TRon Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 16 hours ago, Crimson Cardigan said: Chelsea struggle with a low block and are prone to conceding poor goals. We have a chance in this. Also having a squad packed with that many heartless mercenaries means they can lose their heads. We need to play smart. They've still got a much better squad, and as we saw in the second half of last season, that ultimately counts. Of course we've got a chance of getting a result, if we can stop conceding soft goals that would really help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Might be blind optimism, as I'm going to this one. But I actually think despite how good they have looked for a lot of this season. I think we match up quite well against them. Just the away form is obviously a bit of a worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted Tuesday at 15:50 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:50 I'm not confident of a result but I do think we'll put in a good performance and actually score from open play. 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re watching it at the Rum Runner Lounge on Tropicana (Toon Army Las Vegas) if anyone else is over there and fancies a 7am beverage! Update in case anyone else in Vegas! @everyone we are going to switch the location of Sundays matchday to Hennessey on Fremont st. We will not be at the Rum Runner.

Lush Vlad Posted Thursday at 19:10 Share Posted Thursday at 19:10 Not an ideal prep playing away in Greece tonight. A few expected starters were in from the off. Plus some on the bench. They were not great against Forest after their last European game. Might have been totally unrelated and Forest have been good this season. But you never know. Clutching at straws? Yes But I’ll look for any positive I can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not suggested they won’t make big changes? I mentioned a few likely starters and the same on the bench. Hard to say ‘regular’ starters. As like you reference, they can rotate £100m players FFS But it isn’t an ideal prep. Less time to work on the gameplan for Sunday and a lot of players that will be involved will have made a 3000 mile round trip. Like I said. Straw clutching and they’ll probably still have too much for us regardless. But I do still think we match up well against how they play at the back.

Sibierski Posted Friday at 05:57 Share Posted Friday at 05:57 Thinking about this game yesterday, and despite having little confidence in getting a result, it is the sort of game where should be expecting better energy levels then the opposition and a good plan to approach the game. Whole positive point of not being in Europe is for this type of game. We’ve had a week to work on a specific game plan for opposition, whilst they are travelling back from Europe Friday morning and will have scratch training just working briefly on shape and set up.

Unfortunately Chelsea are running pretty much two separate teams for the league and Europe in the pre knock out stage. Still some benefit to us as the coaching staff are obviously occupied but Palmer et al will have been wrapped up at home watching on TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumG6 Posted Friday at 08:52 Share Posted Friday at 08:52 Would we rather win in the league or in the cup if you could only have one? I feel like we need to go all in on the cups this year as an insurance policy for Europe if our league position doesn't qualify us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelylad Posted Friday at 10:35 Share Posted Friday at 10:35 Sky have whacked on In-depth highlights of the 3-2 Sissoko game. Funny watching it back post VAR. Chelsea 100% get a pen for Ba getting booted in the face and Cisse definitely gets a red for grabbing Cole around the neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
