Do we have any believers for a result today?

Everyone seems to accept that Chelsea will just have to turn up for the three points today but I'm not buying it.

Lescott and Toure will unquestionably have to have their best game of the season to keep their attack quiet but there are definite signs of imrovement there already. De Jong should come back in for Tevez and stick to Lampard like glue and Bellamy and SWP will need to equally cover midfield and attack to support Adebayor who looks more and more like a player who is motivated for the big games.
We would then also have Robinho and the urgency of Tevez to come off the bench. We played similarly to this at Anfield but looked happy to settle for a draw. If we go at Chelsea with a little bit more adventure and belief we can get something today.

Villa and Wigan have proved that Chelsea can be beaten and the atmosphere should be rocking so there is no way we should just accept we are going to get turned over.

we'll not get beat thats for sure, fancy us winning this.

It's our hardest game of the season and my head tells me Chelsea will win.

I've just got this sneaky little feeling we're due a heroic, backs to the wall, ride our luck 1-0 win.

If we draw do we make a record?

Yeah. We join that list, as the only entry for the top division, ever, in the history of the English professional league.

2-2 it is, then... Typical City.

I believe! We have to outnumber them in midfield when they are in possesion and try and break quickly out wide. Stretch them a bit. Ade NEEDS to be on form todaay if we are to get anything IMO

I go to every city game thinking were gonna win the game (if only hughes thought like that), today i don't think we'll get anything at all, everyone was kissing each others arses wednesday because we won, we won but we was still average, that performance in the Premiership wouldn't of even got us a point.

I won't us to win no matter what but i'm expecting a loss today, if i come away from the ground at 7.25 and we've lost i won't be extremely suprised or gutted, you can't use the excuse Chelsea are the best and so, who gives a shit, it's who best on the day that counts, obviously in terms of quality they are way above us but if we win it would be a bonus.

It's not a hughes out reflective post but i just think his tactics and gameplan will fall right into Chelsea's hands today, if we play the same game as wednesday we have absolutely no chance of getting anything from this game.
