closed Man City 1-2 Chelsea

[chippy 342]

Go with the same team which started against RM.

They've had an extra days rest and had a much easier game midweek, especially on the mental side, so how much our lads have left in the tank for today will be crucial. 

Of course, 3 points would be absolutely massive but I'd be happy to come out of today with a point.  Sadly, can see us losing by a couple today.

If you were Abra and Pep says to you "I 'll give you this match and you give me the final", what would you do ?.

I would take the three points

 

Lol, what? CL winner automatically qualifies for next season, so top 4 becomes redundant at that point. I would gladly lose all of the remaining EPL games and FA Cup if it means we win the CL, not even a contest. I would laugh in Pep's face and not say anything.

No, lets' assume first of all there can be no cheating.
There are safety catches, since both own oil wells, tankers, marijuana valleys and they can find something.
It's a two person game.
In 2003 Saddam Hussein made the wrong decision in the two person game. He did n't want to hang, the allies should n't really want war (unless they too were fools). So the solution of the two person game was for Saddam to resign and go to Switzerland. He did n't do it.
In our case ?
But after the foxes popped out maybe no.

I am afraid for Gilmour. He couldn't control Sheffield and Fulham yet City. 

I guess this game is thrown and I'm OK with it. 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Oh if they win tonight is that their title done? Thought needed 4 points

[Pizy 18,849]

Eeesh. In a game both sides absolutely want to (and in our case kinda need to) win I don’t like the look of our XI at all. 
 

Not so confident here and am kind of scared for Billy against that midfield. I can foresee City completely starving our attack of any service. 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Big day for Billy.

[Blues Forever 1,232]

I expect draw or lose, considering Taylor is the ref.

[NikkiCFC 8,286]

City also with weird lineup. 5 defenders plus Rodri.

I dunno, Billy seems a bit like the rest of our team, shows up for the big boys and not against the underdogs. I would rather he came on at 60 mins but he isn't a complete liability. 

My biggest worry is Alonso. As anyone who pays attention to my posts knows, I am one of the more ardent supporters of Alonso. However, even I recognise he can be a liability in games where the other team are going to have a lot of the ball and have pace going forward.
