Cholo 428 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm so excited and nervous. Match days this season are blessing and curse equally cause I look forward to the matches but somehow always tend to be afraid because we need titles so Jose can continue at the bridge!

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ramires has always struggled against Yaya. Luiz was the one who matched him physically - even before Matic arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Good analysis on SKY. The pivot last year between matic and Luiz was great in the big matches. Both could press and drop deep, and if they wasn't close together most of the time as all pivot players should be it was the cover dangerous space. Today we will have to win a different way, Ramires is just not a pivot player in terms of moving in tandem with Matic so the 3 is needed, hoping that we put our foot on the ball and keep hold of it as that's what we're suited too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ramires has always struggled against Yaya. Luiz was the one who matched him physically - even before Matic arrived.one more reason for him to hold position and not move forward too much... we need both Rami and Matic more fixed today...

quickpassnmove 924 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 let me make sure I'm seeing this correctly: New CB starting for ManCity and NO FERNANDO? Let's go, the Chels! Score some goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I like the lineup as I said a few minutes ago, but I didn't develop further because I was choking on my drool from laughing my arse off at United... but now I'm somewhat recovered, I'll try to talk properly, lol.I think Ramires and Matic should hold position a lot in this match and I DON'T want/expect them to bomb forward much. Make the transition through Willian and Fabregas and let them get the ball moving to the attack.It's absolutely necessary - regardless of how good or bad Toure is now (I believe players like him crave big matches like this, so I expect a lot of improvement by him compared to their previous matches this season), that we protect our defense against their two strikers and smart playmaker. So I do hope they follow the instructions I have no doubt Mourinho gave them to think about defending first - and mostly - and let the attackers (including Fab as one of them here) do the transition and set up our attack.If Rami or Matic venture too much to the attack I think we're screwed.Yup, spot on. If Rami and Matic aren't positionally disciplined then we'll concede.I'm also a little worried about City playing two strikers, they've caused our CBs a lot of trouble in the past where one drops deep and the other runs behind which seems to really fuck with Terry and Cahill. If the CBs go with the strikers they must not get turned, however I'm pretty sure they will so again Matic must be there to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
