City vs Chelsea pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Nolito and his temper can't be trusted in a game like this,sterling has a knock from last week
3 at the back didn't work well last time but he changed it quickly last time

Sane and Navas on the wings is as ineffectual as Vassell and Musampa at the moment!

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

ah bless...

I'm not really feeling that line up but let's see how the game goes

No Sterling today is gonna hurt. The midfield must control this game.

Anyone else watching Chelsea TV? Just have a chavs scarf around the Sky presenter and have done with it.

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.

This is the biggest misconception on here ever.

Kolarov adds no steal and no fight whatsoever. He is the biggest fake hardman ever..cant tackle, average in the air and slow as shit. A few tattoos and a grumpy look mean nothing as far as adding steal to a defence.

our left hand side with him and Sane in it (who looks like a rabbit in the headlights ) is very vulnerable
