Chelsea (H) - Sun 4th Jan, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:30 GMT.

Pressure on a little bit to win this one. Got to beat these basket cases.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Chavs are gonna get spanked.

 

[Blu1]

Some poor games from a few of our key players so expect a big game from Haaland & Foden in this

 

[Eaststander1]

Well the pressure is on us to be at Chelsea now after tonight's disappointment, so we'll see if they can respond in the right way ...... we are usually such a clinical team but we we were far from being that tonight.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Bit wary for this one now if Nico G doesnt make it and Rodri is unable to start

 

[blue_danube]

Need a big response in this one

 

[DMA's]

Gonna be tough this one for a plethora of reasons.

Firstly Chelsea with new manager bounce. Secondly the fact we played tonight and they played Tuesday means they will be fresher. Thirdly we will likely be 7 points off Arsenal come kick so the pressure will be on.

On the plus side caciedo is suspended.

I can see a very tight game with city just nicking it 2-1 but a draw wouldn’t shock me either tbh

I would like to know who will be in the Chelsea dugout. Most likely it will be an interim coach. I hope it's not one who will rally them. I am pleased that Caicedo is suspended. I hope Lavia is out too and Cucurella though I believe that they are injury doubts rather than confirmed absences.

Not sure why he would be unable

 

[Master-Lotus]

I feel confident about this one. We never had issues beating Chelsea in the PL. They are in a disarray right now, we're playing at home. It's going to be much easier than the Sunderland game.

Me neither, although 90 mins might be a big ask.

Thanks. I missed that in the build up to our game.

Firstly, they haven't got a new manager (unless someone was announced in the last 10mins) secondly the 'bounce' is a myth, and thirdly, it's Thursday today isn't it? ;)

Rodri at his current fitness level is an upgrade on Nico.

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Rodri looked pretty sharp considering he's been in and out of the team for over a year

 

[Marvin.]

Rodri at his current fitness level is an upgrade on Nico.

I would like to see more. It seems likely Rodri will play some part vs Chelsea.

 

[Tevez City]

Must win game now.
