Prioritise Barcelona or Chelsea?

prioritise the league please

we won't win the champions league

what no quadruple lol
 
Strong team for both. No way should we be throwing the FA Cup, especially if we were to get through only one of Liverpool and Arsenal would realistically stand in our way. Sounds arrogant but with the talent in our squad I think that's fair to say.

3pts tomorrow first though.
 
Tricky one- Chelsea for me, our next best chance of a trophy after league cup given who is (not) left. Dont want to give Mourinho a free ride
, rather put a marker down and then hopefully fun on adrenalin/momentum against Barce -
 
Play the strongest possible team in all three matches. Don't train - play. Any pro footballer will tell you they prefer playing to training anyway so that's all you do. If Chris Froome and Brad Wiggins can cycle up mountains for hundreds miles day after day then it's no problem, is it. Grow a pair and get on with it!
 
prioritise the next game whoever that may be, so norwich is the most important

looking to "throw" a game doesn't sit comfortably with me

chelsea is an important game, especially for those parting with hard earned cash to sit in the stands
 
It's the Champions League stupid!

(Quote borrowed from a Bill Clinton election campaign - 'It's the economy stupid' - before anyone thinks I'm having a go at them personally)
 
Play best available team versus Chelsea and hope that some of the injured players are back against Barca. No way would I be happy to see us throw the FA Cup away, could do that and then get beat off Barca and then we're out of both.

I think we have to play the strongest team because we really don't have any other team left at the minute, we put our 'reserves' out against Watford in the first half and they got picked apart. We then had to make do with a defender in midfield against Chelsea and again got battered on all fronts. Regardless of training I don't think we have any choice but to put out our strongest side because at the moment we are running on the bare minimum and it is starting to catch up with us because Chelsea showed every team in the league that we can be beaten relatively easily by shoring up and taking advantage of that weakness in midfield which is all because of us being arrogant playing with 2 strikers and assuming we are going to score 10.

Aguero, Nasri and Fernandinho will definitely play in the Barcelona game I think but it would surprise me if any of them played in the Chelsea game because why risk bringing them back early for an FA Cup match when we need them not only for Barcelona but also for the rest of the league games and a cup final. We cannot afford for any of them to return early and then suddenly be sat out for a month with the run of fixtures we have coming up.

The Chelsea game for me doesn't have any bearing on the title but it will stretch both teams so I don't think it will have much priority. Mourinho will no doubt come out again and say that Chelsea cannot win the league or the FA Cup whilst City are still in it but I maintain that Chelsea aren't that great of a side, they just figured us out on Monday. If we don't return the gifts we gave to them on Monday tactically then we can comfortably beat them. This time we know what Chelsea will do when they come here because they have no choice and hopefully Pellegrini will wise up to the type of team he needs to play.
