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

Postby nottsblue » Sun Jan 04, 2026 12:40 am

Probably a must win game. All games are important but with Arsenal 5 points in front and games coming twice a week we don’t want to get too far behind

Chelsea are potentially in disarray following Maresca’s sacking and we should take the initiative and get the game going early and seize control. Haaland owes us a performance after his shitshow at Sunderland. I wonder whether the 150 landmark is on his mind?

Be interesting to see whether Nico G will be fit or whether Rodri is ready to start. Looked somewhat back to his old self v Sunderland

Confident as I write

4-0 Haaland (2) Foden Doku

Do you have a selection?

3 - 1 to City

What has happened to Philips?

We won’t even be able to give him away, let alone sell him

Wonder if he even bothers to train anymore

Khus should go on loan.

Exactly. What would happen if Nunes got injured?

He'd likely play Lewis there, knowing Pep.

How is the kid supposed to get used to the league if he's not playing at all?

Not sure he’d play Lewis there. He’s had his chance as RB and isn’t good enough

Mase, you learned your lesson with McAtee, you learned your lesson with Bobb. Lewis, whilst half decent as a fill in midfielder, cannot play fuckin right back! :D :D
