We've got no chance.

I have absolutely no confidence in the manager, or the players.

Just dread to think what Chelsea is going to turn up.

Just hope we don't get hammered again.

I fear the worst, not just because they hammered us 6-0 and are an outstanding side, but they are facing a bog average middle of the table side in us.

Cant see any of our defence stopping Sterling getting in behind them -land mines ?

Well if we go out starting like we have been doing we are going to get mullered

We have to start with intensity. Go out thinking we are Billy Big Bollox.

Just really need to  play them like we did in December. score first then keep pressing.

still remember the 2 games against them in that 15-16 season, very stubborn side, it will be no walk in the park, William was having his fairytale season with freekicks remember?

Sarri please do not play the same lineup that got thrashed 6-0. 

Also pretty much same line up that beat city earlier on the season...

I’d rather see Alonso in left midfield than leftback. I’ve always seen him more as a midfielder than a defender/fullback. His troubles at LB do not surprise me.

And Chels is too soft and predictable in midfield for me. He’d add some physicality and Alonso can get into the box and cause trouble. Let Kante sit deep instead and support Jorginho, which allows Odoi to attack them hard on the right

I know this is out of the box but that just how I think. I need Sarri to do something. He’s so rigid. People love comparing him to Guardiola but Pep makes (slight) tactical tweaks and employs players in different  positions all of the time. He’s nothing like that and he’s losing me because of it.

I'd rather stick Willian or Pedro there mate.

In midfield? And make midfield even softer? That does not sit well with me.
