kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 People thought we would get hammered by City. It didn't happen.People thought we would get hammered by Arsenal. It didn't happen.Some even thought we would get hammered by Tottenham. It didn't happen.Now people are saying we'll get hammered by Liverpool, and guess what? It won't happen.I don't know why people are so negative around here. For all the criticism we give Mourinho, he has not been out-thought yet; never-mind by one of his understudies. Bredan-fecking-Rodgers is hardly a master tactician. If Mourinho has a plan to stop another team playing, it usually works.Our problem has been being unable to finish our chances and not much else. Yes, we've conceded quite a bit against lesser teams, but it's down to the style Mourinho/Abramovic/the club wants. We're still creating loads of chances for a team that needs a few players and if we were to finish more of those chances it would obviously be totally different.Mourinho usually has a specific game-plan for those in the top 4-6 so I think it'll be a tight game. Could be end-to-end stuff and could be decided by a magic moment from Suarez or one from Hazard. But I certainly don't see us getting hammered like some people are claiming.

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Provoke Suarez- I'd use Ivan as bait for this- get him sent off. Beat them like they're a mid table side. Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weckerz 3,781 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Are u serious? Yea they're playing well, especially Henderson, and a Lampard-Mikel pivot is unbelievably static and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The 'JT will get shredded by pace' facade is so stupid. JTs positional play is still world class so it doesn't matter. I used to say the same thing about Tony Adams. I didn't understand the hype about him until I saw him playing in front of the Shed one day and my old man just said to watch him. I've been lucky to see the same thing for the last decade with JT, this amazing reading of the game to be in the right spot so you don't need great pace to get there.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I would be more afraid of Sterling/Suarez/Coutinho than of Henderson and Allen.@Special Juan well they dominated City at their stadium, so its kinda normal, that people have respecht. especially when with Ramries one of our most important players is missing and we have no adequate substitute for him in the squad.Yeah they were great against City. Arsenal put 3 past City too and could have scored more but they couldn't get a shot on target against us. City plays all out attack, their sole aim is to outscore you, especially at home. Now I'm not marginalizing Liverpool's performance but there is no way Jose will let Liverpool play like that against us. Gameplan wise, we should probably play similar to how we played Arsenal, except this time I'd play a little higher and with Luiz instead of Cahill.Against Arsenal their AMs were dangerous but with Liverpool it's Suarez dropping deep and linking up which is the real danger so we'll want a CB to stay tight to him and follow him every time he drops to receive the ball and not let him turn. Luiz is the most suited for this kind of job and I'm guessing Mikel will also start so he can fill in if Luiz rushes forward.I think we can definitely win this match, I expect us to win this, especially since we're at home but we have to take our chances when we get them because it's all well and good to have the perfect gameplan but the kind of form Suarez is on he can score a goal out of absolutely nothing so we'll have to score goals if we want to win.I'd be scared of Suarez, who wouldn't but not Liverpool they can def be had, I'd say the same about City too. On our day we can beat both, Jose is def capable or devising the right gameplan and the players are listening to him so they are perfectly capable to execute these gameplans.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Some things to consider.- Liverpool have yet to be tested on short weeks... They've been good mainly because they had the entire week to prepare for opponents.- Suarez hasn't scored in any of the big matches (Tottenham the only exception) he tends to bottle it against big opposition.- Ramires miss is huge... Only highlights the need to go back in the window in January for cover. Van Ginkel would've been useful here.- Torres is allergic to the ball against Liverpool. Demba Ba seems like the best choice here though I doubt he will play.If we are gonna take it to them at home and play progressive football then the only real solution without Ramires is Oscar replaces him and we play 4-2-3-1.CechIvanovic - Luiz - Terry - AzpilicuetaLampard - MikelWillian - Oscar - HazardBaThat's what I'd do and ask Oscar to play box to box.

laeth 527 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Lampard and Mikel... ugh.Wouldn't be surprised to see Essien start. Even with his problems, he still moves the ball faster than Mikel and is generally more dynamic in his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
