Match Day Thread FA Cup vs City

[StanDMan]

Positives - Best CB in our squad starts CB. Best RB in our squad starts RB. Best LB in our squad starts LB.
Only second time this has happened all season.

Manny has submitted his excuse already - stating 'CL' is their priority and not 'FA' cup.

No Mikel and we will walk all over City!!

Up the Blues!!

Still not happy with Mikel I see Stan.

Still not happy with Mikel I see Stan.

He may be a top lad, good team pro etc etc - but just not good enough and never fills me with confidence.
One legged Matic does more than Mikel. Should give RLC a run instead of Mikel.

Moreover, starting Matic, Fab & Mikel is not a good formation at all. Toothless.

 

[armchairblue]

Think we can nick this...... then go on and win it

 

[Super_Chelsea_Blue_Boys]

Would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons for European places that's for sure!

 

[Gareth1808]

If, as it says, they're resting Aguero Toure, Silva, and Hart then we should be winning comfortably. I'd like to see Fabregas deep again but alongside Matic and maybe Oscar in for Pedro but wouldn't change too much from the PSG game.

 

[fevriul]

Just announced the City team, sweet Jesus if we don't beat em, we should be ashamed of ourselves!

 

[george the blue]

City show no respect to us or the fans.

Hope we humilate them.

Grudgingly understand no youngster today. Tbis is our best shot of getting silverware but hope rlc and traire get a few mins in the second half

 

[Binomial]

Chelsea Team: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic (c), Baba Rahman; Fabregas, Mikel; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Diego Costa

Man City team: Caballero, Zabaleta, Adarabioyo, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernando, A.Garcia, M.Garcia, Celina, Iheanacho, Faupala

lol, pellegrini will regret this..now that i've seen that line up i hope those ****s get humilated (preferably in a replay), and again on wednesday and then we'll pick up the pieces sunday

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

These kids look quite good (in the least Adam Johnson way possible).

 

[Binomial]

pedro got white hair already :L

he must feel like he's aged quite a bit since being at chelsea

 

[Binomial]

pedro handballs it then claims a pen

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

They're probably on a few grand a week each minimum. No need to leave a 50p tip on the pitch just for scoring a goal.

 

[StanDMan]

Hope is there as long as Mikel is there - for opposition.

 

[Binomial]

willian 2-1

 

[King Ossie64]

William Pedro & Costa are brilliant as per usual. Yea 3-1 the rout begins

Think he's looked ok

Ok

 

[StanDMan]

Seriously Pedro looks sharper than Eden. Even though Eden has 2 assists.
Cahill is a better striker than defender. But poor keeping from Willy.
Cannot be complacent after 3-1 up. Need to hook Mikel to make this comfortable for us.
