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

It'll be a tough game, they look ike they're regaining some form and we've looked a bit off it recently, even if we have got the results.

We played Arsenal with an extra game in our legs so I am discounting that performance.

Do you expect us to be as ‘front foot’ as usual, or are you speculating we might ‘sit back’ a bit & play the safer percentages, cos a draw would be ok for us?
That’s not what I think we’ll do, but I can see an argument for it.

Expect us to play our normal possession game , but Chelski cannot play like Wolves or all the other teams that come to the Etihad , they have to win , which means they will be vulnerable.

Don't usually like players being targeted — don't hold with it, at all — but I hope somebody's informally taken out a contract on Rudiger. It's not just the CL final. He is a deeply dirty player.
For a team that's had oodles of talent over the years, they certainly like to have their resident hit man. Think of Costa.

We need to fuck these up!

Him & Robertson are the snidest cunts going at the mo.

No need Jesus for his closing down and workrate.

Rudiger is a nasty piece of work, he will get his come uppence one day, but main priority is the 3 points.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Palmer start this.

 

[burning blue soul]

A shadow of the team we met in cl final and even to their start of sesson form

The way we schooled them this season at the bridge is a big reason for that. Took the wind right out of their sales.
