Milan 17,958 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No Jose for this game. So the player who 'would rather lose than win for him' might turn up this time so that is at least one player performing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 10 Willian and 1 Azpi and we will win with clean sheet. It;s clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'd love to see a 433. Cesc works best in between a no. 10 and a defensive mid role. Oscar next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Let's make it another win.Give Costa "football lessons junior" in dvd maybe he will learn that he needs to stay in the f******g dirty ******* BOX.

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm already dreading an unfit Ivanovic vs Arnautovic. Even a fit Ivanovic would get ripped a new one. I'm also worried about Stoke pressing Fabregas, I think we should start Loftus Cheek in the pivot alongside Matic.BegoAzpi - Zouma - Terry - BabaRLC - MaticPedro - Willian - HazardDiego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 We really need to start racking up the 3pts.Looking at our Next 7 EPL matches, Stoke (A), Norwich (H), Spurs (A), Bouremouth (H), Leicester (A), Sunderland (H), Watford (H).If we could just have 5W 1D and 1L over that stretch, I'll be ecstatic.Just cannot go through every match expecting a loss, these players have to turn the corner at some freaking point, we're in Novermber!Making Top 4 looks all but lost, but come one, at least give us some false sense of hope Chelsea!

Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 We really need to start racking up the 3pts.Looking at our Next 7 EPL matches, Stoke (A), Norwich (H), Spurs (A), Bouremouth (H), Leicester (A), Sunderland (H), Watford (H).If we could just have 5W 1D and 1L over that stretch, I'll be ecstatic.Just cannot go through every match expecting a loss, these players have to turn the corner at some freaking point, we're in Novermber!Making Top 4 looks all but lost, but come one, at least give us some false sense of hope Chelsea! I am not sure all hope is lost for the top 4 "if" we get our act together, take advantage of the the next eight fixtures to get our mojo back and then hit January 1st playing like Chelsea can play. I am not saying we have to be in complete 2014-15 mode, but come close and we'll have a chance and I think that is what everyone is anxiously awaiting is that little "spark" that says we are back to playing like we are Chelsea.The fourth place team has finished with 70, 79, 73, 69, 68, 70, 72, 76, 68 and 67 points the past 10 seasons. That is a 71.2 point average. There are 81 points remaining. Six of the years, 70 or less gets you fourth. 70 points is a good goal to shoot for. That means we need to get 59 out of the 81 remaining, which means we need to take 72.8% of the points the rest of the way in our 27 matches. Under this scenario, winning 18 out of 27 with 5 draws would get you to 70 total for the year. Obviously, we play like we have the first 11 and nothing matters. We would be lucky to break 40 points.But "if" we find ourselves, why not?I'll take it a step further, let's just look at our eight matches remaining through the end of the calendar year, which gets us to the halfway mark. As you suggested, the scheduled lightens up a bit. You have suggested 5-1-1 over the next seven. How about 6-0-2 over those eight, sweep the 4 home matches with Norwich, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Watford and find two wins from the 4 road matches against Stoke, Tottenham, Leicester City and Manchester United. This would put us with 29 points at halfway and needing 41 out of the remaining 57 points in the second half.I think the four home matches are likely wins. I think we can win one of the four road games, so why not two?The point is there is still a chance if we are now finding form. If not, it is all moot. We will know soon.Let's get the three points Saturday and hit the break preparing to finish the end of the first half strong!Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'll add a couple of more quick thoughts. As quickly as we have gone from Champions to looking like we have never been on a pitch before as a team, who is to say we cannot regain form just as mysteriously and quickly? No one would have thought we would be sitting on 11 points after 11 games on August 1st. You would have been laughed out of the forum, so why can we not turn it around as quickly?The thought is that sometimes you have hit bottom and you do not realize until you are a few weeks on down the road. The turn may come without us realizing it.Stay positive. It can turn quickly.Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulvhedin 526 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 If we will start with Iva, Cesc as DM and Costa then... oh my, that will be painful to watch.Cesc can only start as 10 like today, with Ramires and Matic at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This will be a tough game. We need a tactically positive approach to this game by trying comprehensively to outplay them using the ball to open up space with clever movement off the ball as I'm sure they will sit deep trying to hit us on the counter. Baba and Cesar should look for the overlaps and driss crosses from out wide. Ramires and Matic have the energy and dynamism to provide cover when they bomb forwards.
