Every time, there's 'Azpi will struggle against X, Y, Z' bla bla bla but every time, he dealt with whatever threat well enough that there's no problem from his side. except this season he has been burnt for pace more than usual, and its only natural he is rapidly ageing out and has played INSANE minutes each season for well over a decade now also, Sterling is a fair example, as he is one of the fastest players in Europe I am not saying it will happen for sure, but its harsh to bash someone simply for broaching the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 All our rivals teams have produced a perfect result to start of their year! I am preparing to be disappointed and see more melt down and more knee jerk reactions about sacking Lampard, selling Kai, Werner turning flop ...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,358 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Does anyone really expect anything from this game? Remember how we were excited for this season and new players? If somebody told me that Chelsea with Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech and Havartz would be unwatchable I wouldn't believe it.

R2D2 368 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Would be surprised if we get anything from this game, Frank has sucked dry all enthusiasm in last few weeks, highly doubt anyone is hyped to watch us play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we’ve seen is square pegs/round holes and you expect us to be contempt with such clueless tactics? Here’s an idea, if it’s not working, change it. God forbid we see Werner on the wing and our most expensive signing ever not utilized at all. I hope Lamp 'll change his system, i don't believe in yours but if he decided to play as you 'd like and we loose because Werner and Havertz are still shit, at least it would put an end to this wrong diagnosis. Their positions on a game sheet is not the reason why they struggle. Regardind Lamp, i can't disagree with you, he's an emblematic character but a poor manager.

Special Juan 28,164 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm going to miss this due to an under 15's match and to be honest I can't actually say I am that bothered. I can't see anyway we can win this game what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I hope Lampard can finally beat a team in the top 10. This idea of only beating teams we are by far better than (quality wise) in the bottom half of the table is not sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 A positive result is far more important than a good, strong performance today. We need to keep picking up points and stay within the pack. We've shown against the likes of Man Utd, Spurs and Sevilla that we can sit in deep and defend properly. Unlike those teams though, City will play a more open, expansive game and there will be spaces to exploit on the counter. I think this is the game to play Werner as a centre forward, flanked by Pulisic and either CHO or Ziyech depending on his fitness. It might not be pretty but if we do it right this City team can be 'got at' and we do have attacking players and pace that can hurt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal repeatedly played balls over the top on Azpilicueta's side in that game. One of them resulted in a pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
