Few quick notes from the PC this afternoon:

  • Have to take our chances, and be more clinical, and be tighter at the back. Told the team at half time that we needed a third goal to 'kill' the game off. Says the poor form at home is down to the tactics of the away team. Allowed Southampton to counter because we didn't have the right balance between defence/attack.
  • Have to keep winning games to prevent the fans from booing, and improve our home form. Winning will help to make the fans happy.
  • Target is always to win the next game, and this will help us do our best until the end of the season.
  • Arsenal game is important to create a big gap between us and them.
  • 'Good' for Guardiola to go to Bayern because its a big club.
  • Big surprise to see Adkins sacked at Southampton, says Pochettino is a good manager.
  • Doesn't unsettle Benitez to see Zola and Laudrup linked with the job, says he has to just focus on game by game.
  • No extra focus on Fernando Torres. Says the management is trying to improve everyone, and not just Torres.
  • Says Ba is doing a great job. Says we wanted a striker that knew the league.
  • No transfer news.
  • Can't decide on whether or not JT will play Sunday because the pitch was too bad today (snow) to train on, so training was indoors. Will decide tomorrow/later.
  • Says Arsenal will be a different type of game to QPR/Swansea/Southampton because they will not keep their players defending infront of their box.
  • Re: JT. Important to have characters on the pitch. Says they are working hard on his fitness, and they'll see how he is tomorrow.
  • Re: Torres, says we signed Demba Ba so that we can rest Torres sometimes, and this will help him be much better in the future. Says he is 'sure' for Fernando to go 'back to his level'. Says everyone knows Torres is a 'top striker'.
  • Re: Torres/Ba starting together. Says it depends on the game, but starting two strikers would change the shape of the entire team. Says Ba has played wide and as a second striker for Newcastle, so he is capable of doing the same for Chelsea.
  • Re: Temporary contract. Says he knew he was only singing until the end of the season and so his focus has always been to do well for Chelsea game by game until the end of the season and see where we are then and see what happens. Also says that the staff and players are supportive and doing well.
  • Re: Pochettino. Says it is very different for foreign players to adapt to the Premier League, and even harder for managers because there is so much different here in regards to tactics/referees/style/opposition etc.
  • Everyone was fit today, no new injuries.
  • Says he is sure we can get back to the same level that beat Aston Villa 8-0.

I have a bad feeling that we'll lose this and it'll be their shit player Giroud who kills us.

Plays poorly all season but he'll probably score a brace against us, both on set piece headers since we struggle against them.

We've actually been very good defending set pieces this year. Also, wouldn't call Giroud a shit player at all. He's a capable striker who has actually been pretty good when he starts. Gervinho is a shit striker and he scored against us last time we met.

Whenever I watch Giroud he misses sitters and free headers. Never understood the hype he had before he moved to Arsenal and each time I see him my opinion is reinforced a bit. Just doesn't look quality to me.

I just have nightmares still about teams attacking us from the flanks with pace. Arsenal have that.

Remember early in the United game? Seemed like every cross into the box was accurate. That's what I'm worried about.

Other home games the pressure has been extreme because of the expectation that Chelsea has to win at home against a crap team. This match won't be the same, because it's genuinely a tough match. So the crowd will be too tense to complain or boo. I think we'll win this one (unless Torres starts, although tbf he scored in the reverse fixture).

Please win this one Chelsea. It's been way too depressing as of late.
