Chavs v Man City Official match thread

[blues2win]

Walker and Jesus should be back in training tomorrow if they have no ill effects from Covid.

[PeterParker]

It's not like Laporte was playing.

Anyway. Are we one up yet?

[FA cup winners 2006]

Oh God. Where are the goals supposed to come from that team. Corners and set pieces?

Corners?

You must've missed most of our games in the few years!! Seriously though, the goals front come from set pieces. I've berated us enough about that over the years

Don't worry, it was sarcastic. The goals certainly aren't coming from a front 3 of Sterling Foden and Silva. KDB will have to get out of his rut for us to get anything from this game

[PrezIke]

Laporte has a minor hamstring injury apparently.

Yeah, he got COVID in September.

Ederson is out with Covid-19, so the American goalkeeper Zack Steffen will make his Premier League debut for Manchester City.

Nathan Ake, Ferran Torres, Aymeric Laporte, Eric Garcia, Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus and Tommy Doyle are also missing from the squad.

Ake and Laporte are injured; the rest have tested positive for Covid.

[PrezIke]

I'd say we came out not as badly as it could have been in terms of who is out.

Sorry for them and the team as it's definitely not ideal.

Yet, Garcia is already off to Bara whilst no Laporte nor Ake, nor Walker really is not ideal Stones and Dias are our best partnership and will get more time.

Will be a chance for the Zinch to either prove his value once again or increase his transfer value as we know other clubs are interested.

Maybe we see a Harwood-Bells, or Mbete sighting who are certainly intriguing centre halves for the future.

[Sparklehorse]

This game is very important, we get three points here and we will be on a roll !!

[PrezIke]

COME ON CITY!

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

hoping for a win but take a draw with this game and players out
talking to my mate who is a chelsea fan thinks we could do them if they play as they did against arsenal

[nottsblue]

Any old win please Blues. Dont care how

We can win this.

Chelsea are not in good form overall and Lampard under pressure to the point he threw players under the bus and they only got a draw the next game against Villa.

WTAF goalie

[stevefromdonny]

fuck me, just boot it away not pick it up when its a back pass, at least we blocked it

[Harry Dowd scored]

Nervy start for me

[ayrshireblue]

WTAF goalie

Was never a back pass though. A challenge in the centre circle and the ball goes back to the keeper and Taylor can't wait to give something against City.

[Dubciteh]

Shambles from steffan, schoolboy wouldnt even do that. Tuned out on his premier league debut within five mins. Awful

[Woodyblue]

WTAF goalie

To be fair it’s his first game in the premier league and obviously doesn’t understand the rules yet.
The fuckin buffoon

It was clearly a back pass

[PeterParker]

Did we touch the ball yet?

Of course it was a back pass. It came from our player passing it to the goalie as it wasn't near another City player. I know what you mean about distance though, but the intent was there.

Other way round and I want that all day long
