Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

Hazard plays off the left wing.

beat me to it. also Danilo is a good right back and could be a good shout against left sided Hazard.



Danilo has been crap when played on the left by the way.

We have one of the world's best defenders in Danilo so why not try him at left back? He could do a man-on-man job on Hazard. Just a thought as Delph did not look in the best of defensive form at Watford.

Hazard plays mainly on the left and cuts inside a lot. Walker, Stones and whoever plays right midfield and wingback (I assume Bernie and Sterling) will need to be on their toes. We need to gang up on him to keep him quiet.

Danilo has played left back for us and he’s fine there except when he gets forward he has to get the ball on his right foot to cross it which causes a loss of momentum.

Any word on Sergio ?

Anyone worried about this game (or even liverpool's challenge long term), rewatch episode 8 of the amazon documentary again, it'll cure your worries.

For most of those games we were already champions, how Pep motivates them to do more is just brilliant, I'll be very surprised if he can't motivate them to win (or at least draw) this game.

What a man, truly incredible.

Blind Pugh in charge. Or Mr Oliver.

Oliver is the bottler it's Marriner who is blind.

Agreed,in fact after his one mistake i think we should sell him in January.

I'd just release him right now.

 

[Pigeonho]

I'd just release him right now.

And take all his medals off him for being so shit.

Anyway.

Chelsea 0 3 City. Silva will boss this game.

This game is the toughest one remaining and its only December ! Avoiding defeat would be acceptable , we will still be top of the pile , (or joint top in Dipper speak) but if we give the Chavs a proper good hiding , it will send the biggest message yet to the Dippers.

If you mean toughest because of their league standing I would agree, but there will always be tougher games as we approach spring
