Chelsea build up

[Norbs]

Same

[RedReet]

An early goal and we're laughing.

On current form, keep Hazard quiet and Chelsea will offer very little.

[Chazza]

They had a fair few chances against Swansea but can't finish teams off at the moment.

[G]

We have a weakness that Mourinho team's are naturally set up to exploit. I'm sure Terry and Ivanovic will get plenty of joy from aerial balls into our box.

We have more than enough to win though,they aren't as good as side as is made out,hopefully the City defeat spurs us on.

[magicalbarnes]

Its all about our defensive play in this one. We're more than capable of going there and scoring 2+ goals, but we just need to keep our concentration at the other end.

[G]

Won't be surprised if Mourinho use's his press conference to draw more attention to Skrtel's wrestling tendencies even though every defender does it in some way,he's the most blatant with it.

[Sarb]

But he is asking for trouble doing that . If someone was doing that to Suarez we'd be pissed. I just cant see the logic in the way he defends set pieces. He just doesnt even look at the ball at any time. Its just strange for me

[G]

I think we all agree but none of us want it flagged up.If ref's start giving it against Skrtel they'll be giving 20 pens a game cos they all do it. Most others hold until the ball is played and then attack the ball,Skrtel ignores the ball the whole time,its awful defending.

[TheElephantMan]

Kompany and Skrtel were as bad as each other, the ref was probably right to just ignore it.

[Phoenix07]

Torres to score against us and celebrate like a blue waffle.

[G]

Kompany and Skrtel were as bad as each other, the ref was probably right to just ignore it.

I honestly think they have been told to ignore it.Everyone else can see it goes on in every game yet nothing is ever done about it.

My issue with it is not the fouling aspect of it,its the fact that he fails to win his headers because he's doing it. He lost all 3 headers in that game against Kompany from set pieces yet he won all 3 headers in open play against Negredo,because he gave up on the holding in time to attack the ball when it got near.

Rodgers confirms it will be the same squad for Chelsea. Flanagan, Gerrard and Sturridge still out
....minus Moses

[Bender]

[Fosterbloke]

Hazard is the main threat for me. I do hope Torres is playing, he's turd right now. I wonder if they'll pay us the ultimate compliment and put out the same team and tactics as they did again Man Utd?

**** it, whatever they do, we'll batter them.

[Fosterbloke]

As long as we keep an extra defender back this time, otherwise we'll get caught on the break again.
