Keep it nil-nil for the first twenty minutes, I fancy us to get a draw at least.

 

Ben Arfa just run at John Terry at any given oppertunity, he'll get past him everytime. Terry might even lose the plot and hoof him up the arse

Could well be the key, but he'll be on the end of several crunching challenges that the ref will bottle carding any Chelski players over.

This is excactly how we are gonna get beat, we approach the game like a lower-table team and we will get twatted.

The only way of winning this is having a go at them, which we wont. Shame.

I don't mean sit back and defend, just don't be 2 nil down after ten minutes. They are going to come out of the tracks fast, we just need to hold our nerve while trying to create a couple of chances ourselves.

 

Alot depends on how Pardew sets us up. If we go out to defend for 90 minutes we will get beat 5 nil or worse

Yer, I know what you mean. My worry is that Pardew will set us up to lie low and Counter. It would work aside from the fact that i fancy anyone 1v1 vs Williamson and most wingers vs simpson...

 

The only way to let those two look good and somewhat competent is to apply pressure higher up the pitch. Will we dare to do that?

Playing a high line will suit Chelsea down to the ground. They'll soak it up and catch us out on the break. They don't even need quick players to be able to counter, as we have so little pace across our back 4.

Colo has canny pace tbf. Williamson is 1/4 snail though

Because its worked so well before when we've played a high line against pacy teams

 

Be that as it may, some of those results were with perch/guthrie etc in central mid. I`d rather we try to attack than park the bus, we have nothing to lose. Id rather lose 3-0 having a go than 1-0 parking the bus. At least we went for it.
