Closed Chelsea 2-3 Man City

[Kinol 337]

Again people putting Ramires on the wing.....are you guys fucking nuts? I give up.

Well, is there any game that Ramires will work as a winger it is this. We think we will have a lot of counter attacks.

Ppl chill,,,, we got this

[Hamilton 2,118]

Can't watch the game, son is playing footie, i hope they don't dissapoint me..

[Shak 22]

Gut feeling that City will win 1-0. Chelsea's pre season has been awful. The only positives have been watching Chalobah and Marin.

i agree that ramires is not great on the wing but given that we dont have oscar or Marin for the shield and mata is probably tired, ramires seems like the only option for the right wing.

[Strike 6,989]

Ramires has a clone...

Mikel Lampard and Essien in the middle then. we are short of quality options in mid without marin, mata and oscar

[Jase 43,479]

Cech

Ivanovic-Cahill-Terry-Cole

Mikel-Essien

Hazard-Lampard-Mata

Torres

Lampard in the hole just ain't gonna work. Not suited to play in that role.

And Ramires offers lots of defensive protection down the right side. In big games like this, I have not much problem with him starting at RW if our plan is to play on the counter attack.

Sturridge or maybe Benayoun.

My starting line up. Come on Chelsea!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Apparently Silva and/or Nasri may not start. Kompany probably won't either. We could have a real chance to win this with Mata also hopefully playing. I think RDM will pick Ramires again on the RW instead of Marin/Hazard...

Juve - Napoli like choulo said while brazil - mexico is also on today. Ligue 1 football (PSG) later on today as well.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

lion vs giant bird

In all seriousness, it should be a great match. Juve want revenge for the defeat in the cup final.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

My day will be spent watching the Women Basketball and Brazil v Mexico and Real Madrid vs Celtic on ITV4!!! then flick over to the Athletics! Decent day of sports ahead!
