Closed Chelsea v Man City

[bushman 2,043]

I hope the boys prove me wrong. Komapny is blow to their defense, but we'll need a couple of Silva, Toure and Aguero to be having an off day. The problem with City is that they have too many threats to mark.

as they say, in Jose we trust ?

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Celebrating Kompany being injured is short lived, they have a squad full of great players and we can easily lose this match. But I have faith that we can come out of this with at least a point, if not the win.

[Beirut_Blues 306]

Expecting we win.

[Zoro 151]

Lampard and Ramires will not win the midfield battle. Luiz in midfield instead of Lampard.

Mourinho full of praise about Yaya toure, saying he is complete midifelder.

He's just being diplomatic. Wouldn't expect him to say otherwise would you?

Offensively, think we all know the abilities of Toure but defensively, he's rubbish and lazy. If you get past him, he will usually just clumsily foul you or sometimes don't even bother doing that. He doesn't really track back much and help his team to defend really.

Lazy? Yeah, but I'd hardly say he's rubbish at tracking back and playing defensive when he's arsed to though.

It really depends on which yaya shows up. If he's in it then he is pretty much unplayable. If he's jaded, then I think Ramires and Mikel are enough to keep him quiet for spells.

[Jase 43,479]

Lazy? Yeah, but I'd hardly say he's rubbish at tracking back and playing defensive when he's arsed to though.

For a player of his quality and ability...yeah. Flatters to deceive defensively.

And of course nobody will look rubbish at tracking back and help to defend if they bother but like I said, Toure can never seem to bother himself with that.

[Kojo 4,676]

Always same from you.

How is that?

9/10 games this season I've said we are going to win, I'm one of the few who knows we can win the Premier League not getting sucked into this stupid Arsenal and Liverpool hype.

[Tomo 21,751]

Because when both teams are at their best, City are by far better. No one in the league comes close to the football that City can play when they are at their best, the kind of football that they played at OT this season. If they play like they did at OT, we honestly can't match their tempo and abilities; their squad is simply better. Plus City tend to have developed a knack of playing their best games against us in recent years.

If you factor in that we have 7-8 consecutive relatively easy, all winnable, matches in the league after this one, yeah, I'll chop your hand off right now for a boring 0-0 draw.

By far? if anything a little bit, but by far? we finished 3 points behind them last season, the Ethiad game was the difference between the two teams, and that was with a paper thin squad and Benitez, we now have a strong squad and Mourinho.

Whether they may be better is debatable, but if they are better than us, it's no way by the considerable distance you're making out.

City are a very good team and will be up there, but that good we should be frightened off playing them at home? no chance.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

If we lose tomorrow we can go down to 7th if Tottenham win.

[Hutcho 8,443]

We have 2 in form (well played great in their last game) strikers, for the first time in forever.

But i probably start torres.

I'm not talking about who is better or who will finish above the other, I'm talking about when both teams are at their best ; meaning the best football that either team has produced. And in that regards, City are capable of producing a higher level of football than we have showed so far. They can't do it at a regular basis which is why I think we will finish above them.

At their best, I don't think anyone in the league can match the attacking power of CIty or the tempo at which they move the ball.

and only 3 ahead of Man U which is a bit eek seeing as how crap they've been.Job to do..win this..move onto the next..lots of big games

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

I expect a good game unlike last year's 'tactical masterpiece' between FSW and Mancini, when we had 90 minutes of something without any chances.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Thank God Tevez is gone lol

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

All this laughing at City because Kompany is gonna miss Sunday's game is really gonna fall flat on our faces if we mess things up then..

PMA brother! PMA

[Fernando 6,585]

This is the game where Mata should not start!

He always go shit against people like Yaya on his ass.

So get some dynamite in the team this time.
