The 'Special One' is under huge pressure now and I feel it's getting to the point where from Chelsea's point of view it's a must win for them against us at all costs. The doomsday scenario for them would be a Sunderland win and couple this with some other results put Chelsea in the bottom three.....so how would you play it? Park the bus and try and catch them on the break....or take the game to them? First goal in this game will be massive....
Not sure. But one think i do know, if Chelsea do click and the players decide to play, someone is gonna get spanked.
Same as for the Arsenal game. Kabul should be back to bolster the back line, so keep it tight and get them on the break. Born is due a good game and Watmores pace will put the ****s up Terry.
Rough Costa up so he loses it and sent off before HT, Borini and Watmore straight down the middle chasing long balls forcing their defence to turn.. Albrighton, Rhamez and Vardy had Chelsea defence all over on occasions, so why not us.
thats what they done to costa last night and it was obviously part of the game plan,in their faces not letting them settle,the pace from midfield was also key,90 mins of high energy.
That what I'm worried about Last night they started ok I don't know how Sam will approach the game weather he will sit back and hit them on the break or go at them from the start. I think maybe go at them full speed and try and rattle them. Otherwise if we sit back and let them play there confidence will improve Then God knows what will happen next .??????????
I concur with the worry that after losing the last home game to Bournemouth and then at Leicester. Can we really see them losing at home to us? I hope so! We can't sit back, Chelsea are rattled and short of confidence, we should play a high pressing game and get at them from the off. Don't give them time to play themselves into the game because if they do get the first goal then it will be hard to come back from that. Chelsea weren't that bad last night and easily deserved a point away at the leagues form team...
Costa seems to be doing a great job at winding up his own team mates, saying the defence was half asleep just after the Vardy goal. The looks he got back from those players showed the lack of team spirit they currently have. please log in to view this image Most of the other players looked like they couldn't care less, especially our nemesis Hazard. It was all a bit strange him going off after a bit of a push from Vardy, Mourinho told him to get back on the pitch and then he just walked off after taking a few steps. Hopefully he will miss the game or be dropped. Chelsea are there for the taking, I'd like to see us go all out for an early goal and then park the bus but I think Sam will just set us up to not concede and look to score a breakaway goal.
"One of my best qualities is to read the game for my players and I feel like my work was betrayed," said Mourinho. "One possibility is that I did an amazing job last season and brought the players to a level that is not their level and now they can't maintain it."

So far it is counterattacking football that Chelsea are struggling with. We done this really well against Arsenal and the only thing that went wrong was our failure to finish moves off.
Just attack the bastards and let them do the panicking. Before the start of the season we'd have this down as a "point-would-be-a-good-result" game. Now? Whatever. But we let them settle and get a grip and we'll be staring down a twatting. Again!
With an underperforming Chavski team and which Maureen can do little about, we cannot go too defensive or they will gain confidence, please Big Fat Sam play Defoe and Fletcher together
Some big decisions here for big Sam, get it right and we could win this but Chelsea are still a very good team in a false position and kick starting the opposition, has been one of our specialities in recent years.
Same tactics that beat Stoke. Chelsea can't handle pacey breaks so we need Jones/Yedlin, Pva, Watmore, Lens, Borini and Defoe breaking with force.
**** knows what will happen in this game. Cautious counter-attacking with verve, and Patrick Kagoul covering at the back.
