***Official City v Chelsea*** Thread

Would have had AJ on for Milner myself, and we prob will see Boatang on half time.

Off to pub!

COME ON CITY!!!

[Green & Blue]

I KNOW WE HAVE INJURIES. But that line up is poor. Fuck knows how we are going to line up. The ball needs to be kept on the ground - no doubt.

Its a very strong side bar Zaba and Boyata and neither would be playing except for all the injured defenders at the moment.

Tevez was just interviewed on Football Focus on the Beeb, complete with his new haircut.

What's the lineup then?

[Dameerto]

What's the lineup then?

It's on the match centre on the official site mate - Zabs at leftback, Boyata at rightback, they have us as a 4-5-1 if it's true (Milner left, Silva right) - although it could just as easily be a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-1-1 with the same lineup.

[ScapeGoat]

Hope Silva has a good game, would be a perfect day for him to get into form

[Crossie]

4-4-1-1 I reckon, Silva behind Tevez.

Its the full backs I worried about, I just hope the 3 defensive mids can cover the holes at full back

COME ON CITY!

[deacon]

Generating some decent pressure so far.

[CityGer]

Silva's workinng his socks off.

[kinkylola]

we've looked up for it so far ... some great overlapping runs and some great passing.

... i mean ... TOO NEGATIVE

[xavi6]

Same shit with us putting in crosses to no one. Really frustrating.

[Green & Blue]

Toure playing very well so far

[xavi6]

And there's the token moment of stupidity from Zabaleta

[kinkylola]

and there's zabba

[Dameerto]

Sky were just highlighting Boyata's bodycheck on Drogba, I love it.

[petrov]

we could do with half time now.

[mr_nool]

I still think we need some one taller then 5 foot 2 up front ...

Boyata's got a good football brain for being so young and inexperienced. I like the lad.

[ryanmjo]

Milner's been incredibly poor.

[Burt]

Anyone got the sopcast code number?
