HybridFox Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 I'm not sure my body will handle another piss up if we win today

They have a bigger squad available, they'll have their fans in the stadium, and they should want to get the better of us after the cup final. Hopefully not a heavy defeat. They need to win two games and we only need to win one, tonight.
st albans fox Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 A heavy defeat would mean Sunday is v difficult indeed assuming Liverpool don’t lose to Burnley …. A narrow defeat keeps it exciting as we would need a decent win against Spurs to keep us in the mix rather than an impossible one

FoxesWalk Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 I can’t decide if having just beaten them gives the upper or lower hand psychologically. I think this game is one of the least predictable of the season, can see both teams winning. Going to go down the middle and predict a draw, we have a great away record, and good record vs Chelsea in general over the past few seasons.

Well put it this way, if we'd lost the pressure on us would have been unbelievable. Especially after Liverpool's antics. The fine margins in football are ridiculous and none more so than this. Now we're almost freerolling. 5
TJB-fox Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 Hopefully the boys are absolutely flying and go into tonight with no fear. Don’t expect us to get a result to be honest I assume chelsea will want to kill us, but you never know. The wheels might come off for chelsea at the business end of the season. Lost Saturday, if they get beat tonight that’ll be them done for top 4, and then they got Man City in CL final. Could lose all three 1
what? Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 So it's only home fans there tonight right? Vardy to rediscover where the goal is and stand, grinning and bathed in boos, as bottles and coins rain down around him, having just completed a hat trick? 1
Popular Post Free Falling Foxes Posted 18 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 18 May 2021 We should be alright tonight lads, just received confirmation who's on VAR. 2 7
daddylonglegs Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 we want top 4 but let's be honest, we've won the FA cup (!!!!) and we're going on a european tour next season. Feels like a free hit to me and hopefully the players have a similarly relaxed attitude. Counting on Brendan to get this one right tonight.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 I would love to do the Chelski again. But I fear they might release the footballing gods on us this eve. Could they be any more motivated.
Dahnsouff Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 Did hear Rob on the O&C pod that Brendan made sure they all went home nice and early on Saturday, no slacking off just yet (Home beer consumption numbers are currently unavailable) 2
NasPb Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 (edited) Abraham is a threat ngl. He's that type of player who can score against us. Not because i like him but i still see him as a threat. Got to watch out for him. I've called him bamby on ice before because that's what he is but for some reason players like him (for example, crouch) always seem to score against us.

filbertway Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 I'd be shocked if Abraham is anwyhere near a game that Chelsea need to win, the bloke looks like Bambi on ice whenever he steps on a pitch. That 40 million valuation of him is laughable as well.
turlo Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 looking at Chelsea's last 5 games TT tends to rotate 3-4 players each time even between the big games. Havertz, Pulisic Chilwell and Kovacic (just back from injury) will probably come in for this one with James moving to right wing back. Hopefully these lot will fall apart after the recent defeats just like they did earlier in the year.
WigstonWanderer Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 Just hope Rodgers manages to keep the players grounded and focussed
HighPeakFox Posted 18 May 2021 Author Posted 18 May 2021 Although they can 'freshen up' their line up, there is nothing more stale than losing and a losing mentality. The last team they probably want to play tonight is us. 1

At times convince myself we’ve got the upper hand, at times the opposite. Think it’s on a knife edge tbh, and a draw would be a fantastic result for us as it leaves it in our hands last day of the season. Going to be a long day!
filbertway Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 I'm predicting lots of swings this week. Chelsea slam us 5-1 tonight. Burnley beat liverpool 3-1. We beat spurs on the final day with a comfortabl victory and and celebrate wrapping up Champions league qualification in front of our fans.
ian__marshall Posted 18 May 2021 Posted 18 May 2021 (edited) Think we have the psychological edge tonight. Beat them twice already so nothing to fear but our own lack of focus and complacency. I have a feeling that Tuchel keeping the player's out on the pitch whilst we received the trophy and celebrated might back fire. Watching the footage on the TV their players looked absolutely destroyed and lots simply couldn't watch. A team with real grit and determination would have studied us like a hawk and committed those images to memory to unlease tonight but instead all I saw amongst the Chelsea player's was embarrassment and self pity. My only real concern is how our players handle playing in front of a home crowd particularly if it's tight in the closing stages, Chelsea step it up a gear, and the fans respond in kind. Big game but the weekends events have completely changed my outlook on the situation so I won't be too disappointed if things don't go our way tonight, after all we have a nice shiny piece of silverware to go home to.
