Chelsea pre-match thread

Heard a rumour kev is on the bench tonight. Yaya, Dino and Silva in midfield

Hope not. Kev isn't playing well but Yaya has been useless in the bigger games and doesn't have that capability of a moment of magic to win the game anymore - Kev still has one of those per game in his locker.

Love it:-)

Good Man.

I really don't know why some people bother after reading about the doom and gloom they expect to happen.

From who?

If true it's the right decision.

Kev is living off moments at the moment rather than consistent 90 minute performances.

From who?

Someone who works for CITC who knows a under 23 coach. Not dure haow reliable that is though. Pep normally tells the team whos playing the day before a match

To be fair it would be a good call as KDB not been doing to great lately but his in game stats defy this.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

My prediction is either Sane or Sterling is going to tear them a new arsehole tonight.

How we fare at the back however, who the hell knows.

 

[stonerblue]

If Navas starts tonight I am not watching. I have had enough of him to be honest.

Navas was lucky to not be taken off after half an hour against Arsenal. Sanchez and Arsenal targeted him and was walking on thin air in regards to a red card towards the end of the first half.

don't fuckin bother then. Jesus........!!

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Is their any other teams that have 2 Jesus's in them?

The Chelsea midfield is rumoured to be Matic, Kante and Fabregas. So Dino v Cesc part 2.

 

[paulchapo]

The refs (and our shortfalls) have ruined this season for me,i am just waiting to be stitched up in every game

My sentiments exactly! I go into every game now expecting us to be on the wrong end of decisions and it is becoming demoralising. It must be the same for the team seeing clear penalties refused and teams allowed to kick us all over with impunity but as soon as one of our players breathes near the opposition it is a booking.

Easy 9-0 win for us tonight. Clichy to score a hattrick.

I think the teams frustration has got them so many fines and bans,i don't blame them

Doubt they'll play all 3, that would mean a major change in shape from 3-4-2-1 to either 4-3-3 or 3-5-2.

 

[BenHest]

More pressure for the win now in this one unfortunately, I think we'll draw.

Yup draw for me too, I don't see an easy game here. Our defence has to stop Hazard and Costa from breaching our LOD.

 

[Pleatfooted]

Going to stick my neck out and go 0-3 :)
The players should be pumped up for this after the joke ref home game

Its from the Chelsea training ground from yesterday, Conti trying different formations with Moses being out. Sounds like Sane scaring them ;-)

 

[rnblade]

Our defence will be torn apart tonight. We can't cope with players like Hazard. IF we score 1 more than they do, I will be ecstatic. Can't see it happening though. Best we can hope for is a draw. After their loss to CP, they'll be looking to rain down on someone, shame its us up against them next.
We proved that we can't put our chances away, and that has been our fcuk up for quite a few games now. Can't see it changing tonight. At work, so can't watch it. Maybe it's for the best. I would love to see us snatch a win, but the best we can hope for is a draw IMO.

 

[kaz7]

It'll be a frustrating game,they will spoil it diving and cheating getting loads of freekicks and we will get loads of cards and stiffed by the ref,anything different and i'll give up chocolate for a year (after easter that is ;) )

 

[supercity88]

4-1 win for City, De Bruyne (finally) with a couple and Aguero with the rest.
