Here he is....

 

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

I liked Pochettino's presser however he might not clap his hands after this game. We need to play 1000-times better than against Forest. We were so horrible for most of that game. Good thing is Brighton attacks us and isn't a counter attacking side. 

I just watched Ange's post match presser and he expressed what Jose and Conte before him expressed. Tottenham is broken on a foundational level. This is something we can't have at Chelsea. Gladly Pochettino knows this (Chelsea is about winning) and has spoken about it all season long. 

Anyway we need to face these two games like Chelsea's history demands. Go all out and try to win. 

GAMEDAY!! COME ON CHELS!!

Win it all, take the maximum and save it to the next season. There's positivity all around the club, things starting to look different and it's nice to have it after too much sh*t we had this season. 

Would be nice to end the season by battering these and finishing 6th, as they slip back into obscurity. 

Brighton will be up for this I think.

There's only one result to play for, fail and 6th place becomes harder.  5th is even possible on goal difference if the results of our nearby rivals fall our way...but that's hoping for a lot.   

I fancy Sheffield Utd to turn over Spurs so two wins might even take us 5th.

How funny would it be if we finished above them?

I fancy Man Utd to take a point or 3 from Newcastle too. Isak and Wilson struggling with fitness. 

I'm seriously thinking about about watching the ladies beat spurs ass instead of the Brighton match.

Come on you blues, another MUST WIN game.

Anything less than 3 points probably means no europa league, I can’t see an injury ravaged Man Utd getting anything more than 1 point against Newcastle.

It would really be nice if we can smash Brighton tonight by 5 or 6 goals, to get abit closer to Newcastle’s goal difference.

Their goal difference is 22, ours is 12.

Over the last month or so I’m feeling a bit more positive than most on here, not that hard I guess, but I have bad feeling about tonight’s match.  Hopefully I’m very wrong.
 

Caicedo is finishing the season strong add Jackson’s late flurry of form, maybe Madueke, and Mudryk doing the same would be lovely.  On the negative side I have no hope for our defense though.

Chelsea 3-0

Still don’t trust this team so not expecting a win. Draw but more likely a lost.

Seagulls will want to out one over on us.

Nothing is certain mi amigo. 

WTF?

Badiashile AGAIN 

HE IS sh*t

Strong bench at last.

Unfortunately I think we’ll drop points. We’re still conceding way too many goals.

Yeah and is now on Trev to hold together a defence when he has Badiashile on one side and a Gusto wanting to get forward on the other, while Cucu is likely inverting.

Defending against Dunk and Webster might be fun.

I don't think players feel this is a must win game. Sorry. 

Joao Pedro back up front for them. He is a decent centre forward.
