Badboy 1,526 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I forgot about this game the Torres frenzy just blew me away, Drogba will get a hat-trick tonight ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Right hopefully the squad have unlimited confidence now that we've made 2 huge signings. Ivanovic, Drogba, Anelka & Malouda will be on their A-game tonight (at least, they better be)I'm worried about over-confidence... Hopefully it wont be an issue, but Sunderland aren't a bad team... I'm going for the glass half empty approach. 1-1. Malouda 85th min equaliser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm worried about over-confidence... Hopefully it wont be an issue, but Sunderland aren't a bad team... I'm going for the glass half empty approach. 1-1. Malouda 85th min equaliserGood approach there GZ. Not only Sunderland, but all the so called lesser teams will raise their game and want the Chelsea scalp. Like after the mad spending spree of 2004-5. What Ancellotti has to do now -and what Wilkins was good at - was to psychologically raise the players. Hopefully the signings will have a positive effect and gee up the others......

King11Didier 916 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Maybe when Torres play.But i prefer this:CechIvan - Luiz - JT - ColeEssBoss/Ramires - MaloudaLampardTorres - Drogba ) But this can be only experiment in not important match(if we win against København in first match with 0-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeh Carlo just needs to calm them,build up a bit of confidence so we dont play so much like we're scared to move but at the same time remembering what they sodding did to us at the Bridge and aint a push overEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Drogba and Anelka better start improving dramatically after the signing of Torres or we will know how really bad their blip is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Back to real football. 3 points are vital and I'd take a win by a 90min own goal. Still have to underline the importance of not losing as may become England's laughing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I do believe we'll win but not by much. I've got three score lines in mind: 1:0; 2:1 or 2:0. I do believe Nico and DD understand they've got to improve when Torres is breathing down their necks. As far as Ivanovic is concerned, he'll get starting XI even if Luiz(not against S'land yet) starts, in my eyes anyway as Ivan is a world class right back, he played that role superbly last season and start of this one. Someone mentioned the 4-1-2-1-2 formation, seems sweet. All of a sudden we seem to have OPTIONS. When Zhirkov, Alex and Benayoun return, we'll have world class bench aswell. Lets hope for the best blues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Reckon we can nick third mind you,and Arsenal usually fall apart around this time so hopfully...we wont this time and volia push ourselves upBe happyish with 3rd to be honest after two months of pure shiteYeah same here with me. I think we can push ourselves to get at least 3rd or even second if we can. You did say Arsenal can crumble at this time of the season. Especially when they've failed to bring any players in, so it will be hard for them to stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Samir Nasri is injured aswellonly for 3 weeks though, which is fairly a short time, and doesn't really count for muchThankfully, most of Arsenal's players are injury prone.

Milan 17,958 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Time to forget Nando and Luiz for a while a fully concentrate on this important game. They are not here, they will not win the game for us. Therefore rely on Kalou Just kidding. Hopefully the team will do their best and will be coming home with three points.
