Just one of those teams that either play amazing against us or we completely fall apart against. Gotta just go for it and not do silly things Brentford will be all over Sanchez and our defenders. Expecting a draw but hoping we can pull off a moment of magic and get the 3 points 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMissEden 21 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 My guesses are Frustrating game Sanchez concedes 2+ goals nobody else in Chelsea history bar one Spanish jockey would. In his case it’s something missing upstairs still Shooting boots nowhere to be found — not a day where we do 4+, not a day where our best, are their best Jackson gets a frustrated goal that either equalises or claws one back.

Expecting a draw but hoping we can pull off a moment of magic and get the 3 points 😃 Yep, I’m expecting them to try to get super aggressive and physical with us to unsettle our players from minute one. Their tactic will be to press our CB’s and keeper and try to force us into mistakes like Spuds did in that opening 15-20 minutes last weekend. We clearly struggle with that when Sanchez & Badiashile are back there. Really, really hope Lavia is good to play. Without him I worry against a side like Brentford with Caicedo basically on his own in midfield as Enzo doesn’t provide much defensive help and Gusto gets panicky sometimes.

milka 3,398 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 If we win today, we will show character and resilience in a match that is expected to be won at all costs against a team that is problematic for us, but if we don't, it will show that the team is not ready.

I thought a game that with a win a team can go only 2 points behind the leaders, but they wanted to get a local derby in with 2 midtable teams.

NikkiCFC 8,377 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 (edited) Fully expected lineup but with Tosin for Badiashile who is not even on the bench just like Mudryk, Felix and Lavia. And with Fofana, James injured and Neto suspended all of the sudden we have so many players out so bench is really weak apart from Nkunku.

Pizy 18,994 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 Lavia is indeed injured again, ffs. 😫😫😫 Much more nervous about this now. bigbluewillie and mkh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 185 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 Yikes. The 11 looks solid bar some questions mark in the middle on the counter, but so many missing all of a sudden. Let’s hope there are no serious injuries. Quite strange that there were no fitness questions at the press conference. COYB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMissEden 21 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 (edited) Bench is fine, we literally have a goal machine, an in form goalscorer, between two of them, our best youngsters this season, the rest either being versatile or like for like for XI switches. How is that not a good bench. If was City would be ooooo look at how many youngsters they already have ready. Look at Nkunku being a /bench/ option. Explosiveness up front between three of them, a tempo controller in one of them, a makeshift destroyer if need be as has been fine so far. Chill 😆 Edited December 15, 2024 by IMissEden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 So that’s now 3 incredible results for us in the same weekend. Maybe 4 if you still consider Brighton a top 4 threat. What a GIGANTIC 3 points it would be if we take care of business. Would allow us to have a pretty nice cushion in case this young team goes off form a bit and slips up a couple of times. Please just win, lads!!! Any way necessary, just fucking WIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted December 15, 2024 Author Share Posted December 15, 2024 With Man City losing it has been about as good of results as we could hope for. Now we need to do our part to get some separation. Vesper and bigbluewillie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
