City vs Chelsea pre-match thread

think it will be scrappy game

Sterling failed a late fitness test, Nolito rested according to the official website

 

[jollylescott]

Thought he would go 3 at the back. But I am surprised by Sane (wonder what happened to Sterling?).

Anyway its a great chance for Sane to step up, as Pep is placing a lot of trust in him.

Just saw that Sterling is injured.

pep always surprises you ! 3 at the back

sterling failed a fitness test it seems. big game for sane

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Pep is probably protecting sterling after a bad game, he's probably realised what a bunch of vultures the press are and decided to take him out of the firing line

So everyone else slates the formation and it's accepted yet I do it and you immediately pick on me. Clearly you have an agenda

You are a troll and we all know it

Kolorv against their pace wide is always a worry

3 at the back huge worry

Sane who has shown nothing as of yet instead of sterling and nolito - just don't get that at all

Ottomendi marshalling the back 3 and against costa when Otto is so prone to diving in and costa is a huge drama queen

And bloody Navas!.....the most wasteful attacking player in the premiership....

I hope this is some sort of huge masterplan by Pep cause that is a fucking weird team.....Kolraov Sane Navas wouldn't get anywhere near the bench for me at present so hopefully Pep really is a genius!

Navas, Silva and Sane in the front line. No guarantee of goals there

 

[TFC]

No problem with Kolarov being a CB for this one, said earlier in the week we would need some steel back there to deal with plug.

It'll be a back 3/5 with Sane and Navas doing plenty of defensive work.

You're pathetic. Every single post is worried about that formation and all you're worried about is my next post. It's quite frankly rather sad
