Screw this up..game over.3rd away win! Please Chels dont mess this chance up!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Another draw I reckon. We're awful at the minute, and Portsmouth are playing with confidence and spirit despite being certain to go down. I don't think we're good enough to go there and win. If we scrape a 1-0 win I'd be fucking chuffed, but I really can't see it happening.

[Shane 2,275]

2-0 Pompey i'm afraid, They know there going down, and they'll go out with nothing to lose and attack, They couldn't care if they lose 5-0.

[Ray. 217]

Should be a walk in the park for us, but can see us just scraping through if we play like we did yesterday. Got to stop being complacent. OK we score first, but it's not the time to sit back and relax. Need to fight to the end. FFS they're in administration, they know that they're in the shit, so we just got to go in with guns blazing and get the job done.

I can't see us not winning this one,won't be surprised if we struggle though.

Game over if we don't win this for sure. I can't see us coming back if we lose to Pompey. Come on lads go and stuff them they're going down anyway

[NattyBlue 44]

Fucking players...need to win this but at the same time it's hard to see it happening, this game is a gift and the team needs to make the most of it and play for the 90 mins

[Steve 10,227]

Premier League Football blog previewing the Chelsea game:

Carlo Ancelotti has demanded an immediate response from his Chelsea players when they travel to take on basement club Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Wednesday.

The west London club lost precious ground in the race for the Premier League title when they could only manage a 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Sunday to drop to third – just hours after Manchester United beat bitter rivals Liverpool to move two points clear of Arsenal in second place.

Chelsea will play their game in hand when they go up against former manager Avram Grant this week but now trail Sir Alex Ferguson's side by four points and still have to go to Old Trafford.

Ancelotti has admitted it will be difficult for the Blues to overhaul United but has insisted they will not throw the towel in.

"It's important to win on Wednesday," added Ancelotti.

He added: "We need to work together, stay compact and the next game against Portsmouth is very important, we can stay close to Manchester United.

"I don't know how many points we need to win the title but I know we have to win on Wednesday and then prepare game by game."

We will win this one big, 3 or 4 goals, i trust the players and they are going to show up with the right attitude... Portsmouth had become one of the toughest team to beat in premier league and we need to prove we are still title contenders by beating them, not just beating them, but beat them convincingly away from home, thats the Chelsea we know.

[EskWeston 696]

Need to try something different in this game now! Either play 4-3-3 with Kalou & J.Cole or play the 4-diamond-2.....

My team:

............................................Cech...........................................

Ferreira.................Alex.....................Terry..................Zhirkov

............................................Mikel..........................................

.......................Lampard......................Malouda......................

...J.Cole..............................Drogba...........................Kalou.....

Either than or have a real go at trying something different and play either Kakuta, Sturridge or Matic......

[Laylabelle 9,296]

You mean like they show up with the right attitude against Blackburn after going out of the CL? :getyou:

I'd be a happy if they prove me wrong, though.
