If Chelsea beat the dippers I am convinced we will beat Palace.

I'd get Mancini back.

Luckily you're not in charge.

Man alive.........

i cant believe the nonsense that is being spunked onto this thread.

you are talking about professional footballers who have spent, not just this season, but their entire lives trying to win football games and then trophies. these types of people do not have a 'dont fink i'll bother' button, they are winners and are driven to be the best. that is how they came to be at the clubs they are.

moreen will motivate and send out the best players he has available to win the game, just like he did at our place. to even suggest to a team of players to "ease up cos we've got bigger fish to fry", after the toil they have put in would seriously undermine a managers respect from the players.

after ten months of fighting to win the league there is no way they will toss it off at the dippers when a win would put them two points behind the leaders and probably still have a better chance of winning the league than us.

Knew it would happen as soon as Ba scored against PSG. Some on here were deluding themselves that it wouldn't make a difference.

It's not one isolated instance...

Let's take a look at the evidence that Chelski do not want City to succeed... and will help others try and stop us

Mozes on loan and Sturridge sold to dippers tick

Mata sold to rags tick

Lukaku loan tick

Constant jibberish about us from their gobshite manager this season tick

Any excuse to field a weekend team on Sunday tick

SOLIDARITY called for here : Blue Army !!

By this argument, Chelsea don't want Chelsea to succeed.

Was thinking the same.

Chelsea lost Petr Cech and John Terry to shoulder and ankle injuries at the Vicente Calderón, but while the lineup who will confront the leaders will not be first-choice, they could not be dismissed as "weakened".

Frank Lampard and Mikel John Obi, who are suspended in Europe after picking up their third bookings of the competition, are expected to start along with the cup-tied Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah. Branislav Ivanovic, who was banned in Spain, is likely to partner Gary Cahill in central defence in anticipation of playing there against Atlético, while Ashley Cole should begin his first Premier League game since 11 January. Arguably the only youngster who may feature would be Tomas Kalas, 20, who could fill in at right-back, though the young Czech has been a regular in the senior setup this season.

The Premier League is unconcerned at the prospect of Mourinho's selection, as long as the majority of the players who take to the field are members of Chelsea's 25-man squad.

Finally some sense. They will not be fielding a "weak" team. As someone said in January if you'd have read out the the lineup that turns up on Sunday, you'd have figured for them to beat us like 2-0.

Except that we can only blame ourselves to be in this position, in all honesty, ask yourself this question:

Would you want Pellegrini to do the same if City were to be in the exact same position Chelsea are in now?

My answer? Yes.

There's really no more to it.
