HighPeakFox Posted 16 May 2021 Author Share Posted 16 May 2021 I think a draw is unlikely - either we get absolutely battered, or the players (and this wouldn't surprise me at all) redouble their efforts, knowing what's at stake and what's possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 Think the Utd win was massive for some momentum going into the last few games and they will be buzzing after winning yesterday and bringing back a 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play one up top to help out further back. Unless vards wants to drop into a defensive shinji role but surely better to have praet doing that ? that was a huge effort yesterday - we may have to rotate . We could go all in on Tuesday as a win makes next Sunday irrelevant....but do we have the personnel available ???? We were the better side for 20 minutes at the start of the second half and that's about it. But thanks to Youri and Kasper - and some stout defending and video reviewing - it was enough. I would expect we'll see the team that finished the match for them, minus Giroud - Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Havertz, Pulisic likely will all start. A very aggressive formation designed to create chances at the expense of some vulnerability at the back. This would be a perfect time to go back to some sort of 4-5-1, as Kelechi wasn't at his best and Evans will almost surely be unavailable. Start Maddison and Albrighton, maybe go back to Ricardo and Castagne on the right. We beat them but we sure as hell didn't dominate them - give them a different look and use a lineup designed to counter the very different approach they're likely to take for this match.

lgfualol Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 This will be interesting, I hope we win again. Possibly would start Big Dan at RCB if Evans is out. The lad yeeted their pennant and will continue his hatred of Chelsea with a winning diving header and clean sheet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 It is a massive game. Don’t get sucked into thinking it’s done because we’ve won the FA cup. We have an unbelievable opportunity to make this an incredible season. I’m of the mindset we will get something from this, we’ve come too far...... we will get this done. I think it will play out as a draw, and a win V Spurs. Still think Liverpool will slip up too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will beat Chelsea twice, Liverpool will win all their remaining games. Chelsea will finish 5th but win the Champions League.m and we will end up with 5 English teams in the comp next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 Why does everyone think we will get battered by a side we’ve beaten twice? Chelsea don’t tend to batter teams..... it’s all very tight. We will get a draw at worst I think. Chelsea will target the CL final. Roman will want that above all else, possibly even the game against us.

I don't see why Chelsea needs to target anything since any win in their last three including the CL final basically gets them into the CL next season. They have plenty of rest days and an extremely deep squad - they don't need to pick and choose which matches to go all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Liverpool win all of their games, and we beat Chelsea on Tuesday, a win against Villa does nothing for them and they are left needing to beat City to get CL (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 Well whatever happens I’m more than happy with this season. We are guaranteed European football. And will probably have a much deeper squad than this season. We take the Michael, but could you imagine if we won the EL? Still, we will still finish in the top four. We’re good enough to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 Really wish we didn't have to play these again so soon. Even if it was just the other way around with the Spurs game. They are going to be massively up for it. They will make plenty of the changes where I'd be surprised if we made any other than Evans and maybe bring Maddison in. I'd take a point now massively, and then at least it's in our hands on final day. Praying for a West Brom miracle to make the whole thing so much more comfortable.

TrentFox Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 Realistically, our players celebrated last night and rested today. With travel, it gives us little time to refocus for a simply huge game this week. A bit like WHU would have been, a draw would not a be a bad result. Keeps everything in our hands. Massive.
