Chelsea Build Up

This game is just huge


Struggling to cope with the magnitude of it. Stakes are just massive

All the remaining games are - doesn't matter which players the opposition field.

We've won nothing yet. No games are going to be easy.

Play as we have been playing (apart from the odd 20 painful mins or so here and there) and we will win.

We must not play as if we are scared to lose. I'm sure that's where the head doc and BR are coming on strong.

It can all fall to ****.

















But it won't.

If he really wants to send a message to the Prem/Fa, he should forefit the game, refuse to send his side to Liverpool at all.

It's all about him, nothing else. He could win his next three league games and still come third. If he wins his next two CL games he becomes only the second manager in history to have won it 3 times. His ego can't let go of that thought.

Jose can say what he likes. A Chelsea team already without Cech, Terry & Ramires, plus likely Hazard is already weakened enough. If he rests more players then all the better - I'd be loving that. At this stage of the season I want every advantage we can get. Chelsea have already lost the title so can say nothing. If City lose the title then they lost it at Anfield - nowhere else.

and it could be yet another manager who gets the sack after we muller them...

how lovely would that be

It's reminiscent of how Alonso would single handedly get players sent off. He was a red card magnet!

Mourinho's running scared. It's all excuses. Whatever team he put's on the pitch on Sunday will be up against not only the best and most inform team in Europe but will face an atmosphere that will eclipse even those Champion's league games against them.

I actually hope he plays his strongest team.

Jose can go suck a dick because I don't know any Liverpool fan who gives a toss about anything he says or does.

Hopefully Sunday turns into an absolute annihilation and Mourinho leaves the game with 20 minutes to go. I certainly couldn't care less if he puts out the U15s to get humiliated, will not make even 0.01% difference to my enjoyment of a win and one hand on the title!

It's all mind games, I'm surprised so many people are buying into it.

[Sarb]

He wont be playing a weakened side. Hope Rodgers comes out tomorrow and says regardless of who we play we play to win

Unleash the fans

i am expecting a strong side - that aside, i wouldn't care if chelsea didn't turn up at all and we got awarded the 3 points -

at this stage of the season i don't care how we win the league as long as we ****ing win it

it's chelsea's defence which is the issue for him

terry surely won't be risked

they really need to play cahill against us, but if he got a knock - then potentially they could be without cahill and terry for the second leg

david luiz can play at the back - but they are short on midfield options so they will prob want him in there for the 2nd leg

full backs - azilpuceta, cole and ivanovic - though they may have to play ivanovic centre half - which means the other two needed to play against us - if anyone of those three picks up a knock again they have an issue. So they may draft someone else in.


And keeper - cech is ****ed. If schwarzer gets injured against us they are ****ed again - so maybe play Hilario against us



i think it's certain though we will see something like this...

matic
mikel
lampard
salah
shurrle
one of ba/eto/torres


which is still pretty good/strong to be fair. And it also means they have rested
ramires
willian
oscar
hazard (can't see him being risked against us but should be back for the 2nd leg)
and whichever striker he chooses to save against us.
