MefiX19 1,092 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Rudi, Christensen, Azpi in defence. Cesc, Baka and Kante in mid. Hazard and Morta up top please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The real test. The coming week will be crucial and a benchmark for how good we actually are. Both ManCity and Atletico probably have their best teams in their club history. And I have feeling our wingbacks are not quite cut for this level. But sadly we have few alternatives -------------Tibo------------ ---Azpi----Luiz---Rüdiger-- Zappa--Kante--Baka--Alonso --------------Cesc-------------- --------Morata----Hazard----- That front three on form will be one of the best in Europe. I hope we will see a first sight of that midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sicarius 610 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 For me there is one 11 that we must put: Tibo Azpi-Luiz-Rudiger Moses-Kante-Fabs-Baka-Alonso Hazard-Morata Willian and Pedro shouldn't start for sure if we want kept at least 1 point.

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Cesc shouldn't start this one, he doesn't have the stamina to be at his best playing 2 games in 4 days, especially vs this calibre of opposition. Don't Leti play a 2 man midfield? Think we need the extra man in the middle more on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 According to elos Atletico = 1960, Chels = 1915. There is n't much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvala 2,167 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Guys, I must be the stupidest person alive. I'll be in fucking Madrid on this very same fucking day and somehow it never crossed my mind to buy tickets !! God I hate myself right now.

different level 1,056 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm really looking forward to this as we have some unfinished business to take care of. Not just with the Costa situation, the 13/14 ECL semi-final was not that long ago and also who could forget the 12/13 European Supercup when they've thrashed us.

I am pretty sure Conte rested him with Atleti in mind and gave him those 10mins just to keep his Rhythm but he barely broke a sweat. There might be tactical reasons not to start him but fitness should not be an issue at all. He will be fresh and raring to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see him being saved for City as we will need a few changes for that one. I remember when we played them a few days after the league cup semi and were blowing out of our arses after half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadistChicken 143 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Fighting against one of the lowest conceding defense and then one of the highest scoring attack in Europe. Where is those guys that keep spamming "the first real test"? Cause that's the time, first real test in becoming once again a domestic and international elite!
