***City vs Chelsea official passive aggresive Match thread**

[Mase]

No Carson on the bench. I hope he’s okay.

[Kippax Sean]

Stones laporte Sterling and Grealish need to step up, no concerns with the team otherwise.

Only concern with nearly half of it then

Yes, Sterling is more miss that hit, Grealish hasnt got out of 3rd gear yet and stones and laporte and nowhere near Dias and Ake. So a slight concern imo.

[Beefymcfc]

This week I read something where it said City don’t play many English players, how do journo’s get away with gash.

Probably get the same bollocks with BT, it’ll all be about Chelsea.

You mean Sterling who just got given Premier League player of the month for December?

Agreed on Grealish, he needs to make this game the one he announces his arrival (finally).

Without Mendy between the sticks we need to try a few decent shots from outside the box instead of trying to walk it in as per usual.

If Rodri does his job the CB's should be OK, after all both play as first choice for their respective countries

[Mase]

Wonder what is wrong with Ake

Was only joking, mate. Just the thought that you had no real concerns yet so many.

Sterling deserves player of the month, his best run of games in 2 years but he could be so much better if his final touch or shot matched the rest of his game. Against the top teams like chavs the small fuckups can be the difference.

big game heart rate up no fingernails. You know the craic.

[PeterParker]

Still think Sterling is beyond shit, but isn't Chelsea one of his favorite clients?
I think they and Arse are the clubs he scored the most against?

[sheblue]

Dias on the bench is a really strange one.

[Dameerto]

No Ruby.
Fuck.

Is he just back from injury? Or maybe he's one of the former covid cases... That's worthy of a Carl rant otherwise.

Hes on the bench and if hes fit then he should be ahead of Stones....what I will never understand is why the manager plays him in a major game like this when he hasn't played a game in weeks.

The 5 starting today could realistically be playing for England in the world cup final in December

Let’s get 3 points that’s all. It’s brass monkeys x

[gmercer1]

Would have preferred Dias against Lukaku. He will bully Laporte

[Dameerto]

I still wish we'd signed Kante when he left Leicester.

[gmercer1]

Why do we always have someone who had played for the opposition as a commentator

[mr_nool]

I still wish we'd signed Kante when he left Leicester.

He would've been perfect for us i reckon.

Pep has asked for privacy, so it’s probably best not to speculate RE: COVID cases.

[Dameerto]

Give it a rest you knobhead.
