Tomo 21,751 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Weirdly im looking forward to this. The whole world including 95% of our fanbase are expecting us to get hammered, how many times have we been in that situation and actually got hammered? Barely if ever, most recent examples our cup finals last season. Johnnyeye, Starman60 and bigbluewillie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly relaxed about this. If we win, it's a nice thing. If we lose, nobody really cares, though it is one of the trophies the Roman Era has missed out on.

This is our 3rd attempt trying to win this Super Cup under Roman, hopefully 3rd times the charm. As I say, it'd be wonderful if we won, but I won't lose sleep if we lose. Every Chelsea fan knows Sunday is a far more important game. I just want us to compete and come out of the game with some credit. The positive is that Lampard's first two games are against top sides - this is beneficial for him learning about himself and his squad. Edited August 14, 2019 by BlueLion.

If we lose but have corrected some of the horrendous mistakes I wont mind. We are still a long long way from being anywhere near full strength and this is a game where players will want to stake a claim for a regular starting spot.

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Not going to be able to watch this live. My only hope/wish is that we don't get battered and humiliated. Two really bad losses within days to start the season won't be good for the mindset and confidence of the squad. Then we have a really tough match at the weekend. 😬 Supermonkey92 and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Football cliche alert : Score first tonight we're in with a chance they score first I can only see us getting pummelled I'm afraid. Definitely not going to watch the pre match bollocks the amount of times Istanbul and 2005 will be mentioned will be off the scale.

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I would play Pulisic from the start tonight. I think one area we could get some joy is on that right hand side of Liverpool. Salah doesn't track back nearly as much as Mane does on the left, and whilst Alexander-Arnold is an excellent player going forward, I still think his defensive game at times can be raw and suspect. That means one of Barkley and Mount for the central spot. I think Lampard will probably keep faith with Mount and Abraham tonight. It gives him the perfect opportunity early on to show how much faith and belief he has in the younger players in our squad, despite the criticism's of Mourinho and the usual media bollocks that follows. It should also be huge motivation for both that they have a point to prove that they do belong at this level. Despite a trophy on the line for this game, the Leicester game at the weekend has to take priority. This one almost feels like a bit of a free shot to get back on the pitch and start trying to right some of the wrongs from the weekend. As long as I see some progression and improvement on the weaknesses on show on Sunday then I'll be fairly content.

Barely if ever, most recent examples our cup finals last season. I am actually pretty relax this season. I have no expectation. I consider this season to be a development season. We probably won't finish 4th or go far in UCL. But as long as we are actually playing proper football both defensively and offensively, and developing player, I am good. Take united game for example, if we have better striker we probably would have won that game but it was probably not good for long term because defensively we were atrocious. Against Liverpool, I want to see better pressing structure and maybe less constant high press. Supermonkey92 and 11Drogba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
