Chelski build up...

[el matador]

For me, they're a top class side and that's what makes them threatening. We are too, but our defence has been more wayward than their's has so far. Plus they are at home.

It's our most difficult game by far. But it could also go either way.

It's all about who steps up and performs on the day.

I probably should have put it like that in the first place.

We havent played well against any decent side we've come across - spurs, villa, fiorentina. Hopefully that will change against chelsea but i cant see us keeping a clean sheet.

Its about how many we score

[Craig_H]

Did you really suggest Brian McBride?

[Lee]

I'd start Kyrgiakos in this one.

I have no worries with our front four / five / six, but our defence is shocking right now... I say stick Kyrgiakos in for Skrtel to cope with Drogba's strength.

**** knows what sort of game it will be, but I'm quietly confident

[el matador]

Did you really suggest Brian McBride?

yes. Have to hold my hand up to that one. I was right behind him until i realised he was forty something.

nevertheless, it will haunt me until the day I die.

The form we're in now - chelsea are the last team i would want to play.

What, 6 wins in 7?

[red g]

thinking Agger will start this game. Could do with his composure.

[el matador]

What, 6 wins in 7?

yes but there's an underlying uneasiness about our form this season. We've beaten the lesser teams easily but the half decent sides have caused us a lot of problems.

My formation for tomorrow would be

.................................Reina............ .................

............skrtel..........carragher..........agg er

Johnson.........masherano.........gerrard......... aurelio

.............................benayoun............. ...............

...................torres................kuyt..... ................


johnson can attack without feeling guilty about being a **** defender, gerrard can influence the tempo of our game and yossi can play in behind the front two. Our left side will provide quality and composure with agger and aurelio.

I dont see unease at 6 wins in 7. If you're on about the manner of our recent results, then that's a different issue.

I saw that too....here's hoping there's an element of truth in it.

[Craig_H]

It's blatantly not going to be true

There was a "I'm at Old Trafford and Vidic has had a car crash, out of todays game" one earlier, some people really need to get out more!
