We'd still have extra games to play but seen what we can do and we don't do it well.. Gotta start winning at home! Could be wrong with the maths but I think the maximum both Arsenal and Spurs can get is 73 points. That is assuming they draw against each other and both win their other remaining games. If one beats the other, the losing team can only get to 72 points, again assuming they win their other 5 games. So with our goal difference we need 11 points from final 7 games and 10 if one was to beat the other. It really shouldn't come to that point, and realistically I wouldn't trust either team to win their remaining games. Spurs for starters have to go to Anfield. But playing devil's advocate, I think the best result would be Arsenal to beat Spurs as I'd also be shocked if they went and won at Anfield. It would leave us needing 7 points from 7 games. It'll be interesting to see how West Ham approach their game against us. They will have had a week's rest but the Frankfurt game for them is far more important. Do they rest players or play within themselves at the weekend? Hopefully we're a lot more focussed and on it and they have their minds elsewhere.

Pizy 18,928 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Oh, and of course, Christensen picks up his 854th injury in his time at Chelsea. Get this soft fucking clown out ASAP. Ship his ass to Barca now. Sick to death of him. Someone breathes in his direction and he gets hurt. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura90 556 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Take away our three best players Rudiger, Havertz and 37 years old Silva, bench Jorginho after his abysmal shows and we are a pub team. James is injury prone who probably plays RCB because Tuchel is saving him for the final. Sarr and Chalobah are the reason we were confident even though our defenders refused to sign extensions? If Rudiger starts saving his body a la Christensen we may as well lose that top four place and put in jeopardize our future regarding expected sale. Worrying times ahead. CL was a bless. And pure luck. We would probably need to wait for another one to win another trophy. Or Europa League. Domestic referees had us in their pocket. League is distant dream. Middle of the table future. With these management. Too much money spent to have pub team after removing three players. We have been the worst run team for the past five years and counting. If everyone of us make summer players out list, it would have at least half of the first team and almost all reserves in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't become a drama and doesn't need to be a drama. In a ideal world hopefully get 3rd wrapped up before the final that's before the end again.

I'd be surprised and really upset if we don't see a reaction at the weekend from the team and likely something more akin to what would be our strongest XI based on who is available. For West Ham, they have to have one eye on Frankfurt. It's possibly the biggest game of a generation for them, and offers their only realistic opportunity of Champions League football. We must take advantage of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sarr, Kristensen and of course Lukaku are pretty useless. It was a deliberately depleted side but also no one seemed to really care. The pen was a pen. Azpi dragged the man like circus clown and it was n't a dangerous cross either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out he's not that young, but what caught my attention is that he appears to be good on the ball, but also a bit overconfident? The defense consistently failed to perceive danger, and those times demand a different approach to defending. It feels that Rudiger is the only physical CB we've got and we are lost when he does not play. Edited April 21, 2022 by robsblubot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Mendy has not looked himself since the AFCON. Their 2nd and 3rd goals were something a prime Mendy would have dealt with comfortably. Hope he turns it around against West Ham. He had a stinker against them earlier this season. Would be a good chance at redemption. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this soft fucking clown out ASAP. Ship his ass to Barca now. Sick to death of him. Someone breathes in his direction and he gets hurt. I give Christensen credit for his CL final performance. But for the most part he has always come across as such as a passive, weak player. Never plays any penetrating passes from defense (when in the central role) and shies away easily from challenges. And made of glass. His mind is no longer at the club. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Fucking hate losing to these lot. Their insufferable fans will keep gloating about it too. Would prefer United over either of the London clubs to make it into top 4. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The defense was a shambles. At this rate 4th place is in jeopardy well and truly. Up front Lukaku was useless. I prefer Pulisic one thousand times. The man runs, takes part in the game, scores some goals too. Lukaku is such an idle barge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 i had a bad feeling going in to this game after Arsenal were on a losing streak, i just knew these cunts would play out of their skins against us, so fucking typical.

Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) the thing is, it’s all in our hands to secure top 4, we have a bigger GD, head to head advantage against Spurs, Arse has the head to head advantage against us now. We need to sort ourselves out against the hammers, no time to dwell on this shit result, we march on. No more Lukaku and Sarr in the starting 11 pls Edited April 21, 2022 by Johnnyeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This whole fuck up, is down to Tuchel, the team he picked, the system he played, and the personnel he chose. I have no idea of his thinking, i don't think he does, not seen anything as ridiculous since Ranieri. What the fuck was that 3 CB's about. Why is he playing Dave and James out of position? Add to that fucking Lukaku, hope that is the last we see of him...ever. We have no creation in MF so who does he play RLC and Kante. Glad I turned it off, got up this morning to find out the result 2-4 fucking disgusting. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will play their best team against us then in their games against Arsenal the following week, they will rest players as it is only 3 days after they play Frankfurt. Arsenal, I still don't think will catch us but cannot rule it out. I expect them to beat United and they play West Ham at a good time as West Ham will rest some players and generally will not be as fresh. For me Sunday is a must win game just to ensure we don't get in a panicky top 4 race. I just dreaded this kind of result tbh. Arsenal have this knack for beating us every season now, it is really starting to do my head in. Laylabelle and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The boss also explained Christensen’s half-time withdrawal… 'He said he could not continue so I think he had some problems and that’s why.' In other words, Christensen has shat himself again. Unbelievable this guy. Johnnyeye, Blue Armour and bigbluewillie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
