Lionator Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 If you're brave enough to look beyond the 20 minutes of catastrophic self-capitulation at Bournemouth, we've actually looked like a very good team in the past 4 games. It will be about carrying that on into this game and if we can keep it sensible at the back then we have a very good system and give ourselves a very good chance of winning this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Chelsea’s FA Cup pursuit really messing with their big games against Liverpool and Wolves. Can see them winning their FA Cup tie and finishing 5th.

Ricey Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 I'm clutching at straws here perhaps, but Mourinho has gone massively overboard with how much he wants the Europa League, when you'd assume a man who moans so much about fixture congestion would want a clean run up at the top 4 next season. He's also gone massively overboard with how tired his players are, calling them "super fatigued". Add into the mix the fact he'll want one of Chelsea and Man Utd to miss out on the top 4, not only because they are rivals, but also because both clubs have sacked him in recent years, and it makes you wonder if the "super-fatigued" comment is preparing an excuse for Sunday and the over-the-top desire for Europa League is covering his back in case anyone excuses him of not wanting it and not wanting to end the season on a high. Could he rest a few players on Sunday? Kane and Moura did pick up knocks at Newcastle. I know all of the above is probably bollocks, but you never know with Mourinho...

There’s an interview with him a couple of weeks where he said he’s not a fan of the Europa League. I think he’s know the advantage his team would get not playing it tbh. His statement ref Spurs is just him trying to cover himself a little Edited 17 July 2020 by Cardiff_Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrefelderFox666 Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 If we find our scoring boots we can beat anyone because we play good football. Recently we have allowed the solidity at the back to reduce meaning we concede soft goals. Even in this poor run, we have shown glimpses/periods of good play. Do that for 90 mins and put your chances away and we will win comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, weird isn't. Since Palace, we have found a defensive system what can work. We had twenty-five minute spell at Arsenal and that utter meltdown at Bournemouth. The balance is right at the moment. Perez far more comfortable at no.10 and Vardy not as isolated. Tielemans and N'Didi can do the other bits. The games except Bournemouth we showed grit, desire and a willing. Bournemouth all that went to complete shit. Our season has been a real funny ****er. The 14 points pissed up the wall is a joke. Yet the scenario in isolation of having to beat three high ranked teams with numerous first teasers out and squad players struggling, it would be some effort.

We weren't very good against arsenal at all. Would've been 3 or 4 if it wasn't for Kasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst case scenario is that Utd finish 3rd, we finish 4th, Chelsea 5th and Wolves 6th AND Chelsea win the Champions League AND Wolves win EL. If that happens then 4th place gets bumped out of CL. Chelsea will have to beat Bayern Munich in Munich by 4 goals to progress in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 Tough game for sure. I would set up 3-7-1 with 3 rush goalies. A draw would be a very good result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we beat these, we only have to draw the final match. We really are down to the bare bones when you look at our lineup and bench against Shef Utd, so many injuries and suspensions to key players, but the squad stepped up far more than the first team players have recently. I can see us beating Spurs, but Chelsea will beat Liverpool and it will all come down to the final day (and a dodgy VAR decision ) My biggest fear, you just know it!
