Closed Chelsea vs Wigan

[Kojo 4,676]

Do we always have to play teams when they are in their top form?

Do we always have to play teams when they are in their top form?

I know it's a piss take, we even played Blackburn when they were at there best...

However, manager Roberto Martinez is again without striker Hugo Rodallega due to a knee injury that is likely to keep him on the sidelines for another 10 days.

Then we have a habit of playing Spurs when not at their best and still not getting all 3 points

[Ollie 4,400]

This game is that type of game where we literally have to get through it even tho we don't want to play it. It's just in the way. We should play as many fringe players as possible and hope it's a good enough team to beat Wigan. We don't have to play our best team but Drogs needs a start i think just to get some action. We need him in form for Barcelona because he's always caused them problems. In fact Torres has scored 7 against Barca too that works in our favour as well.

Romeu, come back please, wherever you are, we need you for this game.

I don't care how shit we play, we just have to get the job done.

[Kezza 1,965]

We have to get the job done, we dont win and we'll be knocking on the numder 6's door asking if we can stay for a week.

[kingofchelseadom 41]

This game is now very important. Will not be easy but I think we will win 2-0.

[capriccioso 2,545]

A repeat of the Benfica performance is probably the very minimum we need. Grab 2 goals, miss about 3 sitters and concede one through poor defending.

[Strike 7,489]

If we don't make it to 4th place, I would prefer to finish 6th. Because, then v don hav the europa distraction next season when we have a better squad

[ZanSnake 1,211]

We need to win this, and if Spuds lose against Sunderland, which is more possible since Martin took over, then we have a better chance to get that fourth spot come monday.

We keep out Moses, we keep out Wigan!

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Please win guys!! Everytime are rivals have opportunity/do mess up we mess up to!!!! Pissin me off this is, get points asap! Will be at work, but hope to see good news not "lackluster Chelsea scrape by for draw" or "wigan stun Chelsea at Stamford bridge to end UCL dreams!"

I'm really nervous just cuz this season has been so shit in epl play!

[Strike 7,489]

jst thinkin dt given how poor we were, v shud hav settled for draws vs liverpool, arsenal, etc... instead of pilin men frward and leavin ourselvs open at the back

I'd take this. 3 points with a shit side and on to Fulham.

[chrismada9 1,948]

I see nothing more than a win here in all honesty! We may be concentrating on the Champions League, but a win here would be important to put pressure on the teams above us!

[Billy. 2,742]

i dont really wanna see mata playing the guy needs a rest and i want him to play on monday when we play Fulham

I agree.. I know he had a good game, but I was really pissed off when I saw him on the team sheet against Aston Villa, and I don't normally get pissed off about good players showing up in a team sheet!

[Marvin123 533]

hoping lukaku gets a look in at some point today? makes perfect sense to me to rest our main strikers but hey what do i know!
