Pre Match Thread: Chelsea vs City

Re: Pre Match Thread: Chelsea vs. Man City

im wary of Chelsea's set pieces. Hazard will spend most of his Time on the floor and whoever the ref is will hardly contain his delight at the ability to award multiple free kicks, possibly a red too.

Chelsea will score from these as we are shite at defending anything. 2-0 chelsea.

A draw will be a good result, and I think we'll get it

----------------Hart
Zab--Kompany--Mangala--Clichy
--------------Fernando
Navas-Silva-Fernandinho-Milner
--------------Aguero

Re: Pre Match Thread: Chelsea vs. Man City

I would settle for not being humiliated.

We need to stiffen up the midfield or our defence will cave in as usual.

Hart - Zabba, Mangala, Demichelis, Clichy, - Navas, Silva, Kompany, Milner, Kolorov, - Aguero

Hang on for grim death and hope for a break at the other end.

Who is the ref?

Wait, how many people do you propose playing out of position?

We are the current champions, albeit struggling at the moment. It doesn't mean its terminal. Chelsea got a lesson yesterday and have a hard match on Tuesday.

Too many writing us off prematurely

Hart
Zaba-Demi-Mangala-Clichy
Fernandinho-Fernando-Milner
Navas-Aguero-Silva

Try and get it so we at least occasionally have two men in midfield, instead of one man chasing after three men like a nutter. Keep Navas and Aguero high up the pitch to take advantage of their horrendous lack of pace at the back

Nobody, Kompany in the Yaya role backed up by Milner and Navas wide right, Kolorov wide left

Aguero lone striker Silva just behind him floating, it might just work.

Re: Pre Match Thread: Chelsea vs. Man City

Kompany and Aguero are way off being match fit and if the midfield is going to be Fernando and Fernandinho then we won't be competing in that department. I expect us to be slow and predictable going forward like we have been and for Chelsea to be organized and resolute (Something we're not) only for them to counter with the like of Hazard, Oscar & Costa on the break.

You have to remember Chelsea's side against Bradford was missing Courtois, Terry, Ivanovic, Hazard, Costa, Fabregas & Matic.

I really hope we have a Roma type game, defend really well and efficiently hit them on the break.

The first league game this year where I have no optimism about it.
