Ric Flair Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Liverpool are the only team in the chasing pack that have recent experience of winning many games on the spin, but I just don't see how they win 9 of their last 10 and even then its no guarantee they'd close the gap. Let's hope they get a relatively favourable CL draw in the QF where they prioritise it and still balls it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Never thought I'd say this but I just wanted to record my sincere thanks to Dirty Leeds for not allowing Chelski to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopla10 Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Important weekend for us. Definitely need that result against SU. But the other fixtures could start putting gaps in what's a tight top 7. Also torn about how I want the ManU vs WH game to fall. My heart wants ManU to lose but my head wants WH to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Yeh in all honesty I'll take draws among all our rivals as the safest best. We really must put our games to bed when given these chances to take the lead. we've squandered so many its mind boggling. Rogers has to simply maintain that siege mentality in the players heads. Don't lose if you can't win and win if you know you can draw. Our team is good enough they just have to believe it themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Dunno what to make of Chelsea so plastic, players just seem to play to a system and beyond that can't do anything different or exciting. Chilwell really unimpressive so wasteful, don't know why Tuchal didn't play Giroud, a player you know more likely to score than that 70odd million pound signing Havertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City and Man U are finishing top 4, it's everyone below us we need to drop points. Most critically we need to win points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixtiesFox Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Opportunity knocks! Chelsea drew, Man U win or draw v West Ham, Arsenal win or draw with Spurs and, most crucially, we win v Sheff U and we have a cushion going into the last 9 games. With players returning from injury, fixtures more spread out and the potential for Madders and Barnes to return for the last half dozen games or so, plus the experience we have to draw on from last year's mistakes - what could go wrong?.First off, just don't screw up tomorrow as we have in so many games like this in the past when opportunity has knocked! It is a pivotal game. Then, 5 additional wins and that will be a very tough target for any two of the chasers to overhaul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the sympathy he had for being fouled tonnes last season - and rightly so - has made him feel like nobody else has the right to challenge for the ball. I'd love someone to wipe that entitled grimace off his face when he's pleading for a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Roy Hodgson in the first half had the look of a man who believes retirement is definitely more pleasurable than standing in the cold at a football match with no fans whilst a bloke 10 yards to his left loudly chomps on chewing gum with his mask under his chin.

Had I said 'he hasn't got as many goals and assists as Havertz' you'd be bang on and I'd conceded. But I passed no comment on his ability and your post comes across as some weird defence over something that wasn't at discussion. The key points - Tuchel says he needs to be more serious & I agree suggesting his attitude at us under Rodgers might need to adapt for life at Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to catch Man City so it all about the other three places. As threatening as Everton and west ham look to gatecrash the top 4, they are both on the Crest of a wave right now. If either maintain that wave, that'll have been winning 13 or 14 of the last 16 games come the end. I just find that highly unlikely. But agree with your point. I'll take a manU win Hopefully,continued europa league will exhaust both manu and spurs in the coming weeks. Couldn't care less about Arsenal.

Risk will be with us for years and years to come but it is very low. At least they are giving each team 1 game with fans. I think there are far greater risks than a football match (pubs, holidays abroad etc.). Let's see how things go over the next few weeks. It's down to the government to decide. Well am glad you told me it’s for the government to decide, I thought it was in my hands, phew!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
