusion yet hes gone with Dzeko?!

God i really hope im proven wrong.

I am sorry but that is bullshit.

Dzeko's overall play at Spurs was excellent, he just couldn't score. But everything else was excellent. And the last times he and Negredo played together, they have been lethal.

Much too big a game to rely on Jovetic starting.

COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

We can still do this lot!

POSITIVE THINKING, PLEASE.

Good to see the injured boys turning up to support the lads. Great team spirit.

I'm not flapping, I think we'll still win.

Well done on missing the point, but still solidifying it.

I'd say people stating we will get battered in midfield or will now lose 3-1 is flapping. But whatever.

So long as stating that makes you feel better

When I get cut up by a car and shout "you ****", it makes me feel better but changes nothing. Just as pointing out the flappers for what they are makes me feel better without changing anything.

So I'll take you up on that and enjoy the game more than that sort will.

MP want's to pressure Chelsea. Negredo does seem to work better as a partnership. The more attacking players we have pushing them back the harder it will be to break. We aren't a great defending team so we should focus on scoring as many goals as possible because I don't see them scoring many.

Navas/Zabs could be the most important players tonight, how him and Zabaleta work together to deal with getting past their left back is very important, that is their weak link in their defence.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Good one to win for the message it will send out.

It's really hard not to question md instead of Milner.

Milner is a proper midfield player and he runs through brick walls every time he plays.

Md is ok just about for cover in defence but he is no midfield player his legs have gone, no pace. I just can't understand that selection at all.

Fernadino will be a huge miss for us he has been one of our best players this season. Really we can afford to loose him for one game out of our next 6 let alone more.
