Match Day Thread Stoke at the Bridge

Stoke are playing 343 with Mame Diouf as their Right wing back & Glen Johnson as rightsided CB with Shawcross in the middle & Indi as leftsided CB.

Sparky's 343 has held up pretty well against inferior teams. However has faltered against Goons & Pool both away games.

Costa & Kante will be back.
We should get this over 3-0.

 

2-0 Costa brace

 

I agree with Robby, 2-0 Costa brace was also going to be my prediction.

 

Any win will suit me to equal the record.Then a trip to the lane to try and beat it.....

 

True.
Spuds will be up for it.
After all that will be their cup final and nothing else to play for.
Even top 4 is next to impossible for them.

 

Spurs will be super tasty and they feel hard done by. I was worried about the first game but I reckon Chelsea have that steal about them that Jose brought about. Losing is not an option and they simply find a way.
In my opinion, if we go through this run of games and win, then the title is well and truly ours to lose.

 

Will be interesting to see the team Conte picks, he surprised last game and was proved correct. Would be hard not to pick the usual suspects with a record dangling in front of us, but Conte does seem to have faith in his judgement and his players.
I'll be extremely happy with a 1-0 but suspect it might be a bit better. That is if we don't choke !!!
Only joking, this team are not chokers.

 

At this moment I fancy us against anyone anywhere. 2-0 and then 2-1 at the lane.

 

Are you saying Spurs will get a penalty? We will have to look out for deli Daley.

 

This game promises to be awesome - if we beat Stoke and thus get the 13 wins on the spin it will bring the roof down. During seasons past this fixture often used to go to general sale - not this time because it's members and season card holders only. I've got my tickets locked in the safe with the cats guarding it.

 

I'm also going for a 2-0. I'll go Costa and Luiz. Bout time he stuck in a free kick

Got to keep winning these games. The winning streak is great and important but more important is to keep distance with the chasing pack. Seems like all the top 6 are pretty much winning every week now (save for when they play each other). Even United have turned it around - though I feel they are probably too far back.

 

Another easy win for you.

 

Is Chelsea's times up?

 

13 - unlucky for some...

 

Not us bruv!

 

2 Stoke goals . 2 Assists for Kante

Worst ever performance from Kante.

Mikel will be proud of that .

3-2 lock it down
Pull Cescy out now

 

Squeaky bum game.
So good!!

 

Fabregas is struggling to keep pace.

We will drop points in this if Fabregas plays 90 mins.

Fabregas has broken Kante down. No mean task.

 

Conte responds with Matic for Cescy. Glad.

 

Good, tighten things up a little.
Still think we can get a 4th if Stoke keep playing this open
