A quote from Fat Angela? Fair dinkum cobber! 

Funny that Spurs lost again today, as did Newcastle. Not unsurprisingly lots of excuses being made by the clubs, the fans and the media about the amount of injuries and suspensions they have. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind. Coz we never have any injuries do we?

In a nutshell.

Match Day!

Come on Chelsea!!

GAMEDAY!! COME ON CHELS!!

City are a great team but I think you're in danger of paying them too much respect Axman. They have already lost to Wolves and Arsenal this season and have no KDB and now John Stones is injured. We shouldn't fear them and I honestly think if we play like we did against Arsenal, we CAN get a result (but we mustn't start Disasi!)

Were definitely paying them too much respect, people forget that between us and city we've won 6 put on the last 7 titles.........

 

 

 

Definitely think we should let them have the ball, park the bus for the first 60 minutes if we can and then if  they wear themselves out on our defensive rock we can  push back at the end. If they get over confident we might get a fast break goal or score from a corner. 

If we get anything out of this fixture, it'll be great. Let's not fool ourselves, City are miles ahead of us as a team, they're probaly the best side in Europe at the moment. It'll take an incredible effort on our part and an off day for them to get a point out of this, let alone three.

Agree!

City will still be top if they lose this game by less than 4 goals, so we are nailed on for a narrow win and everyone is happy !

We lose this but I want to see how we match them

Well if Pep does do something mad, City are not at their best, make mistakes and we are flawless it is still a cold bucket of water knowing who the ref is and he will screw us over IF City are not at it.

O oooo okay I just realised Anthony Taylor is the ref we are screwed!!!

The best team doesn't always win!

PL insurance policy just incase City don't decided to show up.

Win, lose or draw I just want to see the team to compete.  It's just maddening that mid-table teams keep picking up unexpected points, so we never get ahead.  Speaking of mid-table teams currently watching the Forest game; I hope we never ever sell or loan players to them again. Where's CHO? Where's Santos?   Anyway hopefully the Bridge will be rocking and dampen that Blue Moon this afternoon.

Yeah what a waste for Andrey.

No away side is winning so far today...

That would be the sensible way to go, if you have more possession than City, likely you will get picked apart on the counter, which is a lot easier for them than breaking down comact defence. I recall Sarri and Lampard teams all got ripped apart for going toe to toe with them. Poch is a proven manager, and after 6 losses in a row, we could only get better.

Not really true.

Yes Sarri got torn apart once but the other two times got a clean sheet while Lampard became the first ever manager to have more possesion against a Pep side and was desperately unlucky to lose.

 

 

Good lineup, I would've picked that but with Colwill over Disasi, where's Colwill though? Can't see him on the bench either. 

Disasi...he won't get away with all those mistakes against city. We should have dropped him for this game

Very strong City side.

And after Jackson misses the first couple of sitters we need to swap him for Broja  🙂

Must be either ill or injured. Shame his pace would have been useful. 

Cities pace vs our slow CBS. Their line up is what a billion should by you. Class in every position.

Cucurella deserves the start though.

Good to have him back again, though probably means Albaina call him up and he gets injured again...

I get the feeling this will be @Nibs about Disasi today.
