CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 As I said, my stats app tells me Chelsea at 6 to 2 in PL standings. Is it wrong ?Chelsea never relied on strikers for a decade ? Do you remember Drogba ?You missed the goal against Basel.Yes, what about Drogba? In his best seasons, he used to get about 20 to 30% of our team goals. And that was when we did not have attacking midfielders cutting inside and taking the shots instead of the striker. We've never been reliant on strikers as Athletico were on Falcao, or Napoli on Cavani or even united on RVP last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edetarod 2,155 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 goodit's been a while since we've met them in a cupi hope they play a strong teamif Drogba was here, we'd already be 1-0 up Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba was the most influential player Chelsea had for years. Without his crucial goals the team would not have been as successful.As for the need of a striker. Most successful teams do have one. At Chelsea, that´s missing. Why do you think Jose was screwing around for Rooney ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would not be so sure here. Since, we do not know who´s playing, I would rather wait a bit in my prediction.However, one thing I know for sure. Arsenal will field their best available players, then. Their chance for a trophy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their chance for a trophy ? i remember arsenal fieding their young team against us in a semi-final of carling cup sometime back. so i am not sure if wenger will actually put their STRONGEST TEAM against us when they have liverpool, dortmund and united as consecutive matches after the chelsea match.

Well, you might be right though. Also, Jose might field Mata, Luiz, Azpi as reserves too. After all, he diminished the importance of EL in his last comments. This cup might not be something he strives for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 To be honest I don't see why we shouldn't get 9k. Not sure we'd sell it out though.9000 pissed up Chelsea fans on a midweek game. Police will absolutely hate it, will be a nightmare for them. I reckon it'll be cut down to about 6k or 7k.

Ainsley Harriott 2,732 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Strikers how many ? Last time I looked Chelsea at 6 goals scored 2 allowed.Of course, I do not account for those " friendly matches" against Bayern & Swindon.AMs are not strikers, the post was talking about AMs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Chelsea FC @chelseafc 20m Our #CapitalOneCup game against Arsenal (a) on Tues 29 Oct has been selected for live TV coverage. Kick-off 7:45pm And that game is just two days after we play City on Sunday. The police did not want Arsenal and Spurs to play at home on the same night..

The police did not want Arsenal and Spurs to play at home on the same night..Maybe the board can try with FA and TV to move the match against City to Saturday instead? Why couldn't Spurs match be moved to the Tuesday then? UGH!Or no, Mourinho just said this in the PCChelsea FC @chelseafc 2mMourinho: 'We play Man City on Sunday before cup game v Arsenal on Tues, so our Under-21 side will probably have a great experience.' #CFCSo we'll play the u-21 against Arsenal?

I doubt it now that Arsenal are leading in the PL. For them to beat us might make them boost more their confidence. We need to beat them and make them remember that they are still shit!
