Rambo 1,729 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 We can't give any space for city to work with..easier said than done with Silva/Aguero/Nasri on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 lessons learned from the past. we have out performed when the media least expects us to ...Against New Castle , the media never thought we would win with a 3 goal margin .. but we won.Against Valencia, the media certainly didn't think Chelsea will qualify ... but then again we proved them wrong. Hope the media have all eyes on City and not on us for this one too ... who knows we might actually surprise them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo 1,729 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Apparently Sammy Hutchinson has been named in the PL squad, suprise start perhaps?Interesting...could it be because Alex won't be included? Don't think AVB will use Hutchinson in such a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 He'll probably be on the bench... Ivanovic will play CB and Ferreira will be RB provided Bosingwa doesn't recover from whatever's bothering him (injury?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware you can't just add a player to the list whenever you feel like it, otherwise what's the point of being forced to register.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 If we're playing Torres we're basically playing with ten men from the start; he's that lost on the pitch at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if the Rafa Spanish connection got the best out of him...theres always been a Portuguese/Spanish rivalry similar to Scotland/England...either way he could be out next Summer unless a dramatic improvement.Someone posted on here, as a joke , that he was a secret agent from Liverpool...in my darkest conspiracy moments I'm starting to think so. But I know its not true.cue Twilight Zone music..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Abramovich 175 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was under the impression Youth Players/Homegrown talent can be added throughout the season. Only if they're under 21. Otherwise homegrown doesn't mean much except count as part of your 8 players that you need to register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1chelsea 864 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 talk torres, it all clear that torres can't play football if you don't give him a ball, last match with valencia dd was supply passes from all corner of the pitch, but as soon as torres was introduce and mata out all thing change torres was not given a pass for him to work on. he tried to make it by himself so i will say to all chelsea fans to make our player to supply torress and will get something in return. cos that what gerrard do supply torres passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Should we just defend the shit out of this game?, for example 4 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders?, i doubt AVB will sit back though, he will definitely go for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have a feeling Lamps will return. Romeu will have to be at his best to contain Silva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicrico 175 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hope Torres doesn't start this one for us. Looks useless again. Everytime he touches the ball he miscontrols, looks off balance and i'm sorry, yeah strikers can lose confidence but to look THAT dogshit is unacceptable. He had his run, looked half decent for about 3 games, now looks worse than ever. I have always hoped he would come good but being realistic he looks like he will never get back to the old him. I genuinely get worried when I watch him come on for us, only because his touch is embarrassing, my mates (Utd and Arsenal) always say how shit he looks, and I can't even deny it!Anyways! back to this game. So tight, we can't match them attacking wise, I think our key player here is Rammy. He is pretty much our version of Yaya toure for man city. A runner, but he imo is quicker and probably better feet if weaker. Either way if he can find space I think we have a decent chance. Other end of the pitch though, They will deffo start Silva,Toure,Barry, then probably Kun(t), Nasri and Dzeko? Thats problems. For any team. Key men are Silva,toure and Kun. Shut them out and I think we have a chance.AVB...show us what you got. We need to beat a big team. This could kickstart a big run off. With Spurs coming up, being able to take out city and inflict their first defeat would be a massive message to everyone else...WERE BACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Drogba's back, he deserves to start against City. And I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in my opinion Torres looked really motivated in the last 2 games, when he only played in the last minutes.I think Sturridge and Drogba's good form will help Fernando too.
