Man City Match Thread

Thought i'd get started since we don't have one.

I think we'll go

Cech
Iva - Cahill - JT - Azpi
Rami - Mikel - Lampard
Oscar - Eto'o - Hazard

I'd prefer Matic to start though and maybe Cole at LB with Azpi switched across but we know the latter wont happen.

I think we'll play on the counter and fancy us for a draw. Glad they're missing Aguero as Dzeko and Negredo play how JT and Cahill would want IMO. Unless they start Jovetic and i'll be honest not seen much of him so unfair to comment.

If we go to win then of course it will be an excellent game but i fancy them to edge it.

Anybody got any thoughts/predictions?

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany DeMichellis Clichy
Fernandinho yaya
Navas Negredo Silva
Dzeko

How I expect us to line up

Now off to the match

Got a free bet on Hazard first goal. Hoping the bus has been left in the car park.

Amazing atmosphere. Best in Prem up there. How good is Hazard so far

A class above everyone else on the pitch except Yaya.
Ivan not too shabby either !!!!! Well deserved, we have worked for that.
Not sure about Azpi, Cole gives us much more on the left, stubborn stubborn Jose.

wow entire team performance is impeccable - except for finishing from our attacking players..
doesn't matter who the opposition is our quality in finishing great opportunities is s#!t.

perhaps they should learn from Ivan!

Where's this bus then? We've absolutely bossed it since they missed their two key chances early on, but I feel not taking our own chances will end up being our own downfall.

. You just know it will.

We could easily be 3 up, but then again they should've put that Silva chance away. They'll be out of the blocks this half too.

A striker, a striker, RAs' kingdom for a striker !!!!
Seriously , even though were still only half done with our rebuilding, with a decent striker we would be a very serious challenger.

Wish the Ramires chance had fallen to Hazard.

 

[CPofL KTBFFH]

Shooot Hazard arghhhhhhh

 

[StanDMan]

goodness me - what a hit from Matic.. Essien would be proud of that... Mikel who?

 

[CFC: Champs £launderx17]

Just hit the woodwork again. And that four-on-one too.

Briliant tactics from Jose even if City come back. Dropping Oscar!!

God, we will be powerful if we get a couple of strikers next season.

City have Aguero out, play two excellent strikers and can bring on Jovetic

 

[Chelsea Pensioner]

Wish the Ramires chance had fallen to Hazard.

Ramires causes hair loss !!!! Does so many good things, ****s up so many easy things.

 

[EatMyHole]

How the **** is that not a red? We were away!!

 

[EatMyHole]

What a performance from the whole team, everyone were terrific!! I going to say it the performance of champions!!

 

[Chelsea Pensioner]

Well done to everyone. Cudos to Hazard, Cahill and Cech.
Willian just needs to improve passing, but gets better.
Everyone was tremendous and had the look of the Joses Chelsea of old. And we left the bus at home !!!

 

[Varier2]

Perfect performance. Mourinho does it again.

 

[Bodinki]

Great performance and an immense result in terms of morale and belief.
