This game will be more of a PSG, rather than a Chelsea.
The early pressure must be dealt with better than in Paris. Paris got ahead early and then defended like it was their cup final. Scouse will do the same if they can.
If we repel the early onslaught, or even get an early goal ourselves, then I see a dominant win*


*all things being equal with officiating, btw.

The ref will fold with their crowd which is why my expectations are low , draw at best i reckon

Good Point.

No crowd away at Klanfield helped though Mate.

Prior to that he has been Dog Shit with a Crowd.

I think Ball retention will be key today.

Sterling losing the Ball 9/10 on the edge of their Box starting their quick counters will kill us.

Just my opinion.

We will see. Don't think he'll start meself.

Keep the Egyptian Lennie Bennet quiet and we could get something.

He is badly out of form,he is not a striker , he shouldnt be made to play there, saying we will lose if he plays but win if he doesnt was ridiculous by sid

Forget his goal scoring, look at his 1st touch; hell, even his 2nd touch (if he gets one) is usually a tackle these days.
He has lost his confidence and self belief, no amount of coaching can get that back... only he can.
If we need speed late on , or we are 3-0 up at 80mins, playing 10 men that's the only time he should be looked at.
As much as it pains me to say this, btw.

Just to get the butterflies and fist pumps started. Its nostalgic, it’s our song and brilliant when you’ve had a few beers in you.

The early exchanges will be telling. At Chelsea we dominated from the start, and didn't let up.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Bloody hell... Raheem is just out of form, he's not lost the ability to play!

While I personally think he would probably benefit from a fresh challenge, the simple fact is that he'll come good again some point, hopefully today if he's picked.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Get ready for a loss to be blamed on raz whether he plays or not

He’s a fantastic player when he’s in the mood, but he’s been shit for the last 18 months so he should get grief, hope he doesn’t play today cos its like playing with 10 men when he does at that place

Come on Blue boys, let's give them feral scouse fuckers a proper schooling.
