The Prophet Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 These have only lost once at home this season, to City, but they have drawn a lot. Burnley, Brighton and Everton have all taken a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee909 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I'm sure some of the more negative moany naysayers are looking forward to this match. They've been pretty quiet recently, so a loss will be good for them eh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 7 hours ago, Nobody said: They are miles ahead of us like. Be over the moon with a draw, but we don't even need a result here. pretty much this on reflection, Chelsea with a win , they will be right up for this one . No disgrace , we are coming for them .

Dokko Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 No injuries, thsts really all I care about for this one. Sounds defeatist but there's some good fixtures coming up and this one is out of our reach unless Chelsea fluff their lines. I think their crowd will be wild after all the news and the team defiant. Either the worst or best time to play them. I think worst, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure, James being out for them is a massive boost for us, plus they play lille on Wednesday so expect them to rest a few. Obviously they are still massive favourites but I feel we can go there without much pressure and have a good go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Dictionary definition of a free hit this. Go out and play our game and we could get a result, but there’s no shame in losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Warthog Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Fully expect to lose this, but who knows? Any points from this game would be amazing. Certainly more optimistic than I would have been without the new team in place. If we do lose, hope it's not a heavy defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I think we'll give them a good game, which is more than can be said in times gone past under that useless cabbage headed cunt. Anything here is a bonus, and anything is possible. Chelsea are a very good team, but they're not invincible. Would also love Burn to kick that little cunt Mount right into the stands, can't stand him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This is so weird. I am actually really looking forward to this game. A defeat (or even a draw) last night & I would've still had a lingering relegation worry in the very back of my mind, and wouldn't have been fully able to enjoy this as the totally free hit it now is. Now we're as good as safe (fivethirtyeight put us as a 2% shot at getting relegated) I just want to enjoy the match, hope the lads give it a good go and we give a good account of ourselves. Can honestly see us even nabbing a cheeky draw. BDB with a stoppage time equaliser from a corner prompting absolute scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bintang Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 We will lose, but as another poster has said this a a free hit so I wont be too bothered. In a couple of years we should be in a position where losing any game will bother me. We are just not there yet. I would hope for a good performance though.

Everton play away to Palace in FA Cup QFs three days after they play us while our next match is in April. Maybe enough in the tank to take to Goodison Park.

gjohnson Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 2 months ago this would have been a guaranteed Chelsea win, but then it also would have been a Southampton win too. Can't call this one, we've got confidence and momentum. They could either have a massive seige mentality, or been shaken by recent events. Cant help but think at least some of their players will have been rattled by the sanctions, and no doubt been told by Tuchel to ignore it and focus on football, but it's not easy to get that kind of stuff out of your mind. We know how we'll play now, just depends which Chelsea turns up. Pressure is all on them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 As long as we give them a game and Alonso and that little twat Mount don't score I'll be content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This won't be easy for Chelsea and that's all we can ask for, make it difficult, defend well and when we do get a chance, hope that it falls to the right player. I'm not expecting anything but I don't think it's a dead rubber either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Chelsea are a conservative and methodical team, like us in many ways, but with way better players. If we work hard, keep our discipline and try and take our chances when we create them, which I imagine will be few and far between, we can get a draw at least. The Rafa way basically when we beat City or now the Howe way when we beat Leeds and last night Southampton. The beauty now, is I don’t fear a thumping or a defeat as I know we will go out to not lose, to try and win and give it everything to do that.

Kanji Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I used to love playing big teams pre Ashley, and for the first time since maybe Rafa’s end of last season am I feeling the same. Go and play our game. Hopefully we have Big Joe back for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 If Joelinton is fit to start, I fancy us to get something. He is literally prime Kante these days and was a big miss last night despite the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Have Bruno at the base, Joe and Willock to his left and right. Manquilo in at RB. No other changes unless Maxi can play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
