markjazzbassist Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 We are playing well and building something. We beat them last time, let’s do it again. They have a weak Backline and DCL and Richarlison should bully them. I think we can win.

Btay Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Tough game. Expecting lampard to set them up in an attacking 4-4-3 knowing he’s got VAR between the sticks that’s kept out more goals than any keeper this season. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 In an ideal world Carlo is on the touchline for this game, however if there's anyone else I'd rather have it'd be big Dunc. Matt and Gwlad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Chelsea are so hit and miss. Played Spurs off the park but then could have been beaten by Bournemouth. To be fair that is the Premiership at the moment! It is set up to be another entertaining game! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a line of communication set up between Carlo and Dunc anyway; I don't think they're allowed a direct one but easy to overcome that.

They will be buzzing when we play them at the weekend. This game just got a bit harder I think. On the flip side Kovacic and Willian might be injured, plus their home form has been jittery this season. And I'd imagine the lads will be well up for it after being robbed against united. I'm looking forward to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 After beating the shite they will be feeling like they are going to walk it, when in fact they have hit them very much on the down, I see this as an advantage to us, they are in for shock.

DavisJD Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Interesting analysis: https://www.premierleague.com/news/1635357 Compensating for aerial weakness Another advantage Chelsea have when using three centre-backs is the extra height it gives them when defending set-pieces and crosses. This has been an area of weakness throughout Lampard's first season in charge at Stamford Bridge. Most aerial goals conceded 2019/20 Headed goals Goals from corners Club Total Club Total AVL 11 AVL 9 WOL 9 NOR 9 CHE 8 CHE 8 NOR 8 MUN 8 WHU 8 Meanwhile, Sunday's opponents Everton have scored the most goals from corners, with nine, and boast the twin aerial threats of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison. So despite beating Liverpool 2-0 in the FA Cup this week with a back four, it may be prudent for Lampard to consider reverting to a back three. Bringing in an extra centre-back, while releasing Alonso and James to play further forward, could pay off against the Toffees.

Aidan Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Would have preffered Mina against Giroud. Hopefully the lads go in hard against Barkley today would get the away fans going!
