must admit, I LOL when Don Maurizio was complaining about Eden in training - now we need Eden to come out & complain about practice ala Allen Iverson

Brings great football style for CFC whilst still keeping alive our fighting spirit and ability to counter efficiently. Btw, I think we will defeat dippers at SB. 

I think Liverpool will be fired up after we beat them. You could tell we rattled them. Their high press will be interesting and also if we are able to defend against them. They should have scored 2/3 times really on Wednesday. 

Would love a win but maybe 1-1.

Cheers for posting it.

Game Day v  Liverpool at The Bridge.

Come on Chelsea !

Take any Chelsea win, but a draw wouldn't be the worst result .

For the sake of football and all it stands for let's beat this horrible club, and its skanky fans,  sh*t never sticks to them, but still the media loves them, history, atmosphere and all that crap, it's never their fault, forever the victims, can't wait till the bridge today, carefree

GAMEDAY!!! COME ON CHELS!!!

Match day,come on you blues !

Any news on Pedro? Big loss if he's out of this one, need his creativity. Also Fingers crossed Van Dick is still injured! Giroud needs to start this one over Morata who's confidence is looking shot to pieces :s

Anyway hoping for a season performance from Chelsea against the dippers, big statement if we get all 3 points today.

Come on you blues! Carefree wherever we may be!

 

Big match today. Liverpool will want revenge for us ending their unbeaten record. I hope Rudiger and Pedro are fit. This will be a different game to the one midweek. I'm not too confident with their three pronged attack. Let's hope we can stop them. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

We need a huge performance from Eden Hazard. They’re going to be scared sh*tless of him, especially after last Wednesday. Let’s hope he delivers us the win!

They are coming to the bridge, Jorginho is going to pass the arse of em!

Liverpool is a team that depends entirely on the mistakes by the opponents. their passing accuracy is one of the lowest, so is the possession, they can't create a lot because the focking Henderson and Milner are starters, so basically it's the same team of the last seasons + Van Djik. Stop giving them so much credit, damn it. they haven't earned it yet. 

Sorry, but I just cannot take you seriously if you think this Liverpool team rely on their opponents making mistakes. I've now seen the game and after a good first 30 mins we were second best the rest of the match. Liverpool got through us so easily, the defence was dire and but for the final ball and finishing they would have won fairly easily. Liverpool fans are saying that that all they have to do is turn up with their A game, stop Hazard and with our high line they'll be albe to thrash us. Hope they are wrong and though things are moving in the right direction for the future, this defence and lack of good protection in front of them we have got away with a lot this season and sooner or later we'll be in for a bg defeat. I fear this Liverpool team, even more so than City, is the team to give it us.

Did you read what you wrote after the BIB?!

Seeing the way west Ham look like Real Madrid against Man U, 1-0 up already, I’m not as disappointed with the draw where we dominated them, they are playing good football under peligrini

I do agree, but tbf they were missing their star player and a couple of others too. Its still a disappointing result but not as bad when you factor in they just defended for 90 mins and we dominated

massive game!

funny game this one, chelsea at home yet the scouse are the ones under pressure, hopefully a seed of doubt was sewn the other night, chelsea win this one and the wheels could start coming off the scouse wagon already !! how fcuking funny would that be !!

They’ve got some big fixtures round the corner too including City.... I guess we do too in United but I know who I’d rather taken on right now 

My heart tells me I think we will give it a go and get a narrow victory......my head says that the Liverpool front 3 will rip our dodgy defence apart.

no pedro in the squad today. Its the same line up like vs Westham

No pedro in the squad. 

Nervous because this is the 1st big game we have gone into knowing that we will play a very open game. Could lose 3 nil, could win 3 nil. 

Under conte and mourinho it always felt like the big matches would be a tight draw or won by the odd goal. 

If can dominate like we did in the 1st 30 minutes on Wednesday, I think we will comfortably, but any sloppy passes could be the death of us today. 

Come on boys.

Not sure we will beat Liverpool 3-0. More likely to win by a small margin, draw or concede 3/4. Their defence is a lot more solidified now, more so than ours. Our defence can still get better.
