Shall we just forfeit the game now. We don’t stand a chance. Maybe cause a power cut just before the players arrive so we don’t play😉.

If Manchester City can hold into their lead against Chelsea, it will mean they can wrap up the title at our place next week. Does this give them extra incentive to put on a bit of a show, or will it give us some extra impetus to wreck their party while claiming something in our own fight with relegation?
I’m going for an optimistic, party-wrecking 1-0 win for us. Would be some way to turn a corner and gather some momentum for the massive task at hand.

The can’t win the title next Monday no matter what happens. Might provide us a bit of relief as it’d reduce the chances of us getting anything to almost zero.

Aguero is guaranteed to score his 200th Man City goal next week, of that I’m certain.

I thought it was 5 more wins??
We could do with getting a man sent off In the first half.

Even if The Shit don't win their game in hand Man City are only 18 points ahead with 27 points still left to play. They cannot win the title next Monday. As it stands they need to win 4 more games.

Need to batten down the hatches and don't let them get through us through the middle. They struggled to break down both Newcastle and Huddersfield away, and we can do the same if we're organised and committed.

In fairness as much of the ball as they had against Chelsea they weren't exactly peppering their goal were they. How many saves did Courtois have to make? I can't remember any proper ones. And the goal they scored, whilst well worked was a spawny misskick which he'd have saved if he'd hit it right. Chelsea very nearly bored their way to a point. We could do that.

Apparently I had a bit to much bourbon last night and decided this morning that their are only 7 games left to play. Can’t really blame for for wanting this season to be over as quickly as possible 😄 I’m still sticking with a completely implausible 1-0 win for us, based on nowt but the never ending hope that we’ll somehow dig ourselves out of the shit.

Very few teams have shown how to play Man City. And that's to attack them
Which ofcourse is going to leave you open to a spanking. But, given hard work and 11 heroic performances, it can be done.
If we do what Chelsea did we will get destroyed.
I still can't believe how Conte who's paid thousands of pounds decided to set up like he did. Embarrassing!
I really hope that we play them, we press them and we keep it tight at the back and hit them with an on form Shaq and Jese going forward.
Not a fan of Crouch normally as he slows us down, but given the game, is it best to go with him to hold it up and bring Jese and Shaq in? They've shown they're not the best when teams attack them. (Granted it's hard to do that cause you don't get the ball much)
Or do we go with Diouf to press them and win what he can?
Or even Mr Instagram himself up top? Choupo has been poor of late and I'm dying to have Jese play from the start
We need another Arsenal'esq performance from the start of the season.

I'm looking forward to it about as much as I'm looking forward to the next time I shit myself in public. Pisser. By "next time" are you implying that it's happened before?

I'd play Ramadan,Shaqiri & Jese as a front three and play on the break.
It's a nigh on impossible task mind.

I can see that side, but after watching Chelsea today and their lack of doing anything with the likes of hazard up there, I think crouch might be a good option. Something different that they don't like. And up and at them approach. I think we'll have plenty of desperate clearances out of defence and we'll need an outlet to try hold it up and draw fouls maybe to relieve pressure. Whichever way we go it's going be bloody tough going, but I just think one player their defence won't want to play against out of all of ours is crouch.

Sadly there are eleven of their players we won't like playing. We could put in the best performance of the last ten years and still get well beaten.

Butland Bauer Zouma BMI Pieters Shaq Allen Badou Cameron Stafy Jese
Stay in the game as long as possible and don't let them play between the lines. Swap Jese when he starts puking Swap Stafy for Chupo after half time or if they score Campbell on if we are still in it after an hour
Bench Haugaard, Crouch, Campbell, Chouopo, Shawcross
