roonst83 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The Norwich win really was essential as we now run into a few tough games starting with Mourinho's boys at VP. We were excellent at the Bridge in August but they have come on massively since then and look good for the title. For some reason I never fear this fixture as much as against the likes of Citeh, Man Utd or Arsenal...but i'm not expecting anything but a loss. So hopefully the boys can prove me wrong, dig deep and get something out of this. Anything other than a loss would be massive for us. My fear is if we start slow as we did against Norwich then Hazard and co will tear us a new one and it could be curtains by HT. I'd probably keep the same team as against Norwich for this one.

JoshVilla Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'd play Clark at LB for this. It may not be as helpful for getting forward as playing Luna or Bennett would be, but we need solidity. I doubt we'll get anything out of it, but a Man City/Southampton style smash and grab would be cool. Plus, I f**king hate Chelsea, and Mourinho can do one too, so I'd certainly love to wipe the smug grin off of his face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The Norwich game was a blur. Our shitty home form will continue i reckon.0-4 Eto'o x2, Lampard and Schurrle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) He might even play 3 CB's and play 2 wingers also 2 wins in 3 home games scoring 8 goals is not a bad run Edited March 11, 2014 by lmarsha_926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'd play. Think we can get something if we stifle and hit on the break. I love these games.

Popular Post Rodders Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 We're owed a ref who's not a bent prick too, unlike last time round. A shitty match with lots of unfair decisions falling our way culminating in a last minute villa winner and terry,lampard and ivanovic all being sent off for no reason please. Would then accept that "these things even out over time" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
