Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[mccity]

Jesus didn't score at Stamford Bridge last season for what it's worth, and we still won if I recall.

It doesn't have to he working for any player individually, that is the whole point of the way we operate. English football has lagged behind because of its obsession with individuals and personalities, forcing managers to shoehorn players in to their teams. Jesus brings huge quality to the whole team performance and our record with him playing is exemplary.

Think we have lost one game he has been involved in over 50 odd.

I think he has been a solid contributor this season when played and yes he would be the first to agree he would like to and needs to score more goals than he has in very recent times.

Its like the attack on Gundy and others by those who want every player to be all things to them for every second they are on the pitch as opposed to what they do for the team.

Out current goal differential we haven't seen in the top flight since the 19th century when their were fewer teams and a completely different structure.

Its high time these individuals focus on facts , results , actual contribution and role play something which Gundy was asked to do against Watford and did it well for 24 minutes on Tuesday.

Can’t loose this one,need to be ahead of Liverpool,before we play them.Think defence is Chelseas biggest weakpoint,so we need to attack and make them work.Pretty confident for another 3 points.

Without him is great too.

He needs to sort out his form as it's incredibly average at the moment and has been for a while.

They are good but they are not that good.

Their keeper can be iffy at times, their centre backs aren’t the quickest or brightest and they would swap Morata for Jesus in a heartbeat

Having said all that, they can still be very dangerous. Hazard is brilliant, Giroud is a threat of set pieces and Fabregas can still pass

I really think that if people do not see his quality they either;

1 Do not go to the match , therefore cannot appreciate his movement which is the best, and exactly what pep desires. More difficult to see it on a screen.

2 Don't really get football.

If Aguero is fit I’d still prefer him to Jesus right now. But I have absolutely no calms if Jesus starts. I agree he is a real team player and his goals will come sooner or later.
We should be able to continue our unbeaten run and keep pressuring Liverpool.
Chelsea suffers a bit as it is so we should take advantage. Despite the big players we tend to miss. I hope City will ‘oh’ and ‘ah’ me again like last year in this fixture.

Exactly. Perfectly put. A front 3 of Jesus, Sané & Sterling have pretty much won every game they’ve started together.
