Cicero Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think Tuchel will go prime Mourinho here with a "We cannot lose" mindset. With none of our attackers, bar Lukaku, really up to speed, think we will favor a midfield heavy team considering Kante, Kovacic, and Jorginho have been excellent. A win here could set things up nicely for us given our easy run of fixtures coming up.

MUFC Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Feel like City are due a win over Chelsea. Have a question. Who would from Peps City team which got the points total record vs Joses Chelsea side in his first spell. The team with Drogba, Essien and co.

Happy Blue Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Chelsea have been a tough nut to crack recently and we have a mini injury crisis, not confident would take a point now .. these are the games you need a world class striker like Aguero for, instead we will have a winger upfront or maybe even Foden ..6 out, Gundogan, Rodrigo, Laporte, Stones, Zinc (yay) & Mendy ..think the team will be like this on less Pep goes crazy again! Ederson Walker - Dias - Ake - Cancelo De Bruyne - Fernandinho - Bernardo Mahrez - Torres - Greelish BENCH:-Steffen, EDS?, EDS?, Palmer, Foden, Sterling, Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You would think given our form and City's hit and miss form that we are ideally set up to take the points especially playing at home but I would be surprised if we could beat you again, I fully expect City to be well up for this and it could be one of those games where we implode or something silly as we do have them from time to time.. Games like this and Liverpool are the games where I expect us to drop points so hoping for the win obviously but think this will be a draw.. Worse case we lose but then go on to have a few games where we could make that ground up so let's see what happens.. Need another really solid display to take all the points...

I don't trust Ake, Laporte would of been a better option and Fernandinho has looked over the hill recently so Gundogan & Rodrigo missing too could prove costly and the lack of a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Rodrigo and Laporte play injured, bit risky and a smack in the face to Fernadinho & Ake Todays team, bit surprising with Foden playing deeper and no Mahrez in the starting line up, 2 EDS players on the bench, Jesus gets the nod over Torres. most this team has just got over an injury or still not 100% ..maybe Foden is playing on the right and Bernardo deeper Ederson Walker - Dias - Laporte - Cancelo De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Foden Bernardo - Jesus - Greelish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted September 25, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2021 As good as this defensive Chelsea set up has been, if a team like Southampton or Newcastle set up this defensively they'd be criticised for it and 'not having a go at City'.

Especially odd when you think that Newcastle are well set up to counter with St Maximin, and Chelsea have the second fattest striker in their history (behind Higuain) and turbo timo. The man who gives the ball away at turbo speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may end up being effective, but the quality in their first 11 matches this City team so I think it’s a bit cowardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
