The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

I think the Chelsea CB's will cope fine with Dzeko and Negredo, if City are going to win they'll need Silva, Navas and Toure offering more up top.

[FLiam]

Chelsea are ridiculously good at counter attacking. Don't think I've seen a team pick their moments as well as they do.

[MJB]

City look a shambles at the back. Either that or Chelsea look awesome going forward.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Bit of both. Kompany and Nastasic aren't on the same page. Hazard is impossible to play against.

Our bench isn't looking so great either, just Jovetic and Lopes to look forward to.

You need some serious investment!

In case there's doubt: any chant of "Boring boring Chelsea!" you might hear on TV is most definitely coming from us.

[brenchill]

Thing is, I think even if Chelsea win this game, they are more likely than City to drop points over the course of the season.

[FLiam]

If City lose.

Crisis begins.

[Cheeky Hughes]

If City lose.

Crisis begins.

Well in that case I may as well get the Pellegrini Out sign ready! >_>

[brenchill]

Not a chance.

Win, lose or draw today, I think they'll carry on blitzing everybody else until the end of the season.

Do it. If they lose, broken badges on some back pages tomorrow.

We have a culture these days that a club has to win every single football match, or fans and media get the knives out.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Chelsea sure are parking the bus aren't they

[MJB]

Demichelis took out his own man

Chelsea have to grab a second here or they'll regret it later on.

[brenchill]

When was the last time City didn't score?

[FLiam]

Jesus, Matic.

[MJB]

The last time they failed to score at home in the league was over three years ago (vs. Birmingham in 2010)

What a strike from Matic!

[Baddar]

Just FYI brench, MJB didn't just pull a jth, they mentioned that stat earlier.

City will be lucky to get anything from this. They need a reckless challenge from Luiz to hand them a penalty at the mo.

You've ruined his moment!

[FLiam]

The woodwork is saving City here.

But it doesn't make me look such a geek. It's fine.
