Hutcho

I will probably avoid the utd match. Too many possibilities for me. Its not inconcievable for the result to go any way, and even results like 3-3 with the shaky defences we both have. As always GL though.

Welcome...

I don't think playing more defensively is the answer. 100% agree on daniel sturridge starting. Tbh, i cant see us keeping them out for 90 mins if RVP and rooney show up. I think we have to come out fast, having 4 attacking players isn't like we are going all out, we have mikel who will definately sit in and ramires who is up and down all game. We didn't have a good game against shakhtar, but then we have had good games against the majority of teams this season, with the exception being against qpr when we played a more defensive lineup. If we play that lineup then we will probably have to soak up a lot of pressure which i don't think we can handle. If you look at the man u fans opinions on the game, who are they scared off??? Hazard mata and oscar, they are afraid that those 3 can link up together and take the game away with their speed and passing ability, not to mention mata is the most in form player in the prem right now. If they saw that lineup they will be much happier than seeing our normal lineup (except danny in for torres). Also, is playing super frankie in there gonna make us that much more defenisve... I doubt it. And i think oscar is being underestimated in the defending apartment. Yes he is not the best, but he gets back and has done well in defence in the early parts of the season. I say we go at them from the start and go from there, rather than be cautious and let them get on the front foot.

Love a bit of optimism...

Go on the official chelsea website. Click on tickets. Buy tickets. Membership. Then fill out the form. Adult membership is 25 pounds i think, if you just want the ticket privledges.

I think we have beaten them before... We can worry about that if we qualify...

Yeah i do agree with you somewhat there. The shakhtar defeat pulled us back and gave us a reality check, after high flying league form beating tot and ars. Should be a wake up call for the team and i expect them to be fully determined and on it come sunday.

Yep.. Its still in our hands. The next 2 are HUGE games. If we can win at home vs shak then we have a slight cushion going to juve. If we don't beat shak then juve have the lead and we have to go to their house and beat them which is a completely different story. 4 points in our next two games and we are fine (easier said than done of course).

Because they have the best attack we will probably come up against this whole season. Manure has been very shaky in defence, but in terms of striker quality they have that in bucket loads.

I think we have to start them. We all know this could end up being a shootout and with their attack i highly expect them to score, so we must go out to attack. We know what has happenned when we sit back. Our worst result came from doing that vs QPR. It worked vs arsenal and tottenham so why change it.

We finish second and get BATE...

Arsenal will still go through. Man city won't.

You never know... http://gyazo.com/dbd9dd1330ee51b3d1a97adccbff364d

See RDM's plan is working...

Yeah lol...

Definately, probably didn't because mata didn't role around like an idiot afterwards.

2-0 lol.

More bad news for city then lol.

3-1. :)

2-1 to ajax.

santos getting absolutely ripped apart by farfan.

ajax 1-1 vs m city.

Arsenal stadium is extremely quiet as always lol, you can only hear the schalke fans.

Lol, mannone just fouled affelay in the box and the ref booked him for diving. Should have been a pen.

Yeah that looks pretty good, could be an over-reaction by the bookies after the norwich game.
