The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This is NOT a friendly.Yes, dont get hurt or injured.Take precautions. But play the game with style and passion every time you competetively put on the Chelsea Shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Daily Mail reporting that Joe Hart is out with an injury. Increases our chances a lot if true, so here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 No Hart, Silva, Balotelli, Kompany, RIchards and a few other players apparently. Jesus we could win quite easily here if we get our tactics right. Just get pacy players in behind Savic and Lescott if they're playing and score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,533 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No Hart, Silva, Balotelli, Kompany, RIchards and a few other players apparently. Jesus we could win quite easily here if we get our tactics right. Just get pacy players in behind Savic and Lescott if they're playing and score goals i am not so sure. pantilimon is no turnbull and zabaleta, toure, aguero, and nasri are more than capable backups. couple with that the shit we've put up in pre-season so far, this could go south very easily unless we improve a LOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do that and we have every chance. Well if we do better than in pre season anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I hate it when we play Man City. They are strong, and we haven't exactly figured them out yet the way we've managed to keep United, Arsenal and Barcelona fairly harmless past few years. And I find it a bit more difficult to take a loss against them than one against a 'traditionally big' club. If likes of Silva and Kompany are missing out, however, we should be able to win this one.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 As Ryan said they have quite a few key players out. Silva/Nasri/Kompany the main ones who probably won't feature. Having said that, they will still put out a very strong side which speaks volumes about how strong their squad is. Feeling a bit more confident now though.

FormerRussianSpy 163 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Silva is, for the most part, the linchpin of City's front four. Nasri linking play isnt quite the same as Silva linking play *knock on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 In saying that, Nasri still ripped a new one in our defense last we played them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Feeling nervous about this one. Not the most important of matches but definitely want to see us win the game especially after the dodgy pre-season that we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
