Chelsea V Newcastle 3pm Match Thread

ShoulderChip

This will be a nice exciting one,

Will Newcastle fall apart in the absence of Joe Kinnear




and his trusted sexy desciple Joey kebab



Its a new dawn for Liverpool's Momo Salah:

Who Jose has stated will play today.

Elsewhere Oscar is getting pissed that Hazard is getting all the accolades of late and is plotting a performance which will return him to his rightful place as chelsea's true boy king





STATS…

Chelsea have the best defensive record, only conceding 20 goals so far

Newcastle have only won 1 out of the last 5

Newcastle have only won 19% of games with Yohan Cabaye playing

Chelsea only concede 10 shots per game, second lowest in the league

Tim Krul and Moussa Sissoko have featured in every game for Newcastle this season

The Blues have kept 6 clean sheets in their last 7 games

Chelsea are still unbeaten in 72 Premier League at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho

Eden Hazard embarks on 3.8 successful dribbles a game, second highest in the league behind Andros Townsend

Hang on only one stat matters:
Chelsea are unbeaten in 72 Premier League games at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho.



ODDS…
Chelsea to win: 1.22
Newcastle to win: 15
Draw: 5.5

I am confident about this one, expecting two goals from Oscar, an energetic performance from Matic and hopefully some sign from Salah that he will not just be an understudy to Willian.

Chelsea fc : Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, D Luiz, Azpilicueta; Matic, Lampard (c); Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Eto’o.

Jesus i'm dreading this.

Lucky for us Chelsea don't score a lot of goals.

Right? :mad:

I can't see anything but a Chelsea win today.

Duff

At least we shouldn't have the heaviest defeat of the day..

Good opportunity today to go above the gunners with some note able absentees to Newcastle's squad.
Hoping for a good win but you can never wright off the magpies .

Terry misses his first league game of the season - hope Luiz does a good job instead.

1-0 Chelsea I reckon.

With Arsenal losing we have to win, end of, no matter what the score line.

GavRedKing

Ah Hazard, you've to do better

GavRedKing

L'pool were one up already at this stage... :pac:

GavRedKing

Theres feck all Newcastle fans there it looks like

Why is it that Ashley cole has fallen out of favour? I'm not a supporter so wouldn't pay close attention.

Azp has done very well at LB so cant really drop him

Ah cool, makes sense then. Cheers.

GavRedKing

Decent 1st 10mins from both teams.

GavRedKing

We really need to be quicker, like against City but obviously Newcastle arent going to leave that space in behind.

GavRedKing

If Debuchy is gone that will be great for Hazard, hes a very good RB so if he goes it will be a loss for them, although they'll probably drop Santon in their and hes not bad either. :pac:

GavRedKing

You cant allow B.Arfa to do that, hes dangerous

GavRedKing

f**k sake

GavRedKing

Thats a poor miss from Eto'o

GavRedKing

Christ Oscar hit the target, Eto'os after having a few terrible touches recently

GavRedKing

Get in, what a player Hazard is.

Eden Hazard... 12 goals this season. What a precision goal. Hazard lays it off to Ivan, Ivan rockets in the cross... back of the fúcking net from Hazard. Get in there my son.

Precision, power, skill. Get in. Love it.

M5

Santon failed to track hazard after being rolled by him

That might force Newcastle to come at us a bit which will open up more space, make for a better game

Can't imagine Pardew getting a tactical one up on Jose unfortunately

If Big Sam can Pardew can, ye've shown in 30 mins more attacking threat than West Ham did over 90.

At 1-0 anything is possible, I dont think either team has played that well so far.

M5

Ah lad!

GavRedKing

Thats terrible defending, should have been 1-1

GavRedKing

What a f**king goal :eek:

Johner

What a ****ing goal.

Hazard is making it harder and harder for me to maintain that Oscar is our best player, not a bad Problem to have

GavRedKing

Dya remember that Spanish guy we sold a few weeks ago? No? Exactly.

Hazard.

Nah, its Hazard, the guy is absolutely outstanding.

DazMarz

Are there words to describe utter perfection like that? I don't think so. That is just perfection. As Karl in The Simpsons said: "Stunning... Absolutely... Stunning..."

Beware of the Hazard...

M5

When you don't take your chances....

SweepTheLeg

That flick on from Eto'o was top notch.

Definitely, from the resulting corner ye're 2-0 down and we've not played well enough to warrant it either, just 2 great moments from Hazard, thats the small differences.

I know he's unreal, Oscar is just so slightly my personal favourite though.
I certainly will concede that hazard is better and more effective this year.

Johner

Yeah fair play to Eto'o that was a brilliant lay off.
