LiquidAK Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If we can put in a good performance, pick up a bit of confidence, then I'll happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If Jonas plays (pretty certain he will) then he's going to have to get up and down the flanks like he never has before. Chelsea's midfield is so good; we're really going to have a tough job containing them. Jonas and the other winger are going to have to break their balls for the cause tomorrow if we're to have any chance because the defence and central midfield are going to need as much support as possible. Essien and Lampard up against Butt and Nolan is such a horrible thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I would love to know what is going through Alans mind right now. Wonder if he has already told the players the team and formation or whether he is waiting until just before kick-off. Not quite sure what is generally seen as the best tactic on that score.

Dragon55544 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 2-1 Owen brace and the media will be asking why he aint in the England team. We'll go 2-0 but concede a sloppy goal and have to defend for our lives for the best part of the last 15 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 In some ways, I'm wishing Shearer had taken over after this game. If we lose by three, four, even five goals, that effect he's produced could be gone overnight. On the other hand, if we win, we could easily go on and win 4 or even 5 of the remaining fixtures.

Plus it's not like we're playing a shit team either, we're playing Chelsea and I think Shearer will use it as a motivational tool to inspire the lads for the rest of the season. That goes for whatever the result is to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'd love to see us get a win - that's what my heart says. Head says however, that they will have too much for us. They'll win 2-1, after a spirited performance from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Even if we get thrashed by Chelsea (which we won't), it is better that Shearer is here now to soften the blow and keep confidence up. Another defeat under Hughton and Calderwood might have left the lads suicidal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essien and Lampard up against Butt and Nolan is such a horrible thought. I think you'll find that Alan Shearer will not be approaching the game in that manner at all. He'll not worry about Chelsea's game, and will be determined to make them worry about ours. I wouldn't be surprised if we're a goal up within the first few minutes.

Oh aye, of course, I didn't mean my post to come out like I wanted us to be negative. I know we're going to be taking the game to Chelsea and rightly so, but at the same time, we have to ensure that we track back and don't get lazy.
