I think it's the best draw for us all things considered.
We could play this new Chelsea system 10 times and we would lose every time. When teams allow them to, Chelsea give a masterclass of counter attacking football and coming up against an overcommitting tactically-naive team like ours would put us on a hiding to nothing.
In City, we have a team that also wants to play football and leave spaces. Not to mention we will be playing them on the massive Wembley pitch and their defence is just as weak as ours at times. If we take our chances and make the quality of Alexis and Özil count, it's possible that we win this tie.
I also can't believe that they haven't paid for having Yaya Toure as a single midfield pivot yet. Surely Arsène would focus on that and press the living **** out of their midfield? I'm joking, obviously.
