September 30, 20178 yr 4 hours ago, Pendergast said: I actually like Aguero a lot, he seems to be a very humble guy for professional football player. Despite what happened between him and Luiz I really believe that. So I hope he will fully recover quickly. Pep said they will try to monopolise the ball and play what they usually do. Wrong! That means he didn't finish his homework. Even Le Arse showed up with defensive tactics after all these humiliations and embarrassments. So I'm quite confident about this one. You cant just come to the Bridge, trying to monopolise the ball and hope you will get the 3 points. That never happens. They have to score 2 goals from 2 or chances in first 30 minutes so they can hope this tactics will give some positive. Which is not happening, especially with Aguero injured. 2-1 or 2-0 depends on Thibaut mental condition which is very unstable. Pep has always been a rigid and inflexible coach. He likes to make his sides adjust to his preferred playing style rather than adapt to the squad at hand. Also, he doesn't seem to have a Plan B when his possession-oriented style comes up against defensively sound counter-attacking sides. This is why, unlike Conte, SAF or even Mourinho at his peak, he cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. He basically relies on powerful/expensive sides to get results and this won't change unless he adapts more. Edited September 30, 20178 yr by DaRick
September 30, 20178 yr As good as mourinho was 2006 I prefer Conte. I think we have the eworlds best manager

We have the talent to beat them I just doubt we have the legs too after Wednesdays super effort. Haha when do you ever predict we will win? City as a side can beat us under pep they won't, he is too stubborn, city is a higher quality Arsenal, if we are at it we will always beat them, the result depends on us because we have the formula Edited September 30, 20178 yr by DonAntonio

Jose was very good in big matches, I don't think he ever lost a cup final he got to, as far as I can remember. We lost to a sh*t Arsenal in the FA cup and then again in the Charity Shield. if Conte can continue what he's doing, but add that big match nous, then I'd agree.
September 30, 20178 yr If we win today i'd say we have had the best start to the season of the lot. United would still be three points ahead of us but they haven't faced a decent team yet while we will have faced Totteham away and Arsenal and City at home after tonight.

September 30, 20178 yr This is another big one. Pity about Aguero and wish him a speedy recovery. Mendy also out so is our Luiz. I think we stand a reasonably good chance of bringing the bacon home.

Tends to be better if I don't feel confident and predict us to win. I felt very confident for the fa cup final, for Burnley and arsenal at home as well. So yeah.
September 30, 20178 yr Another massive game. Man Utd will beat Palace so we don't want to slip too far behind them. Even missing Aguero, Mendy and Kompany, Citeh have plenty of talent to rip us apart. We need to press as we did against Atletico. Don't let Citeh play their game. It's a hard one to predict. Let's hope we do it. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!
September 30, 20178 yr After watching our performance during the week, if we turn up and play the way we can, we'll win. Hazard is basically fresh and we've no injuries. Morata is on great form, everyone is gelling with him.
September 30, 20178 yr A Steward: “ Oi Luiz you are not in team the sheet tonight go back to dressing room , you got red carded ... Sideshow" Luiz : “ok ok ok , let me make sure the cameraman miss me going into warm-up session" Cameraman: “ Heheh Ok Luiz stop it" Steward : “ get a room you two for god sake"
September 30, 20178 yr Getting closer to kickoff. Any of you at the Bridge already? I was able to make this match last April, the 2-1 winner. Hope to see the same result today. I love match days at the Bridge, especially the buzz when playing the likes of City, United, etc. How is the weather looking for the match? Be loud all of you at the game and Keep the Blue Flag Flying High!! Come on you Chelsea!!

September 30, 20178 yr 1 minute ago, charierre said: Looks solid to me. I am good with Azpilicueta on the wing in replace of Moses for this one. Good bench, too. I like the three man midfield so we can get Cesc in there. Come on you Chelsea!!
September 30, 20178 yr Just now, timetowaste said: Hmm bit of a weird defence, why wouldn't you play Moses or Zappacosta? The azpi morata combo I guess
September 30, 20178 yr 2 minutes ago, lukecfc said: The azpi morata combo I guess If Azpi is the one going wide, could be Rudiger but you'd think Conte would want someone fast that side especially if Sane is playing
September 30, 20178 yr Pumped for this, really think we can get to their back 4 in a big way. Lets do this Chelsea!!
September 30, 20178 yr Interesting that he's chosen to play Azpi at RWB instead of Zappacosta and start Cahill.
