What's new

Chelsea V Liverpool (PL) Sat 29th Sep 17:30 UK

Yeah this is an ugly football week...

Kepa

Azpi

Rudiger

Luiz

alonso 

Jorginho

Kante

Barkley

Pedro

Giroud 

Hazard

 
It will be interesting to see if we still go with Cahill for this one with Rudiger being injured.

Should be a cracking match IMO though have the Reds as the favourites at this time.

 
With this being the cup game i'd rather see us go full strength in the league a few days after. So for this:

Kepa​

Zappacosta  Christensen  D.Luiz  Alonso​

Jorginho​

Kante       Barkley​

CHO      Morata      Hazard​

This is the PL thread, the CUP thread is a different thread.

 
Lets try this again...

With this being the league game i want to see us going full strength with enough defensive cover.

Kepa​

Azpi   Rudiger   D.Luiz   Alonso​

Jorginho​

Kante     Kovacic​

Pedro     Giroud     Hazard​

Agree with your lineup though I think Rudiger has pulled his hamstring so likley Cahill or another will be needed.

 
I think this is a very important game. Hopefully we win, so that gets us back on track and stops them.

This, I accept, is stating the obvious. :smile:

 
We must not lose this game.....its a must for me. Lose and the vultures will come down hard and big pool even more up. This is not 3pts......its much more.

 
Really hope Alonso is not exposed in this game. I can see it coming though.

We need to try and do to them what West Ham did to us on Sunday, but I'm not sure we're capable of defending that strongly. I can only see us losing this, sadly.

No f**king way we will do a westham on them........Sarri will have none of it I think. He rather lose than do that.......honestly I dont think he has the ability to shut up shop like Conte could. I'll be surprised otherwise. Its just not his forte I think. Now with Pedro and Panzer gone......well not good. I just dont want to lose this match.......a win would be massive, will send a couple of signals both for us and pool.

 
Regardless of whether Sarri has the ability to shut down the shop or not doesn't matter. We're seven matches into a season where we look to change the way we've been playing for fifteen years. Not only should a team of Chelseas stature never ever park the bus at the Bridge, the signals it would send to the team would be devestating in our bid to fully transition our playing style. 

Sarri should of course, and he will, hatch out a plan to try and get the better of Liverpool - but still with his principles as the foundation. If we were to completely sway away from those principles, we might as well start the transition period all over again. I just don't think you can tell a group of footballers that: "yes, we will try to play on our premises, but since you aren't very good at it you can't do it [yet] against this and this team".

We will see. Maybe we'll lose big, maybe not. I actually think we have a better shot than what many of our own supporters gives us, let alone pundits. If we can survive the inevitable onslought of pressure Liverpool tries for the first 20-25 minutes against everybody, the game will settle. And if Hazard is at the top of his game, he'll be the best player on the pitch by a mile and then some.

Thats fair.......of course we cant just defend, what I meant was we must be aggressive and in their faces. Stable and solid in defence. Play high-line against these f**kers and we will have done much of their Work for them. As long as we give our best and dont lose.......will do me nicely.
