Chelsea vs Liverpool

Kerrigooney

I've only seen Chelsea twice this season...0-0 draw V Man Utd and 0-0 draw V Arsenal...2 of the worst games I've seen for ages so I'm not expecting much tbh. Could be a snorefest but since they're at home maybe they might try to actually play some football today. Whatever happens there won't be many goals anyway.

We usually score and always concede so I'm going with 1-1.

I dont get why people are saying Liverpool will be tired but Chelsea wont be? Liverpool played Saturday morning and Thursday evening, Chelsea played Monday night and Thursday day time, if anyone should be, surely it would be Chelsea, who have played 7 more games this season.

Atm, Liverpool have a senior fit squad of 16 to choose from. That is a small bit less than chelseas c.30.

People said City held Suarez last Thursday, yet he created the three best chances Liverpool had, the goal that was wrongly disallowed, the goal that stood and the Countiho chance that Hart saved. Cannot see Chelsea holding Luis
Other than baiting him as he was getting a bit edgy at the end of the city game
Also no doubt that Mourinho and the Chelsea lads, especially Terry will be in the refs ear about Skertl at corners.
Should be an interesting game, will be disappointed if we don't come away with the three points. Come on you Redmen.

Agueroooo

Had an awful feeling that the game will get ruined by an early red.

Howard Webb needs to be at the top of his game today cause this one aint gonna lack in the passion stakes.

still confident Liverpool will get a result here today.

Hate nonsense like this. They beat United and suddenly United are a bad team. They hammer Spurs and suddenly Spurs are a bad team. No doubt if they beat Chelsea on Sunday it would make Chelsea a bad team and so on, so on, etc.

To be fair, it wasn't Liverpool beating them that made people realise Spurs are a bad team, they've been muck all season.

I'd be a bit worried about fatigue from a Liverpool perspective. City were very flat today after the midweek game and were fortunate to beat Palace to be honest. And they could afford to rotate their team. Liverpool will probably have the same side out tomorrow. Albeit they have an extra 24 hours.

This is utter nonsense Chelsea also played on at Stephens day plus gave played 8/9 more games than liverpool this season

Nope. But when he does, I love it.
His range of passing is amazing.

G.K.

If I was a Pool fan I'd be hoping it was Agger at LB.

No, and iirc Mourinho actually had a subtle dig at Benitez for playing him there.

16 year old Jordan Rossiter on the bench for Liverpool.

Agger or Sakho LB.

Hard to know. Sakho left back maybe??

GavRedKing

I could see us playing 4-3-3 with Luiz Lamps Oscar.

Not convinced with Eto'o he missed 2 simple chances against Swnasea.

Red Kev

So I won €54 on a €10 bet on Stephens day on a footie accumulator.

Just stuck €10 on Liverpool to win 3-1 (:pac:) @ 25/1 . Sure why not.

klose

Hopefully its agger at lb.

Can't see Chelsea conceding 3 tbh. Hope you're right tho.

mike65

I tell you what is weird, Brad Smith being on the bench - he's a left back and so is Cissokho. He did play as a right wing against Spurs in the U21s (and was damned exciting at it) so maybe if he were used it would be as a winger. Hard to imagine him playing at all of course.

Agger cb if it's a 2 in there, just to handle Torres.

Tbh I've no faith in either of those two playing left back.
Where has Kelly gone? Injured?

Mickeroo

Will Jose go for it today or will he park the bus like he did against United and Arsenal? Since it's in Stamford bridge you would have to expect him to play a more open game.

Moneymaker

Mourinho really needs to get over that Garcia goal. Jesus Christ.

You have to win your home games, we have to go for it.

Gbear

I presume he's getting Agger in for Cissokho to be better in the air.

That might make sense if Agger wasn't a pansy.

Can see nothing other than a comfortable win for Chelsea here and Liverpool will continue their slide down the table.

4-0 Chelsea.

Rayne Wooney

Chelsea have only played 1 of the top 8 at home, City, and have beat them.

Where are people getting Mourinho will go for a draw idea from?

shano_88

I think Chelsea will win here. Hoping it's a cracking game aswell..

Even Chelsea fans arent that confident. :rolleyes:

Utopia Parkway

Chelsea have only won 2 of their last 13 league games against Liverpool. Surprising stat. Touch wood it stays at 2.

GavRedKing

If Luiz can hide a chainsaw in his afro we might have a chance of stopping Suarez, even at that, I'm not to sure, I'd rather Suarez with one leg over any of our strikers. :pac:

klose

Hoddle obviously has not watched johnson much going by that piece there on him
