We would park the bus, not surprise.

Čech; Ivanović, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Matić, David Luiz; Willian, Ramires, Hazard; Eto'o

Excellent, a three man midfield just like I was hoping for. Matic, Luiz, Ramires should easily be able to overpower Yaya and Demichelis.

4-3-3, then?? and No Oscar WTF

[Namika 922]

We will press them hard, that's why Jose put Luiz there.

Salah on the bench

Dislike our starting XI. Without Aguero and Fernadinho who are both hurt (lucky us), I think we have a decent chance to win, but we have such an incredible lack of creativity and our defensive midfielders have combined for what, 4 games in that position with Chelsea this season?

Subs v Man City: Schwarzer, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Oscar, Salah, Ba. #CFC

Interesting that Mourinho starts Luiz in midfield after the purchase of Matic...actually rates him there.

Im not calling that parking the bus.

Im calling it playing smart and try to get important points against another top league winner contender by utilizing our strenghts: defend and counter.
