PieFacE Posted March 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2023 I'm not sure why but I feel like whenever there's an International break, we usually come back to a poor performance. Maybe some statto can prove me wrong. Not seeing much but a loss here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't help when you come back from International break and Gerrards still your manager This time it might be different. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2023 We're rubbish after breaks and it seems fate has decided we're finishing 11th at best, so we're not winning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I think it will probably be the same line-up as last game just with young coming in for cash. I reckon we will see diego carlos start against forest. Maybe kamara to start against leicester. Kamara seems to recover insanely quick from bad injuries. Martinez Young Konsa Mings Moreno Bailey Mcginn Luiz Ramsey Buendia Watkins Bench: Olsen, Sinisalo, Carlos, Chambers, Digne, Dendoncker, Kamara, Traore, Duran Pressure is all on chelsea this game. Imagine their fans if we beat them and they drop into the bottom half of the table. It would be so beautiful to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the negativity in the dressing room and on the training pitch will be mostly forgotten now and they get a reset. I really think that this break may have swung the result in their favour. Had we have played them last week, we'd have beaten them. Can't see it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astondalston Posted March 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2023 It's an all too familiar cycle... Great performances building up to the international break, followed by a balloon popping defeat on our return. But if anyone can break the loop, its this man... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincenzo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Don’t know why, but I fancy us…not totally convinced with Chelsea under Potter atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 A win here and we go into the top ten, regardless of any other result. That should be all the incentive required to perform well and get a positive result. I’d be so tempted to put Kamara straight back in if ready, as he’s such a quality performer, but if Emery wishes to be cautious and start him on the bench then so be it. The rest pick themselves, with only Young coming in for Cash I guess? Chelsea are a funny side right now, with an embarrassment of riches and talent, but keeping them all happy is perhaps causing Potter a real selection headache. Silva and Fofana missing at the back for them is surely a real plus for us and let’s hope Watkins and co can capitalise on that? I feel strangely positive for this: Martinez Young Konsa Mings Moreno McGinn Luiz Buendia Ramsey Bailey Watkins Subs: Olsen, Sinisalo, Digne, Carlos, Chambers, Kamara, Dendoncker, Traore, Duran Would be a real statement to win this and may get a few more of us believing that a top seven spot is still achievable. The gut is telling me a 0-1 win but I think 1-1 could be a likely result. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
