Chelsea pre-match thread

We will agree to disagree then. Far too simple to single out players and not look at the team performance.

That is true, but in the end it doesn't matter how the team performs if individual errors can cost us so greatly.

Feels like a free hit this game so lets just go out all attack and see what happens. If we lose we lose. After this game we have no more tricky fixtures

Come on blues, am off on holiday Thursday so send us off with a win;-)

Perhaps you should display a bit more knowledge about football ability. Despite his rag background, demons and injury problems McGrath was an outstanding defender.
One fully deserving to be mentioned along side VK. Two greats!

Could of been one of the greats if he could lay off the sherbert.... the epitome of being able to read the game and that pace is secondary to a brain... there's often arguments around players of years gone by and the impact of modern science on that player, McGrath would be one of the best in the world!

Kolarov will partner Stones tonight I reckon.

I can't see Pep putting in Otamendi in considering how dangerous Chelsea are on set-pieces.

I think pep will go high risk and attacking,if we haven't learnt about the high line and one ball into space on a counter attack then we never will

I agree.

My concern is Sergio v Luis.

The way refs seem happy to card Sergio could be a worry tonight.

More concerned Luiz will put him out for the rest of the season considering what Kun did to him.

Luiz still hasn't recovered from that tackle by some accounts.

I have no objections with kun rolling around like he's been shot tonight, in fact I'd encourage it.

Chelsea will shore up, press and play counter attack football against us because we are a better footballing side.
IF we can beat the press, finish our best chances of which there will be a fair few and not allow ridiculously soft goals to long balls over the top or engage in any circus goalkeeping like last time, we are in with a good shout.
They know it and we know it.
