Chelsea Build Up

[-V-]

Don't get me wrong, I'd take a 1-0 but I want us to punish Jose. Then for Suarez to run past him sucking his thumb

Still not convinced today's game will be easy for us even if Mourinho picks a weakened side. I also have a feeling he's going to surprise us just like he did against City by not parking the bus. That game everyone felt his team would be negative but he did the opposite and set his team up to press the living daylights out of City and they couldn't cope with it. I think he will push Matic further up the field to get at Gerrard as he'll know we like to dilly dally at the back. I'm going for a draw but wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea sneak it to be honest.

Chelsea will have a center half sent off today, I feel it in my bones.

You're usually so positive aswell.

Suarez and Skrtel to score.

I can't see where the Chelsea goals are going to come from. They're going to have to keep up with us if they want to out-score us, so I think it will be a Mourinho park the bus and hope to delay the inevitable, hoping we drop points elsewhere.

I am praying for an early blitz from us. If we're 4-0 up in 20 minutes à la Arsenal, I'll be buzzing my tits off.

Lampards set pieces worry me. Corner or freekicks is their best bet. I just hope Suarez remains calm and has his scoring boots on.

Suarez needs to score today. Hasnt scored against any of the top 4 this season. Needs to perform today

What time does the players bus arrive?

Omg the build up is on telly. I'm practically shaking already- it's 2.5 hours away! Not sure I can handle this!

Turn it off and do a slinky, ie knock one out!

I think that's harsh, Sarb. He's been 'performing' he just hasn't got on the score sheet. Such is his selfless play, others benefit. If he doesn't score but we win, I won't give two hoots about that fact.

[Vermilion]

Yes i know it's daft, but i'm concerned about Torres!

Mainly for reasons of Sods Law, but still.

He's been dog **** v us since he left, but seeing as a great or lucky performance from him can really hurt us today, wouldn't it just be our luck!

Main thing is we win agreed. Just think a player of his ability can win such games. It will be tight. He has the ability. Needs to play with a cool head. Love the guy though

[Muddled]

He's gone in the summer. He's checked out of Premiership football and will offer zero threat against us today.
