Pep's tinkered with 3 at the back recently, so wouldn't be too surprised if he deploys the same tactics again.

Aguero will test this back 3 and I wouldn't be surprised if Yaya would come in to keep Kante occupied. But this is a good match where you do want Matic, Kante, Luiz, Cahill. Strong players that will be able to out strength a few of these City players. Equally Costa-Hazard v Stones, Otamendi/Kolarov will be exciting. That defensive unit is exposed for City as well so if these 2 link up well we'll have some fun. 

Sterling v Alonso, Moses v left-wing  

CAREFREE. 

Hes played 4-2-3-1 last few games tho

 

Heres a vid of the lads training recently

Gonna be great game IMO. I think it will be difficult, but we have chances to win. City is vulnerable in defence and hopefuly we dont park the bus because they will be all over us then. Press them and we can win.

I would take a draw tho.

Loving the quick, one touch passing drills in that video, thats how you beat the high press. It shows me that the Everton game wasn't a one off, we're obviously training to play at a high tempo and Conte wants the lads to be composed and confident on the ball.

What you've gotta think is WTF is going thru the Mancs heads.

Theyre all thinking Oh fuck this is going to be tough. Them Chelsea lot are playing amazing and we are drawing with a crap defence.

WE are the team in form right ow even with our weak spots. Sod em!

If Yaya Tour even reckons we are gonna win then I hope it spreads thru Stockport!

There was also the European Super Cup against Bayern where we lost on pens. But I'm guessing that's officially a friendly.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

One thing is for certain, we'll have to perform better than we did against Tottenham if we want the points here. 

I honestly would bite your hand off for a point right now. It's not pessimism, but rather maths and probability. We're well due to drop points in the league.

Gaps are there to improve us

Fantastic training video. We're training on first time passes against high pressing and training on how to stop quick passing at the same time, brilliant. Conte is counting the number of touches before each interception. 

I never knew that this channel exists, I'm subscribing now....

Liverpool fans trolling on Twitter saying in the weekend of El Classico, ManCity vs Chelsea is El Plastico.

And they will have their yearly El Meltdown soon enough where they fuck up again. 

 

Anyway, I expect a Citeh win. Was not very convinced by our recent performances against Boro and Spurs. Alonso is the weak link in the team. Sterling will bully him. Sterling is a fast little cunt, but nothing more. Alonso is pretty slow. Raheem loves Sterling will also probably dive a few times, because that's the only thing he can do and Pep, as a former UEFAlona player and coach, will probably instruct him to do so when he enters our box and the ref will give Penaguero a penalty. 

Also, the king of all Belgium bitches KdB will give 100% because of his Chelsea past. Where he should blame José for treathing him poorly. 

 

Citeh may win or whatever, and all those fucking idiots can say what they want about them and us being El Plastico or having no history: we have 10 times more identity than Citeh. And they're still LIGHTBLUE Mancs, and Mancs are trash.  

[Pizy 18,909]

Super anxious about Sterling against Alonso especially. Kyle Walker was just all pace and was beating him with ease last weekend. Sterling has pace and fantastic trickery at the same time. Pep will probably use him as his main threat and they'll be looking to get the ball to him at every opportunity.

If we manage to get any points at the Etihad it'll be a good result.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Cesc and JT possibly.

 Berfore every game your posts are soooo pesimistic

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

If I was Manager of Chelsea for this Match.

because Man City are Good on Attack.

I would play these Two Formations [5-4-1 or 4-5-1] throughout the Match.

No Matic and Willian, Cesc and Michy to start?? 4 2 4 against City??

4-2-4 with no Matic but Fabregas? Does Conte want City to flood our midfield?

[jernej93 569]

I couldn't spot Matić at training ground today ... is he injured? I hope Chalobah is his replacement, it could be an upgrade

Sadly I'm set to miss this game as work schedule is going to get in my way. Does anyone know what's the best way to watch the replay as soon as I get home without any spoilers? Are there any streams with the replay and is there a way to find out about them in advance?

IF its not on THEICEMANS link then theres bound to be a torrent. Just download it,.

 

Well in the grand scale of things tomorrows result is neither here nor there. If the wose happens the most important thing is how we handle it. IF we take it as a slap and come out fighting stronger after then great., But if it knocks our confidence then thats a fucjer.
But if its just about the points then no probs we can easy get them back over the next games.

But I reckon some of you are more sure pof us losing than Shitty lot are of beating us. Their fans Ive checked on are saying we are playing amazing and they will be lucky to get a draw!!

Im not thinking its gonnas be a walkover but I do think we will win.

Right I'm off to Mancland to go chat with the Berties. Had a looksee and seems clubs/bars up there shut at 4asm so booked a hotel.

Antone going I should think there shall be a few of us in the Spoons in town as I havent seen a decent pub near ground before!!

COME ON YOU FUCKIN BLUES!!!!
