Cornish Steve Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 One of the toughest games of the year, but let's go after them. Any game is winnable this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's the sort of game that we may well do well in. Chelsea will come at us and we can now be a real threat on the break. My head says 1-1 but my heart says 1-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think we will control the game and they will try to get us on the counter. As long as we don't have major defensive fuck ups against the counter (like we've been prone to this season) I can see us getting a draw or coming out on top. I'm thinking we get another Traore goal and possibly one from Mirallas or Deulofeu as a sub. We are always up for these big games, and we will be hungry. We have no fear factor with Chelsea, so this can go well in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 This will be a good game to guage where we are now. We certainly arent firing like we did just before Christmas but we should have most people back and in some form and fitness so there will be no excuses really (other than upfront). If we do well it can have a really positive influence on the rest of our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think it will be the same as usual.... We will give Chelsea a really good game, probably dominate posession only to be given the injustice of poor refereeing decisions due to Stamford bridge and the chosen one.

Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Has he never been beaten at Stamford bridge in the league? With their midfield breaking forward as quickly as they can we need to make sure our passing from the back is spot on. Unfortunately lately dystin and jags have looked shaky to say the least and I'm not confident they will be at their best. Chelseas fullbacks don't bomb on so that doesn't leave much space in behind them we need to be cute in and around the box and make sure we don't leave ourself vulnerable to the counter attack. If our finishing improves we will definately get the results our play deserves.

MC11 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Would be great to get a win but will be very tough. Don't want to see Traore start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Think it's very fair to say if we don't win today Champions League qualification is all but over. Also Spurs could go 8 points clear of us with a win for a Europa League spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 If Man City win the League Cup and qualify for Champions League because of their league position then I think 6th will get Europa League next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Osman's in for Barkley. Otherwise the same team as last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hmmm what's happening with Barkley? Maybe the broken toe has taken that edge off him. Probably see him last 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 C'mooooooooonaaaaaaaah!!! Should be a good game. Be close. Hazard the main man for them just now. They dont have masses of goal scoring threat either. We've gone for a bit of experience here with pienaar and osman. Should be able to get a draw. C'mooooooooonaaaaaaaah! !!

Romey 1878 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Bit worried the midfield will get bulldozed but hoping that the experience we've got in there, as Newty mentions, helps with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
