*** chelsea vs City FA Cup semi Official match thread***

[Dameerto]

Treat it like a cup final, never mind a semi. Represent the City at Wembley (like we used to do in times gone by).

Crap, just noticed Mendy starting - I hope he's up for it.

DISGUSTING line up by the bald catalan - 8 Fuckign changes ??? really ???

We wont win today with that line up ( Unless someone sprinkles miracle dust over some of the inept cunts in that line up before kick off )..no fuckign way should Mendy be anywhere near our team and once again Baldie playing out of form players even though he came out with a barrel of lies about only playing players on form.

He must be the biggest liar out of all the managers in England.

Run.....stop...pass backwards...play it safe..offer nothing upfront and a liability in defense.
There you go...pre match analysis there for you.

Strong Chelsea team.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Looking at the Chelsea team, Thiago Silva could be a weak link, if he is up against pace he resorts to fouling, if he gets early yellow he could end up with a red

Lol. You missed out...mis-read an easy high ball...let it bounce...jockey for no reason...flail arms as player waltzes around you...spoon cross wildly over the bar...

Should not, in any circumstances up to and including an injury crisis, be anywhere close to pulling on a City shirt again.

The only silver lining is the bench. I mean, fucking wow. Of course, three or four of them should be starting, but that’s done with. We have arguably the best bench in world football today with plenty of game changers on there

[PeterParker]

Imagine we win this with this lineup

[sheblue]

That front 3 will need to have the game of their lives.

That's the bit that worries me.

5 subs allowed?

Irrelevant even if they were. Our first will be on 75mins

So it's 3? And your point is fair. Sometimes we see movement at 60 mins.

This is irritating, really screwed up my confidence.

I think it’s 3 but I wouldn’t swear on it. Though if it is I think you can make another one should the match go to extra time

Bit underwhelmed with this line up. Looks like he's trying to make sure of the league which is understandable I suppose?

[Harry Dowd scored]

5 subs allowed?

Yes five subs, but can’t remember Pep ever using many subs, or for that matter subs that affected the game, for example the fact we very rarely come from behind to win.

[nottsblue]

Just flicked on the coverage. Turns out the inclusion of Mendy isn’t the daftest thing this afternoon

Micahs hair has took that award. Doesn’t he have a mirror in his house?

[CTID Hants]

Odd us being at Wembley without Sergio there

[Dameerto]

I'm worried about Kante.
