PRE-MATCH DISCUSSION AND LIVE CHAT



English Premier League
3rd February, Monday, 2014
Etihad Stadium
20:00 Kick Off (UK time)

[HD3D 1,038]

Positive notes heading to City:
- We now know which players are in ridiculous form and we probably won't have to find out that the hard way against City.
- We will go to City looking for a victory and not a draw.

Negative:
- Anything short of a victory against City will mean the end of our title hopes.

Easy

Best defense vs best attack, a proper showdown.

The only black mark on City's night was that Jovetic had replaced Aguero, who sustained a hamstring injury just before half-time and is now a doubt for Monday's crucial meeting with Chelsea at the Etihad.

As the great Floyd Mayweather says "Easy work.". Chelsea wins 3-1.

[yuvala 2,167]

I fully expect a genius tactic plan from Mou and 200% effort from the players.

We can win this and we shall do so..

If anyone can stop City its us .

C'mon Chelsea, KTBFFH !!

yaya toure and aguero injured?

I would love to be optimistic about this encounter but thinking we'll win at the Etihad is like losing at the Bridge back in '07. Can't see City losing at home this season so a draw would be a very good result.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

If city win we are 6 points behind the title, basically game over, we shld hv really won today

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

I agree with Yuvala. If we can't stop City at the Etihad, then nobody can.

However, I trust Jose and believe that with a bit of luck we can snatch a win. Le arse is probably going to beat Crystal Palace so we cannot afford to lose against City.

Come on You Blues!!

After that game, just do what west ham did 11 men in the box play for the draw.

[Irakozium257 350]

We can def. get a draw at least. I know that the game against the pikeys was frustrating, but looking on the bright side, we have solved our defensive deficiencies relatively very well and we were very unlucky not to score at least two, all they could do was defend and play primitively. Besides this game can really prove how far we've come and I know that City will try to play as they usually do and I can see us succesfully counter-attacking them so many times since all of our players will surely always track back. This team could very well do the job;

Cech

Azpi/Ivanovic David Luiz Terry Cole

Matic Ramires

Willian Oscar Hazard

Eto'o

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Another 5:1 for City...

It will be game on its own, but current form, their stadium and just a draw vs Whu surely put more chances for City. Also pressure is on us.

I hope we wont get demolished...city attack is deadly at Etihad...

Not that easy against city who has dzeko and Negredo

[blu35_army 551]

remember what's Mou said, secure the CL spot next season. we're fuck in forward dept., the only chance is Hazard at a best form and we can do one or two chance make fast counter attack. in last match,,they save Negredo and Aguero subs earlier. Matic must show that he is worth to be back in this club....

no more Mikel and Azpi at LB......

[samzilla 517]

forget the last game...focus on the next game

Best defense vs best attack, a proper showdown.

Arsenal and Liverpool both had the best defense in the league when they played City... it didn't end well.

In all honesty i'm confident, it'll be a good match, i just hope we don't play for the draw like we did against United (away) and Arsenal.
