petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I felt that the team was utterly disspointed after getting knocked out so early in the Champions League and got complacent lately against the lesser sides. I'm sure they will step up their game against United and Arsenal. Jose lives for these big games and he will set them up with the right mentality for these two games in particular. Fellaini is playing really well these days so Chelsea need someone good in the air to contain him, this is why I'm picking Zouma to start this one and be his watch dog.

TheOneChan95 225 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If Costa could stay fit for this one, I bet I won't hear half of negativity in here. So, I think the problem is not that you are fear of MU, but you are lack of confidence with your team.Cheers up people, Jose's record against big teams is not a coincidence.Tbh with the way we have been playing lately I can't really blame them. I don't think we will be so lax defensively like City + Fab and Matic don't have to fear suspension anymore so hopefully we will put up a better performance. We definitely need Remy for this. I think we might set up like a 4-3-3 for this one. I'm hoping for Luis to play (although I highly doubt he will) to give Hazard some space and threaten them more. But I think he is more likely to switch off than Azpi and Fellaini heads it in the back post.

Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 We are the only team in the Premier League that has more wins head to head against Man United. They are surely on a brilliant run but I think we will come alive in a big game. We really need Remy for this one because Drogba can hardly compete at 37... I believe we will defend at first place but we won't park the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If we start poorly, i hope we concede the goal because usualy we turn on after it. As long as we dont play like crap whoe game and they score in the 90th min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You say that like we have been any better, performance wise, since the turn of the new year. Jason's concern is definitely legitimate and it would require another flawless performance from Thibo to get something out of this game since we have been rubbish at our trademark tactics in big games this season i,e parking the bus properly.Trust me you are giving United more credit that they deserve. At home we will not lose. Get Matic to cover felaini and you have cut Uniteds attacking in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Matic to cover felaini and you have cut Uniteds attacking in half.Well once you win 6 on a bounce including handsomely beating Spurs, Liverpool and City consecutievely you tend to deserve credit...same City side that we barely got a draw with embarassing tactics in the 2nd half at home and Liverpool team which we luckily won over 2 games. Spurs are shit so not to mention them, but then they did rekt us 5-3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I can already imagine that thug Fellaini causing all kinds of trouble. Would like to see Zouma marking him, Mikel is too slow and soft for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the best goal difference, we won the most games, our striker is leading top goal scorer (even though he was banned and injured), and even though we arent playing well we are still winning games.

Be positive man! Always so pessimistic. Not really I give praises where dues as well. I didn't say we were trash, I am saying me and many other can already see a repeat of PSG/City scenario where will barely scrape a draw after getting outplaed/dominated by the opposition. Maybe Jose will surprise us all and go attacking again in a big game for the 1st time in God knows how many months now...We are the best team in the league and we will win the league. But this game I fear MU will win/we get a draw with lucks because they are more inform right now and playing better football with fitter players.

DazLaughlan 55 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Honestly United are on form and all but I think we are the perfect side to finish that run. We will frustrate them and sneak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
