You never know Chelsea tend to get results against the top 4. I think it would be better if both teams were in good form make it a good game like OT earlier this season

Yeah definitely. I dont think ive ever been more confident of a result at the Bridge as i am this time, but it is Chelsea so anything could happen. Our record there is poor in recent years, but with some of our big players back tomorow, i think we can win.

I'm not overly confident we are very solid defensivly ATM but our attack is awful, Malouda, Miereles, Sturridge have all been dreadful. Bosingwa and Cole poor going forward too ATM. Literally all our chances are created by Mata or Torres, Torres gets 1 chance a game so never going to score, everyone other than him and Mata are really selfish.

Tbh think we need to go back to the counter attack that worked v Valencia and City

Cech
Ivanovic Cahill Luiz Bertrand/Bosingwa
Essien Romeu Miereles
Sturridge Torres Mata

Get Lukaku on in the second half and let him bully man Utds defence. Quick and strong so should cause some problems.

Snows started now in west london

That lineup looks good. Been impressed by Romeu, looks a good find. Essien at his best would be huge, a fantastic player.

Yeah Romeu is class not sure he will stay for that long though if barca come knocking. Think he will be the best DM in the world one day.

I'd take Essien at 70% of what he used to be that would still be an incredible player. Was very good v Swansea changed the entire game when he came on so I'm hopefully he will get back to a high level.

Out of all that team I'm most worried about Miereles and Sturridge tbh. Miereles settled well but gone off the boil very sloppy. Sturridge since he came back from injury has just been greedy. The amount of times he could set players up for a tap in and instead shoots is getting ridiculous. Has a lot of learning to do

Better not be called off! Although was hoping they'd postpone the City game with them 2-0 up.

I live in East London...about 4inches of snow...
Not good news!

Or could just be that a midfield of Messi, Yaya, Modric, Wilshere and Johnson are rated higher than those, unsurprisingly if you ask me

Could say the same for Messi vs anyone

Chamberlain has started what, 2 or 3 games in the league for Arsenal? Woodgate, played at top clubs like Real and Spurs for a reason, just a shame he's had the injuries he's had. I've personally always rated Woodgate.

Just really surprised you thought it would be comfortable. And thought if you'd compared the defences you'd have an argument there, but to mention the attacking players, don't see it..........

Are you kidding about Taylor as 2nd best lb in the league? Got a good shot, and set piece but other than that.....

Plus my defence is set up to be exactly that, and to play narrowly as I effectivley have 4 natural cbs. Remember you saying you'd get at my fbs when they bomb forward so that wouldn't happen.

If we compare midfielders

Yaya > Song
Wilshere > Rosicky
Modric > Chamberlain
Messi > Ronaldo
A.Johnson > Wellbeck

I think I should win myself. Think my midfield would dominate yours and control the game.

Think you over rate some of your players then, Johnson is better on the wing for me without doubt, and don't think you can seriously say it's arguable about Messi being better. I obviously rate my midfield highly as I gave up so much to get them, so I'm obviously going to argue they're better anyway.

I wouldn't expect to win comfortably in any game in this league though as there are that many strong teams.

I'd go with Song over Martinez, and sacrifice Mandanda for Butland in order to play Falcao myself.

Then would say Balotelli on the wing is who I'd look to improve on if it was me. But not sure what others will think.

They can be opened today but I have limited access today

4 predictions needed. If Guv can get on and do them on his phone at the weekend, everyone else can do them.
