Closed Chelsea v Spurs

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Our priority should be 3rd place and not 4th.We just have to win this game.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I would much rather Arsenal finish in the top four. They're shit, and Wenger won't spend because his bosses are still paying off the £300-odd million they owe for that shiny stadium of their's. Plus, historically speaking, Arsenal are a fantastic club with a rich history that deserves to be playing football against great teams on the highest stage. Spurs are a one-man team - without Bale they are mid-table at best - with more jam than Hartley's.

[Special Juan 28,164]

I cannot see us losing this, the players will embrace the must win attitude and deliver the goods.

[Laylabelle 9,536]

Dont give a crap at this point whose in the top 4 as long as we are!!Been a mental seasons off many downs then a few ups...to end on a high be nice!!!

Did dream we were 3-0 up then lost 4-3 in the last 10....

Eeeeeeeeeeeek! Need to keep Bale quiet...

[Joe Cool 388]

I would rather not have Terry playing this game. The way he runs nowadays, he'll have a nightmare trying to deal with the likes of Bale and Lennon, especially on the counter attack. Cahill and Luiz as a partnership always leaves me nervous so I guess it's best to stick with Luiz and Ivanovic in central defence.

[Styles 9,790]

Must win. I don't trust us getting a result on the last day against Everton if we need to.

[Rmpr 8,977]

This is huge not only for top4, but it allow us to rest some key players for Amsterdam!

[Wfisheruk 23]

Bertrand & mikel out,hazard fit & romeu could be in the squad.

[DONI. 1,291]

Benitez:I think everybody knows who will be here next season.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

YESSS!!! sounds like Hazard will play and Romeu is back also!!! :woo: :woo: :woo:

[Milan 17,959]

Benitez: "We will have to keep an eye on Bale, he's a very good player, but they will have to keep an eye on Mata and Hazard."

So nicely said

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Hazard will contribute hugely to us finishing 3rd and winning Euro League. Romeu could be a useful rotation option for Everton and Villa.

-------Cech-------

Azpi--Iva-Luiz--Cole

-----Rami-Lamps----

Oscar--Mata--Hazard

----------Ba-------------

almost same lineup as today + inclusion of Hazard. Should do. We are much more used to playing twice a week than Spurs, so their extra day rest won't mean anything. Assou-Ekotto and Walker will be shitting their pants to face hazard, Lamps will boss Parker, Huddlestone or whatever twat plays for them in midfield. Big game, crucial period of the season, he will again be up to it.

[Ankit 3,176]

Benitez: "It's crucial for us because if we win we will be almost guaranteed a place in the top four."

Benitez: "David Luiz is one of the best players in the Premier League. If we talk about that [smile] we take away from the result."

Benitez reports Eden Hazard could be available but Mikel and Bertrand look set to miss out. Oriol Romeu could play some part.

Benitez: "We will try to win every game but if we have already guaranteed the position it will be easier."

Benitez: "We will have to keep an eye on Bale, he's a very good player, but they will have to keep an eye on Mata and Hazard

Benitez: "Both teams know it's important to win. Hopefully we can keep winning and everybody will be happy."

Benitez: "We have been playing twice a week for 34 or 35 weeks so it's important to manage the squad."

[Atwa 78]

Romeu is back? :blue scalf:

[Jase 43,479]

Great to hear Hazard is back available for tomorrow's game. And Romeu too! But doubt the latter will play in it despite what Benitez said given the magnitude and importance of the game.

[Peace. 4,352]

What will happen tomorrow :

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Cech

Azpi - Cahill - JT - Cole?

Luiz - Mikel

Mata - Oscar - Hazard

Ba

Chelsea 3-2

[Shane 2,275]

Not worried about this at all, They barely beat Southampton, and when AVB insists on playing Adebayor, and he is awful lately. Yes Bale will have to be watched, but as FSW said, so willl Mata and Hazard. We are a better team overall and this will show.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Must not lose and fuck up that amazing record we've got against them. A draw wouldn't be bad, but ffs do not lose.
