Entire team particularly Costa & Hazard will be up for Jose. Good to have the 343 played out successfully for 2 games. Our Defense need to be top notch - because this is the toughest test yet in 343. Hull lost to 6-1 to Bournemouth & Leicester rested their 2 or 3 first team players. Good for us that we play Jose's Manu after resting 1 full week. Where as Manu - Monday visit Anfield Thursday night host Fener (Europa) Sunday visit The Bridge. Wednesday night host City (EFL Cup). I will be pissed if I were Jose / Manu. No wonder Jose complained about Oct fixtures. Lot will depend on Jose's visit to Anfield. If he grabs his typical 0-1 at Anfield - it will be difficult for us at the Bridge to get all 3 points. Also Fenerbache's visit to OT on TNF in Europa will also prove crucial for us. Turks for a week, up the Fener!! We cannot have any excuses. Come on Conte's boys!!
The only good thing about not being in the CL is we get a rest. Never easy for the top 4 in the UK due to the sheer number of games, especially when you add in the FA cup and whatever the other one is called this week.
Thought united were very good without the ball at liverpool.I think jose would be happy with a point. I think we can nick this,our team will be up for it,should be interesting!
It'll be a tough game but Man U are bound to be mentally and physically knackered by Sunday after playing their 0-0 park the bus bore draw against Liverpool yesterday and with their upcoming Europa Cup game. I reckon on Chelsea 2 Man U 0.
How not to have a Thursday night footabll. Ref & Fenerbace are disgrace. 2 dives, 2 pens - 2 goals in 2 mins to break open the game. Peach of a goal from Pogba to double his tally of the first half. 4-0 before 50 mins. FFS - this gives a boost to Jose & team. Turks are 9th in their league - but still 4 ****ing 0 in 50 mins??
thank ****. 4-1. Fener convert after their 100th attempt. undeserved clean sheet would have given more confidence to Jose's side. If this Fener can score 1 goal - our strikers should score atleast 2. In the stands Alex & Big Sam are hugging & kissing. Cannot keep their hands off each other.
true, that was a nice finish today as well. i hope Smalling is dealt with when he holds our guys shirts and pull them down in penalty area.
I honestly think Smalling is the only CH in the PL that never got the memo, he always frightens the life out of me at free kicks and corners and I am genuinely surprised he hasn't been caught out yet. I can only think his timing is good and he lets go just before the ball goes into play.
I find it strange that when with us, Jose stuck rigidly to the same old same old week in week out, tonight had 7 changes to the line up at the weekend. I don't think Jose made 7 changes in a season whilst with us. There is mileage in the rumour that as of yet, he does not know his best 11. or even 22.
true Diego. I am sure that was the reason he didn't start your season earlier. Jose is mindful. Smalling should do better. Cannot get away with that for so long. Indeed cringe worthy - especially given the scandals. you should have seen them in the director box at OT.
Maybe he has a lot more players he can trust to do a job now and is spreading the load? just a thought
