what to make of the team for City? Like Jose, we don't have a lot of options so here's my 2 bobs worth Not Courtois Ivan. Zouma Terry Dave Fabregas. Matic Oscar Willian. Costa. Hazard
It will take another masterclass from Jose to get us over the line for this one I reckon. They say to ignore first week results, so happy to do that. After a week of Jose created problems, it will be interesting to see him earn his salary and put out a team to win the game. Thats his genius. It's time to stop blaming everyone except himself and do his job. Players really need to put in as well, and hoping for a drastic lift in form.
Asmir Ivan. Cahill Terry Dave Zouma. Matic Fabregas (Oscar) Willian. Costa. Hazard I think this might be his selection.
Hart Sagna Kompany Mangala Kolorov Fernandinho yaya Navas silva sterling Aguero Sagna played really well at WBA so think he'll keep Zabaleta out,only change from the hawthorns will be Aguero for Bony I think
Probably. I've just sat here for a year trying to work it out. I mean he must be good at something to get in City's team regularly and have plenty of Spain caps but I've never seen it.
Only asked because I saw the exact same statement made near the start of last season, no idea who posted it though
Honestly can't call this one. I don't think City 1 Chelsea 3 would suprise me and I dont think City 3 Chelsea 1 would. Who am I kidding though we will defend in our half and shut out the game. 1-1 at best.
You could be right, this match so early in the season could do anything. Reckon Jose will have had the odd quiet word with his spluttering charges during the week and cant believe they will be as lethargic as last week. Yaya will brain our midfield unless Fabregas plays out of his skin. If Matic has to spend all the game keeping Yaya under control, then our back 4 will know they have been in a match. Young Zouma might be needed for his power and pace, wouldnt be surprised to see Jose play him and Matic in midfield and leave out Oscar. Anyway, not long to go and everything will be revealed. Suspect Jose had a poor nights sleep after his spectacular own goal last week. This is his big chance to show everyone what is is the best at, motivation and tactics. I'm hoping for a 1-0 win to us.
We have very good chance to better last season. BUT If Jose persists with JT & Cahill for more than 23% of matches we will not ANYTHING!! It is like watching Lamps + Mikel partnership from 2 years ago!!
