What's new

Chelsea v Man Utd (PL) Mon 17th Feb 20:00 GMT

We need to win this or the next league game, losing both would be really sad.

I don't even care about Champions league, sure we can compete against Bayern (I don't expect we can win over two legs but we can go out without humiliation) but at the end of the day we have a new young team that should just be happy for getting this experience.

We lost our best player, our best player after him has been injured all year, have a young manager and integrating youngsters who make mistakes while learning. It will be embarrassing for Spurs and United if they dont overhaul us, not the other way around for us if they overtake us.

Plus all the pressure for this game is on united. 6 behind us. They have to win. They cannot afford to loose with the form of Spurs, Sheff United and Wolves. Everton too.

Jammy as f**k. Honestly how they’ve got 6 points playing so badly in last two games is unbelievable! At least they’re playing badly though!

That is the worrying part. Playing badly and getting points is a sign of a good team especially with Kane out. i would prefer if we played badly and won compared to play nice and dropping like we have been for the past 2 months. 

It is imperative we win our next  2 league games, i could care less about bayern

I'm not sure about this game against ManUtd because we have looked a bit clueless against them and they have been doing well in big games...But against Spurs we can maybe try with the 3-4-3 like last time when Jose wasn't prepared for it. Maybe if ManUnited are desperate to win against us we might do a counter attack formation against them and secure a tactical victory as well. I trust in Lampard and I think our key players will show up and do a good game tomorrow, will it be enough well a lot of things can happen...

      That is just our perspective because we are chelsea fans. All people will see is that we had a 12 point lead in the 4th position and bottled it if we dont get the 4th position. Fair enough we lost Hazard and kante hasnt been the same player after his injury but United have lost Pogba ,Mctominey and Rashford for a considerable amount of time and Spurs will be missing kane for half season

Both games contain and counter. Both our opponents come needing the win more than we do imo. Let's make it hard for them. Sit deep.

Willy Cab

James

Azpi

Rudiger

Tomori

Alonso

Kante

Willian

Kovacic

Mount

Abraham

 
Big game for Frank. He has been rolled twice by OGS and needs to show a bit of innovation to find a way to win. 

These matches are what separate the wheat from the chaff. We need to win.

Exactly. All well and good when you have the team you have been building like Klopp to stick to your style game in and game out.

In these next two games we need to abandon our offensive style and pick one to mess up the opposition.

in fairness it wasn't Franks' fault.....we just didn't have anyone that could put chances away that we did create....He certainly needs to change things up; the midfield without Kovacic IMO is weak and not making any contribution; the back four have fallen back to their old habits and the forward players can't score worth sh*te...apart from that we look good

The we played better but could not finish card is something Wenger pulled for years on and we all laughed at him for.

What matters is simply what ends up in the net and who wins. The rest is conjecture. 

I reckon we can win but we need to be smart. None of the naivety of the first game thanks. If we do win it would go a long way to securing fourth.

 
I really can't predict, I want to be optimistic, but United are so unpredictable and they've had their best games against the top 6. I really hope our players rise to the occasion like they did at Tottenham and Arsenal away, and please do not play like we did against Arsenal at home, that was a pathetic performance.

I agree, I'm not interested in any of the "but we didn't finish our chances" nonsense anymore, it's happening far too many games for it to be down to luck.

Will be interesting to see how we perform after the winter break. The players should, in theory, be refreshed and raring to go. 

 
Massive game, we win this and we all but end Utds chances of catching us, we drop points and anyone from Utd up can catch us. Biggest game in Lampards managerial career so far, hopefully we find some way of converting chances and stop leaking late goals.

 
This feels like the defining game for our entire season. By far the most important game of the season in my view.
