Chelski build up...

[red g]

I'll be amazed if Hilario or the other clown dont give the performance of their lives. Like when we went there, absolutely battered them, Cudicini got MOTM and we lost 4-0!

We always get the keepers that have the blinders......remember massimo tiabi? Man of the match against us

I wouldnt even let Skrtel near the team bus at the moment, let alone the pitch.

Kyrgiakos and Carra for me, Drogba will murder Skrtel the way he's playing at the moment.

He'll probably tear Carra a new one whilst he's at it like what he does everytime he plays us

3-1 Chelsea.

[wiw]

I think a lot depends (obviously) on how both teams approach the game. Last night it was pretty clear that if you press us high in the middle and drop back out wide we really struggle to break it down, which was to do with a combo of us losing the ball constantly and the way we attack with lots of defensive width. We were too quick to vacate midfield as well (Aurelio fs )

If we play like yesterday and lose the ball constantly we'll get absolutely murdered by Chelsea's midfield. I can see us doing the usual big away game set up - tight back 6, width high up. We should be a lot more compact and counter-attack more rather than push up

Riera has to play for me, like someone else mentioned

Carra simply can't deal with him, and both he and Drogba know it.

one thing is for certain, we need masher at the very top of his game.

[FatTony]

This will be the most defensive line up we have seen for many a year.

[Marky]

Looking for a big game from Gerrard, he hasn't really got going this season.

I want to see a captain's performance.

It's gunna be ****e. We both have too much to lose and it will be one of our old fashioned 0-0 draws with no-one daring to break.

1 points better than 3 and move onto the next.

On the other hand my heart says no Cech, and Torres rarely as 2 quiet games in a row......

I'd take a draw if it was offered now to be honest.

Taking a draw will screw us in the end. A draw is dropping 2 points. Playing for the win is only risking dropping a further 1.

We need to go all out every game. No mercy. No surrender. No accepting a loss of 2 points. Ever.

It's not as simple as that. A loss not only deprives us of the 1 point a draw would've given us, but it also gives THEM and extra points they wouldnt have had with a draw.

Lets get real here people, if we go out for the draw with the way we're defending at present then we're ****ed.
2 or 3 years ago when we were solid in defence we maybe could of got away with it but not now.
Besides we have players capable of causing them plenty of problems.
Attack, attack, attack.
