Exactly. It's got to the point where if it comes to losing, I actually wouldn't mind as long as we had a fvcking go. 

Precisely!

It’s the hope that kills you 🤞 

[trugerkem]

If they score early a 6-0 defeat if they don’t we might get away with a 4-0 defeat 

[HybridFox]

Massive pressure on Tuchel if we did get a result though. We actually have a decent record there too.

 

Here's hoping 

[Area88]

Hoping for a NO SCORE draw.

 

A clean sheet would help our keeper.

Leeds just beat them so why can't we 

Of course, we have a chance, but I would actually take a point then quite possibly beat MU.

If it meant drawing nil nil I'd take it in a heartbeat.

 

But we'd probably find a way to still concede a couple.

[F T Fagos]

Low expectations would normally make this game a free hit, however the current state of both clubs at the moment means we have a chance of redemption . We will need to be as aggressive as Leeds were, press hard and deny them time and space. Defending deep is not an option against these with our defensive record, so go with Vardy and Nacho. Also bring in Praet and Soyuncu. Seriously doubt any of this will happen as BR seems incapable of changing from the defensive borefest that we keep seeing. Still,we live in hope.

I'd make Man United favourites for our game to be honest 

[Allenho11]

Is there a score line which gets him sacked here? 4-0? 5-0? If so here’s hoping.

[ronnup]

Fofana on at half time for them WWF style in a shock in-game transfer,  full Gorilla Press on Vardy and then score a hatrick of headers from Chilwell corners

0-10 loss. 8 headed goals from set-pieces (4 each for Fofana and Sterling).  After the match BR will say we should have managed the game better @ 0-9.     

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Chelsea have no striker but they'll still find ways to put us to the sword. Sterling due a couple also.

 

Can see them coming back with a bang.

 

4-1 Chelsea. Vardy to score a penalty for us

[Izzy]

I can't believe Chelsea are only 1/3 on to win this. I thought they'd be about 1/8.

 

Still, £30 on them = £10 profit I suppose.

 

Free money.

[burleighfox]

Just surrender the points now lads.

That's ambitious. This style is far too expansive

Was thinking this last night & how back 4 can be shuffled with what we have.
 

Castagne surely can’t do worse than Amartey in there plus has the height (6ft+).

 

Chelsea result today has got to add another £7M - £10M to asking price! 😄
 

Castagne's looked mustard getting forward recently though, one of our only players attacking the box trying to make something happen

[21st Century Fox]

According to TransferMarkt Chelsea's average squad age is 26.8 and ours is 26.6. Let's see whether we get "young/inexperienced players" as an excuse in Brendan Bingo.

[Guest Col city fan]

I’m dreading this. I can see us selling Fofana this week and not having any replacement for him.

And you just KNOW that tricky Raheem will go and net his first hat-trick in Chelsea blue.

Chelsea really aren’t a very good side but I fear we’ll make Mason fookin Mount look like Messi on the day.

3-1 to them 

[honeybradger]

Hopefully Kante, kovacic + jorginho are unavailable for this one like the Leeds game. Think chances of us winning are still slim but Chelsea looked rubbish against Leeds without their key midfielders so we might have a chance

[Sean2000]

There's no way we sell them Fofana and allow him to make his debut in this game. 

 

Is there? 😬

[mad biker]

We`re not selling Fofana ......... full stop !

[Daggers]

It’s been a long season and our players were exhausted by Matchday 2. I’ll be happy if they make it to half time without needing oxygen tents.
