robsblubot 2,814 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 If Sarri starts Giroud up front, CHO on the right, Emerson, and replaces Luiz with Andreas, then it's going to be a pretty easy game... otherwise, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not confident at all, im sorry, just the tought of City riping us apart makes me cry, thats how low we have reached ffs, gone are the days we would bully top teams at our home turf and away too with ease.

Special Juan 26,441 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Dead rubber, we will be out passed, out classed, punished and it will be damage limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 6,490 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The beginning of the revival. Loftus-Cheek, Emerson, Giroud and Pedro to start. Chelsea to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccheongf 211 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Manchester City is still the team to beat. A Draw is a great result, can’t see chances of winning. Chelsea have shy strikers who cannot score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is City, who are champions, currently top of the league and no other team came close to beating them. Football is a funny game, we could be the ones that beat these lot. BUT if we play the same line up as v. Spuds or v. Wolves, it is almost a banker that we are going to lose. @ the seriousness of the reply...

Laylabelle 8,999 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just keep it to a less alwful score line. Already lost 3-1 so unless somehow lose to 4 won't be so bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,124 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Prices are already out, 4.00-4.00-1.90. City -1 3.10 recommended City-City 3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 A test on what Sarri has learnt in the charity shield and numerous games this season, if he dosn't change things/personnel we are doomed ....Flogging a dead horse springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely joking at the idea that "Sarri is making mistakes by start these instead of those." It is extremely likely that his selections are very close to our best. An underperforming player does not make the potential substitute any better. Especially when you consider the obvious drop in quality and experience on our bench. You can go into characteristics, like what we like and dislike about particular players, but that is entirely up to the manager as he is building a team (not just a collection of players). It's a game to make few changes and it will take an herculean effort to get anything out of this game. We will need to be more compact than we've been lately and far more focused starting with the guys up front (including hazard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 26,441 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 An under-performing player should be benched, it's really that simple, that's how it should always be and how it was years ago. That's whether it's Hazard, Kante or Rudiger, nobody should be allowed to under perform as it's detrimental to the teams progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
