Pre Match Thread: Chelsea vs City

[Davs 19]

Sick of this useless Chilean yes man fucking about with our defence.

Biggest game of the season and no Zabba.

Fucking joke.

Get a grip you weirdo, let's see how Sagna plays before having a fucking breakdown. Zaba's hardly been brilliant this year and Sagna's fucking cracking back up.

Yeah he's definitely gone a bit mental there, although in fairness Sagna hasn't done anything to be seen as cracking back up as yet this year. He's looked a bit ponderous going forward and his passing has been wayward.
Hopefully today will be the day where he proves to be the player he was at arsenal, because that player was more than good enough to cover Zabaleta.

Looks like the Pellers fancies him more against Hazard, just like he used to favour Zab rather than Micah, for Bale.

Please no Fernando.

Can't see anything better than a draw in this and that would do me.

Agreed. If Pellers doesn't change his current tactical thinking, we haven't a prayer

Given their recent performances, I Wouldn't have Fernando or Navas anywhere near today's team sheet myself.

Rather than going all out for a win and getting "mugged" on the counter attack, (yet again) Our main objective today should be to keep at least 10 men behind the ball throughout, park the bus, and take the Point we start with,

Navas is too lightweight to cope with a physical battle of this sort, while Fernando hasn't even attempted to challenge an opponent, with anything worthy of the name, for weeks now.

I'm sure "Pellers" will disagree, but this is the team I would start with
____________Hart_____________
__Sagna______________Clichy__
_____Kompany__Mangala_______
____Milner________Fernandinho__
____________Silva_______________
__Zabaleta___________Kolororov__
____________Aguero____________

Zabba & Kolorov to tuck in (& make it a 4-5-1) when Chelsea have it, or push forward to make it 4-3-3 when we have possession

Thank goodness he has.

Mourinho clearly fancying playing a fast counter game putting Remy in over Drogba. Hope we've worked on defending this after our last couple of games. I think Fernando could be the key man today, hope he steps up.

 

[Davs 19]

Classy as ever.

Let's just hope our inexperienced no mark of a manager turns to this forum or we are doomed!!

 

[Damien10]

All the Lampard stuff going on is nonsense, keep him away from this game. How would you feel if Chelsea win and at the final whistle Lampard lapping up cheers and probably shedding tears...

 

[blueste41]

Why would you choose Kolarov to start? Suicidal. Never mind Clichy being in brilliant form, Aleks has steeply declined this year.

Don't think anyone suggested Kolarov should start!
