***Chelsea v City Official Match Thread***

Massive game today. Win this and Arteta and Arsenal know they are in big trouble.

And strangely enough, I am very confident about this one. More or less a full squad to pick from, except from one or two usual suspects.

Haaland will be chomping at the bit and I expect more goals from him. And this game is tailored for Cherki and Semenyo

4-0 Haaland (3) O’Reilly

Massive game affter yesterday's win for Bournemouth. All about putting our best team out. Big performance today and the pressure cranks up on the arse.

I love your positivity, Notts, and cutting into the Arse's goal difference would be great, but I'd snap your hand off for a scrappy 1-0 win right now. 3 points matter first, over any type of "good" performance. But I'd take your score, too!

Think it is already on them , an early goal on wednesday for Sporting would make it worse.

A big game for City today . Feeling confident though.

3-1 win, Haaland(2), Semenyo.

This season could very well go down to goal difference...not that I'm expecting a 3 'niller' today from us but it would help somewhat ... (-6 GD atm)

We need to make up two extra goals on top of winning, so beating Arsenal 2-0 next week will do the trick (along with winning the games in hand)

One of those Sliding Doors moments, where we either go on an invincible run like the Pellegrini season, or we have yet another tame draw and blow it again

On the plus side we are on form, Pep normally finishes well and Chelsea will try and attack, the fools. We struggle against bus parkers, who then score the inevitable breakaway.

I'm going for the scrappy one nil win

Or last game vs Chelsea when they were in terrible form without a managerwas horrendous but we are finally looking good again now so who know. 1-0 sounds about right as long as Pep picks the obvious in form players

Was that the 1-1 game when they equalised in 92nd minute? Thought we were bad in that game, could be wrong, what I am concerned about is the self appointed genius having one of his infamous brain farts or to put it more accurately a complete fuck up. City have the wherewithal to win this game & no Pep excuses about midweek “minutes” either, so come on City sock it to em.

Big big game today, after bournemouth winning against arsenal, but it will mean nothing unless we put a performance in today .

[CTID Hants]

Last time we lost these was in 21 when rudiger stoved in KDBs face.....

[CTID Hants]

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Semenyo, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Reijnders, Ake, Marmoush, Kovacic, Nico, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Foden

[john@staustell]

Right team again. So far so good

[CTID Hants]

Pep's suspension is done now isnt it?

[Slim]

Bernie needs to avoid a yellow or he'll miss the ChokersFC game.

[sheblue]

Quietly confident.
That is our strongest team.

Hope to God someone has pointed that out to him!!

That’s what I think, although my quietly maybe more quieter

[carl_feedthegoat]

Nearly choked on my earls grey as soon as I read the team sheet out .....perfect team starts once again !
