Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[waspish]

Get the feeling this game could have a similar impact (depending who wins unless a draw of course)to last seasons game at the etihad regards the league just gives that team a massive boost,hopefully we get a reverse of the game at the etihad with us winning it 3.1 this time..

Yep and if we get a referee that favours us like the one last season did for Chelsea we will win it 0-5

If we play as we have I fancy us to beat Chelsea,but only if the ref doesn’t try to fuck us over ...

maybe Hazard won't start Saturday since he's making his first start tonight.

 

[Jazzcat]

It will be a significant test if they turn up like they're doing tonight.

 

[kaz7]

Keeping them busy is the key,can we do fast tempo these days and not just in the 2nd half?

Is Sideshow Bob suspended for our game?

Is Sideshow Bob suspended for our game?

Yes

 

[Mike N]

Yes

Thanks!

 

[kaz7]

Thanks!

He'd probably get sergio sent off so it's good he is out

 

[Octamali]

We have a poor record at the Bridge so would take a draw. Hope both teams keep 11 on the pitch & there's no dubious decisions. We are not going to dominate every game so would like to see us grind a result out.

They'll probably put a curly wig on Cahill to see if Serio will bite.

Poll added now.

Won away at atletico, hope it's taken it out of them!

 

[Mancityus]

We will beat them this week. Will bring these sneaky cheats down to earth after today's high in Champions league.

surely our record there the last 5 or so league trips is better than anyone else's? 2 wins and a draw off the top of my head.

 

[Chrisdunk]

They have a very good team. I'd take a point to be honest.

 

[domalino]

Big bonus for us that they had Atletico tonight.

1 days less rest, and they were pushed all the way, they'll have to fly back and probably miss a day's training because of that too.

Could have a big impact, although we could have done without them winning.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

not looking forward to this.

It's about time we stepped up and put them in their place behind us for the foreseeable future, but unfortunately we're prone to playing within ourselves when it matters and slipping up to hand them the league and psychological initiative.

I'd like us to finally get the monkey of our backs and go there, dominate and thrash them.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Can see hazard running riot, he’s looks so dangerous behind a striker. I think matching their formation is our best bet.

 

[RandomJ]

Good test to see if we're the real deal this season.
