On sky speaking about playing a weakened team Sunday

Wants the FA to change the game to sat

FA can't so he says no option but to play weaker team

we should be able to pass them to death but we must be on our game to do so.

Will it be (Option 1) Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz and Azpi, or will it be (Option 2) Azpi, Ivanovic, Cahill and Cole?


would expect

schwarzer
option 1 or 2
mikel matic
salah lampard schurlle
torres

I know it sounds mad but I would rather they played their strongest team we play to our best when up against it

It won't matter what he says, he'll have a plan for us, that's for sure. I really hope that we take nothing for granted. Some on here are predicting we'll smash them but I can't see it. The nerves will be like nothing our players will have known.

A grubby victory of any sort will do me. One point would still keep it in our hands. I'd take that now. City would need to win all their games to force it to the wire.

was just thinking this myself, option 1 with the rest as is will probably be it

Lampard is in-eligable for the second leg same as Mikel. So both are bound to play.

Either way, I fancy us with their two best defensive players out. Hopefully our forwards will have some fun.

Things might be easier without Chec and Terry but they still have a decent team who will be coming with a plan. To win the title we should be able to at least draw and the tactical nous of BR will be crucial. BR doesn't really change his team to adapt, may be because he doesn't have a lot of options while Mourinho does it a lot, like bringing on an attacker until his team scores, then changing immediately bringing on a defender.

At the end of the day I think it will boil down to whether Jose's plan works or not as I think we will play our usual game. The 2 players I am afraid of are Luiz and Matic who will be trying to cut our midfield, leaving our attackers without the ball. Would have loved to have Reina with his long passes.

so true.even in the worst of seasons and form,we seem to be much better against these big boys.

a draw wouldn't be the worst result in the world.

His only plan is to park the bus! How will this work when they need to beat us to win the league? His ego won't let him give up on that.
