Cicero Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Morata Hazard----------Pedro Alonso----------Bakayoko----Kante---------Moses Rudiger-----Christensen----Azpilicueta Courtois We approach this game with the same attitude and intensity as we did against Atletico, should be 3 points for us. Lot expected from Pedro given the rest he's had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts on Saturday we will be in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro and Moses should be causing problems on the right flank with Mendy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro and Moses should be causing problems on the right flank with Mendy out. Drinkwater should be back after the International break and give the midfield a boost for rotation. I would be tempted to start Willian ahead of Pedro, but he proved to be a better super sub rather than to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brain just switches off when we are in the final 3rd. So fucking odd for a Brasilian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think Chelsea will win, purely because I think Conte has a bit more about him tactically than Guardiola when it comes to the big games, the game on Tuesday night a prime example.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 29, 2017 A big game for us, and a big game for Shakespeare me thinks. I think we along with Everton have had the hardest set of fixtures in the league so far. But still, 4 points from 6 games isn't good enough, and you couldn't cling onto the "will beat all the middling sides" if you saw the performance away at Huddersfield. We should be going for the win in this for me. Bournemouth have started awfully and are there for the taking. We do often struggle against them though. Shakespeare needs to grow a pair and start attacking teams from the off again. I think that Arsenal game has gotten into his head a bit. We've been very negative in most of the games since. It's like the faith in our ability to attack shown in his first few games in charge has completely vanished and we wait until we're a goal or two down before really getting at them. We're becoming plucky losers. Not good enough. My hope is he goes to Bournemouth tomorrow, gets straight on the front foot at their leaky defence and gets the game won. My worry is we sit back, invite trouble, inevitably concede and then fail to come back when we finally go at them. If the latter happens then I'll concede he isn't the man, as it'll confirm Huddersfield wasn't a blip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted September 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 29, 2017 Jaded and pretty much not arsed about us at the moment. Koeman picking a team with some shape and pace might generate some enthusiasm from me but I'll believe that when I say it. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 30, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 30, 2017 Can't see City beating this Chelsea team with the current form they are in. If this game was about a month ago I'd say City wins it comfortably but not right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be banging them in from all corners of the pitch at the moment and their front line will be a massive handful for us at the back.

I think they share the same problem as you do but I have more faith in your backline than I do in theirs. It really all boils down to who dominates the midfield and lets the front-line put pressure on the oppositions backline. I peg you'll to be slightly better in that department from a defensive standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can be as focused and fluid as we were on Tuesday then it should be a cracking game, Our closing down against Atletico was excellent and more of the same for this game will be needed. If we can keep pressure on them and be as creative in front of goal as we were on Tuesday then maybe. I don't think their back line has been tested much at all yet by anyone because they are normally to busy trying to defend against their forward play. If we can mop that up we just need to be tucking away any chances that come our way and making them count.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were applying pressure in the first half of our game against them you could see cracks and I think you'll will test them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
