It doesn't help our attackers can't score to save their lives.

frankly, they're not much use on the high press either.

aren't we supposed to play a high line and press? Do we ever pin a team back?

We dont press anymore......we do not move the ball at high speeds either.......and the players move very slow compared to the first 10-12 games. Sarri needs to motivate them more if thats the issue.....if they dont deliver bench their asses. He needs to be ruthless or go bust.....he is the boss and he nneeds to act to get over this blip.

This makes me think we just might bring back Tammy Abraham.

Well Loftus-Cheek has been inspiring and took enough of the chances that Sarri gave him to prove himself so he has been playing with a good amount of motivation.
I could argue that Kante is also trying his best and that he is more dangerous in attack and has been making good runs.

But these two can't make the likes of Morata and Willian to change their sh*t character, 1 Morata drags down even Hazard.

David Luiz can take his knee pads off now Aguero is ruled out.

Sarri doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his pre match presser  basically we have no chance unless all the stars are aligned .

Doesn't REALLY matter what he says in his press conferences. That's not the pep talk players look at anyway. 

I wonder if he will play our other LB, Palmieri tomorrow.

We could certainly do with a few crosses regardless whether it is Morata or Giroud in the middle.

Exactly. It has been one of the things Sarri has criticised the team for.

That has a totally different meaning where I'm from... lol

Maybe he meant both ways, Aguero would have just stuffed it in his face by bagging a hattrick. 

Sadly I don't think the outcome of this game is in any doubt. I'll be delighted to be wrong but I think we're heading for another loss.

The word from the camp today is Sarri cancelled training and instead made the players watch films all day.... Zulu, The Alamo, and The Battle of Agincourt.

Just to get in the zone.

Not bothered if we lose so long as they all show some f**kin passion and fight.

Surely you mean The Great Escape.

That’s f*cking awesome. Hopefully the players will be like this tomorrow...

 

I have a feeling we'll lead by 1 goal for most of the match and they'll get a late equaliser to draw the game.

I will take that happily!

Hazard better show up today with his little jab comment. 

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES ! Think i will give the board of misery a miss for a while if the result goes against us.

On the? bus down to London. Cautiously optimistic now. We? need to get at them. The blueprint on how to beat them was la?yed down by Liverpool last season and even Bristol City used it to good effect. We need Hazard to have a blinder. Let’s at least have a go. COYB
