The Chelsea F.C. Thread IV

Yet keep a clean sheet at Old Trafford and the Emirates. Tell me about it

What is up with the timestamps...9Mm are you from the future?

All but 1, maybe 2, were absolutely ****e goals to concede too, wouldn't mind as much if they were sick goals but most of them were just embarrassing. Only 1 goal conceded in our last 5 games though so hopefully we've fixed that problem. Suppose we have yet to travel to the Etihad but I don't really fancy City to be putting 4+ past us, not confident about getting a result though.

Got a good feeling about the run of form we're on, seem to finally be finding our feet and actually playing well. Joint second best defense in the league with Everton, 1 more goal conceded than Arsenal, pretty ****ing annoying how we managed to concede 6 against Stoke and Sunderland.

Yea I'm getting this as well, in the United thread.

I'm slyly confident we'll get a draw. Jeez I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up winning from a good counter attack because the City defence is not that great sometimes.


Okay winning is stretching it a bit, but hey I can dream

It happened a lot when I was quoted on this thread in my old account. That problem seems to have been fixed with the new one.

Personally I'm more scared of liverpool away than City away. Liverpool have the same home record as us, they've drawn there once and won the rest of their matches.

Against City away, we'll just sit back and counter attack. If we do that they'll have no space to play.

What about Utd at home? We seem to have trouble against average teams at home these days

If we can win that match, then I don't see us dropping any more points at home till the end of the season, which may be enough to win the title.

Apparently (didn't watch it) Moyes said Rooney and RVP might not be back for the 2nd leg against Sunderland, which is after we play them. Without those two it *should* be a walk in the park tbf, even with them I still think we should win bar one of those two bringing a world class performance.

Yeah I watched the game and Utd's best player was the 18yr old and seemed to be the only one capable of doing anything in attack, Ki won the battle in MF against them as well, so in theory we should be fine

Meant to say in his post match interview, but yeah, provided they haven't found a quality CM to sign I think we'll be fine, would like to think we might have bought someone by then anyway. And I honestly can't decide if Januzaj is incredible or just being flattered by a lack of quality attacking team mates...

Lack of quality attacking team mates.

I'm a glass half empty guy tbf but when your options is a one footed player who plays like an RB and a 40 year old guy who's been past it for 3 seasons I don't think that's down to brilliance.

Slightly more confident of a result against Liverpool for me given how well we played against them at home, whereas we were quite fortunate to win against City. Undoubtedly our two hardest remaining fixtures though.

It's a Liverpool time rift. They (Liverpool fans) are trying to make a joint effort in turning back time to the glory days by singing YNWA backwards in unison; disturbing the time continuum in the process. They can't defend set pieces for ****, nor can they properly turn back the years

We should've been home and and dry against City at half time. We kept them out, then we had 3-4 gilt-edged chances in the last 10 minutes of the half and shoudl've been at least 2-0 up. They score from an unlikely angle right at the start of the second half. We have to come out and play so they ultimately look better because they have a better group of players. The circumstances of our goal is fortunate, but City didn't really create anything clear cut throughout the game. Liverpool created more clear-cut chances against us at the Bridge.

Btw, I think we'll beat United at the Bridge. We have Arsenal, Spurs and Everton to come who are in better league positions so we should be more worried by their arrival. I do genuinely think Januzaj is a very good player. He looks more important to the team than Ronaldo was when he was 18. Januzaj looks much better than Ronaldo when he was 18. Ronaldo was literally just doing pointless tricks like 3 step-overs on the spot. I'm not saying Januzaj will become a better player than Ronaldo at all, because it took Ronaldo 3 years to actually find out what he's good at (shooting (long range), heading, free kicks, movement in the box) and when that was clear, he became a top player.

Anyway, Januzaj looks like he knows what he's doing. Seems composed on the ball and knows how to evade players as well as having a good passing range and a decent amount of pace. He's only 18 and he shouldn't be playing too much too soon. You only have to take a look at what happened to Michael Owen to see that it's not healthy for your team to rely on you so heavily when you haven't even reached 20.

You know Moyes has lost it when he keeps on blaming the referees...

ManU won't sack him coz Fergie wants him...gosh it's so awkward. Bet fergie must be thinking "what a tosser"
