DROGBA

oh come on man.

yes yes yes yes. Hazard on the wing and Griezmann on the other is what I wanted since the summer. Would be incredible and even if it's unlikely, I'd hope we would try.

Would have Fonte over Cahill, Azpi over Bertrand, Fabregas over Coutinho, Clyne over Ivan.

Ospina; Skrtel, Terry, Yoshida; Coutinho, Sterling, Hazard, Cambiasso, Silva; Aguero, Kane

wrong thread

Don't mind arsenal really -- quite like wenger as well. Think it'll be a 1-1. Probably no reason attempt to attack and go for a win when we already won vs United so I'd expect us to play it safe for a point. Win would be glorious.

HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ramires would be good to try and claim the ball from them but he'll just end up losing it again.

Can't even take the ball off them. Lots of challenges they're easing through

ah drogba

Not getting into any argument or really agreeing/disagreeing with anyone, but just because Fellaini is their main outlet it doesn't mean we'll get beat. Do you not think we have enough in the locker to beat them, especially with the likes of Carrick (who helps everything go through to Fellaini) injured, with no DM, an inexperienced defence, Falcao up top? I think you'd have more confidence in that regard -- we're top of the league too not just some mid table team... ---- Either way, José prepared this team all week to what was expected -- the injuries were only announced yesterday so not really much he would've changed in time. Not really much point so this team will get the job done either way.

With Carrick and Blind out think we could've played a more attacking formation in the first half. Nonetheless this makes me more confident that we won't lose.

How does Willian not being there suggest a 0-0 approach? I'd surely see him starting if he we wanted to be very defensive

Park the plane here. See good reason to play defensive. Hazard does well on the counter against these lot and if we take an early lead I don't think they have much chance of getting into the game. There are ways to negate Fellaini and our pace is better than Man United's -- City have no outlet and are slow to the ball but we're very good at pressing for the ball in periods then conserving our energy with sterile possession, which is why Remy will be quite important.

People on blue moon being a bit delusional with their lineups next year. Lots feel they're able to buy bale, pogba, sterling & koke all in one window! likewise :)

Oscar to score 4 goals. Hazard penalty Mata with a brace rooney FK 5-3

If we can get ramsey as part of it I'm for it

goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon why is this so poor.

a grand total of 3 appearances...? (with only one being a start, I believe). Not enough to judge anything about his ability really. Then again, not totally sure what the original comment was a response to.

5 defenders now? hahaha

REMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Courtois triple save
