Chelsea Build Up

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Chelsea are really good defensively, but will they cope with Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho? I don't think they've faced such an attacking line-up this season (we weren't quite there last time we played them). I am confident that we will up our game and really go for it against Chelsea and I really don't think that they will be able to contain our attacking players, we've got too much for them. I'm not being complacent, but this game is at Anfield and the support will be deafening and the players will be totally focussed and fresh. The core of their team will be feeling the effect of their travels to Spain and thinking ahead to their return fixture against Athletico Madrid. We are going to do this.

This. Sturridge being fit for the game is key. I think partly why we fannied with the ball at the back against Norwich was the lack of an outlet that Sturridge normally provides with his touch and pace further upfield.

Rodgers needs to throw a curve ball. Not come out all guns blazing. Win it a different way

Why? We've beaten all the other top teams at home by coming out guns blazing, no need to change a tactic that's been working. Let them worry about stopping us.

It's easier to press us in possession when we don't have Sturridge's threat getting behind the back line.

Worry about them on counter

[Fosterbloke]

They *have* to win. A draw wouldn't be a disaster for us.

Top, top modding, Reece.

This game terrifies me far more than any other so far this season. We should be good enough to beat them but I have a feeling he's going to try every dirty trick in the book. It's going to be tough this game, really tough.

His tedious mind games should start tomorrow too once they've got the Ateltico game out of the way

[Sarb]

Im hoping he continues snubbing the pre game press conference here. Shouldnt Ramires have been banned by now?

Can only see it doing more harm than good. Hope he moans about his forwards again saying his team have no chance as they'll be up against 'real strikers' again.

Who's the ref? They are bound to be pretty f*cked off with his behaviour and subconsciously wanting us to win.

Just don’t see him gaining any advantage from any mind games.*





*Unless of course he unfurls a banner wishing us all the best.

Ref report goes in today. If he says he didn't see the incident, then the FA can retrospectively ban him

[Molby]

i really hope the plastics get at least a draw tonight..keeping their hopes alive for next week.

There's no way he'll field his strongest team at Anfield on Sunday then.

( Having typed the above, i now feel dirty... Of course, i hope Atlético go through - that goes without saying !! )

[RedReet]

Why didn't Cech play against Sunderland?

[Muddled]

He was badly.

[Fierce]

He was badly.

Are you talking about Reece? You've spelled it wrong
