Chelsea? 892 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nope. Jose has always said top 3. He's said it countless times this season. You can't change the manager, half the team and the entire system and go from 15 points off the top to winning the title in one year unless the other title contenders majorly f*** up. Who cares what Jose Says? coming into this season we were easily title favorites? Top 3? who were the 2 that were supposed to be above us? Cause we all saw united tanking the season. City was our biggest competition and even they went though as much transitions as we did. They was no way we would expect anything lower than 2nd place. Anyone who claims 3rd would be considered successful before the start of the season is probably lying to themselves. And don't give me the age excuse. we have an older team than both Arsenal and City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AswinR 96 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 got this feeling that this match is going to be about one player....Hazard or Willian is gonna set ethiah ablaze hopefully...or even salah maybe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Today, all I read how Jose is going to park the bus on Monday. Had it not been for Jose´s complains against West Hams, perhaps we would not see it today. However, I doubt it.Most of the times, I have enjoyed Jose´s pokes in the UK media.To me, that´s the way he is, I can live with it. Does it help Chelsea ? I am not sure. What exactly is expected of Jose on Monday ? Should he be so stupid as Wenger & open himself to relentless attack by Citeh ?Well, I honestly doubt Jose will do it. The way I see it. Matic, Luiz, Ramires in the midfield. Perhaps, William, Hazard, Eto´o up front ?However, one calls it, park the bus, counter attack, I just hope, Chelsea can knick something here.Today, I expect the fucks of Arsenal to win & if Chelsea drops points on Monday, the team may be in trouble, later.

Pizy 18,918 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Don't see how people are putting Lamps in their first XI's. We'd get shredded in midfield if he starts. Wouldn't surprise me if he does, though since José loves him so much.I'd start Luiz and Matić in there. Wouldn't mind seeing a 4-3-3 with Luiz/Matić/Ramires or Luiz/Matić/Lamps.I just think that Luiz really raises his game against the bigger sides and concentrates more. He'll add steel and grit to the midfield and he and Matić can deal with City's midfield physically.

bushman 2,043 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I believe, there is not one fan here, who wouldn´t be happy to see Chelsea getting the much needed result on Monday.Sometimes, I wonder to read Jose´s phlegmatic approach to this season. To read, Chelsea can challenge for the PL next season, Citeh are going to win it...has he already given up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting all the pressure on them and consequently taking it off himself and the team by saying we effectively shouldn't be winning it this season given the squad we have compared to theirs. zolayes, The only place to be and AswinR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 just praying that Mournho will come to grips and wont play Azpi on the left and Iva on the right again..even though I see it coming....There is no way Jose in his right mind will play cole against navas, when even elmohammedy was raping cole.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 If Liverpool win Tomorrow and we lose on Monday, they'll be a point behind us... Right, but Liverpool also play Arsenal next week, so regardless of what happens on Monday, one of our rivals will be dropping points. bababoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toli 977 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There is no way Jose in his right mind will play cole against navas, when even elmohammedy was raping cole.well its the question if you want to have a proper offensive-link for Eden or a (probably) better defensive side in terms of Azpi. I would prefer the former, because we already have Ivanovic as a RB. playing with two full-backs who cant contribute anything in offense will make us even more vulnerable for attacks, because we will be losing the ball all the time, due to shit crossing or just sideway passing from our fullbacks. City are especially vulnerable trough the flanks and we should use this. in the mid, they are beasts with yaya+fernandinho+kompany...we need to use the flanks.futhermore I think that we will sit deeper anyways so A.Cole could be quite good, because his positioning usually is good. There is a chance of Azpi getting destroyed by Navas too so... The Skipper and The Chels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poudestinho_Italy 21 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 If we parked the bus against arsenal, then Man C is definitively a parked bus type of matchwe parled the plane, not the bus, the place!

I think there's a good chance he starts tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
