Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[aguero93:20]

@aguero93:20 The witch doctor just got back to me indicating they require an additional payment to ensure David Luiz starts tomorrow.

I have decided to give them my first born son, which I feel is a fair trade.

What about Morata?

Keep Hazard quiet and we win.

What about Morata?

That would require my wife, three sheep, a small chest of silver, and a vile of Joey Barton’s tears.

It was the last bit that proved the dealbreaker.

Ask about a minor injury for Giroud, might be cheaper.

I tried to get a package of David Luiz starting, Giroud injured, and Danny Drinkwater coming on in the 70th minute to “turn things round”, but they replied with...

It was a bit odd they had it at the ready — perhaps I went to the wrong purveyor of voodoo magic.

I feel confident enough to rest D. Silva and Fern for this game. :)

People do wind-ups saying they'd accept a draw or expect to lose but this one - resting Silva - takes the biscuit, in fact a whole packet of McVities.

I'd rather rest Silva than Dinho.

Two custard creams for this effort.

This could be our toughest match so far in terms of mentality. We are probably going to be behind Liverpool at kick off and having to win at Stamford Bridge is a tough ask. I would also expect a reaction from them after the Wolves match.

That said we are the best side in the league but we have to be more clinical. We’ve missed a number in chances in the last 2 matches that should have made Saturday and Tuesday a lot more comfortable than they were.

I think it’s as simple as we win if we deny Hazard possession and take our chances.

Chelsea are under serious pressure as well though, they need to win or they could be out of the title race and looking up at spurs and Arsenal from 5th.
