I watched Chelsea against Atletico on Wednesday; I was impressed by that performance. Atletico is not an easy place to go and get a result. They didn't give Atletico any time on the Ball, harassed them all night, Chelsea quick counter attacking caused them all sorts of problems.
I expect they will try and do us on the break today.
Ironically i think Aguero might have been benched today because of our need for good Ball retention starting from the front, we will try not unnecessarily losing it to fuel Chelsea quick counters. Most likely we will play with a false Number 9.
Bernado Silva if selected needs to do a little bit better when in possession of the Ball. Great player with excellent vision that can ping a cracking Pass, but also loses the Ball a lot, I have seen Guardiola having a go at him for losing possession whilst not really under pressure.
I don’t think today result will have any real bearing on our season, other than psychologically. We win, excellent, 3 points we never had pencilled in to start with. We lose, Chelsea are still behind us in the League. We are not going to win every game this season. We have had a pretty difficult start compared to the RAGS. Regardless of today result we will have not done to bad with a lot of winnable games coming up. And already have played Liverpool/Chelsea and its only September.
I fancy a high scoring draw today. 3 - 3.I think set pieces will cause us problems I see Morata scoring 1 or 2.
Good news is I am Dog Shit at predictions. I haven’t got one right for about 4 years,
