Chelsea (H) - Sat 15th Jan, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Jesus H Gabz]

To be fair to Tuchel he’s gone on the attack, he said as much yesterday & Pep acknowledged this in his presser, but this is the home of the champions & we could blow them away in the first half if they get too gung-ho

Tuchel's bench today:


Remember him complaining about Chelsea's depth?

Don't know how he does it on a shoe-string budget.

Do all germans moan while wanking too ?

 

[wolviedinho]

Chelsea will try to overrun midfield and squeeze our link up play from defence. Good to see John back, he will help us avoid their game plan.

Maybe I am being pessimistic but can only see a draw today. Great run has to come to an end. A defeat opens up the title race slightly.

 

[Burtonblue]

No Dias is a concern. No real leadership at the back.
Chelsea back in form.
Really difficult game this.
I fear a scrappy Chelsea 1-0 win.
Ziyech has a good record against us.

Flap flap flap……..







I trust Pep knows what he’s doing

Apparantly they have more covid and injuries than we do , him and klopp are a match made in heaven

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Going to be a battle today this. Playing at home so hope that gives us the edge, but a point would be fine too

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Why does Pep always fuck about? Dias has to start in these games, he's the only leader at the back. We're vulnerable now.

 

[paulchapo]

For all the whining from Tuchel that is a very strong side.

 

[jimharri]

What's with Dias; Covid, or injured?

Why is he fucking about? He sees them all every day and who is best placed against this particular opponent

 

[SamTheGuru]

Question....under current restrictions with Boris; does being on the bench count as isolating?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Dias cant play every game,a shame,especially in such a fixture where leadership and aggression is required - id hope its a genuine reason.

On the plus,it provides an opportunity for Laporte to show he can defend...because with the KDB/Bernardo combo he's gonna have to do plenty.

 

[wolviedinho]

What's with Dias; Covid, or injured?

Maybe he needs a rest. Now John is back he can sit this 1 out. Shame as I would rather have Dias than Laporte.

Course it is,he's a terminal ****.

 

[Newman Noggs]

The only thing I'll guarantee about today's game is that, if we win, there will be huge controversy across the media about some aspect of our win. Can't wait.

Not always where Chelsea are concerned.

Are German managers hypocrites by nature ?

Only if you are accompanied by a suitcase full of booze.

 

[jollylescott]

For all the whining from Tuchel that is a very strong side.

Yes he’s trying to catch us off guard with all his moaning.
