Next up Chelsea at home, 11th March 3pm

[Fox92]

It's gonna be 1-0 either way.

[Sunbury Fox]

Rodgers has successfully given the players both a massive inferiority complex and a ready made excuse for defeat by his pre match comments about a Mini and a Ferrari. What happened to our ambition to challenge and upset the big clubs? Just seems now that in the main we take a totally defeatist approach into games like tomorrow's, with our only ambition being to avoid a heavy defeat.

Anyone optimistic here?  I mean I think most of us know what will happen. Chelsea are basically shite of you go after them, but, we won’t.

No chance he goes for it. Its not in his interest to. He's not under any real pressure and is still in the process of protecting himself and his brand. He will go for the sit back and and show too much respect option and try to nick a draw. Then after the game all the fawning over how great Chelseas investments are will start again. Going for it and and getting a result presents the danger of realising that we have players that can compete.  That's a dangerous no-no right now.

Rodgers using the same deflection tactics, he does every week. The problem isn't that we're a mini, but we've got Mr Bean driving it.

Seeing as there is no snow of note to come and it’s mid March, you’re right - there is zero chance this is called off for weather reasons 

Even more so now the snow has all but gone

Kante, James, Thiago Silva, Aubameyang out for them. Mount doubtful.

Put Aubameyang back in and we might stand a chance.

[Kasey Keller]

Sterling out as well

James is a big loss for them. They're a lot stronger at the back when he's actually fit.

A bit from me but that's probably my heart. They haven't scored too many goals under Potter. Just a shame they beat Dortmund to raise spiritis a bit.

Wow, crystal ball, telepathy and tin-foil all wrapped into one comment

With a back 3 they’re not as bad without him 

[Stadt]

Wow the ‘Ferrari’ certainly has a lot of parts missing! Good job the ‘Mini’ will be very motivated and the aggressive approach means we can take advantage.

Chelsea are shit but we are worse. Another big stride towards relegation this weekend.

Will be an improvement, will take it! 

[StanSP]

No doubt we'll have 1 striker up against their solid back 3. Totally isolated. Total lack of service. 

We'll have 1 or 2 players supporting that striker, playing useless balls to them in the air while Badiashile or Fofana deal with it with ease.

Has Brendan issued 1l pots of KY jelly?

Barnes scuffed shot inside the edge of the box easily saved and Kepa parries a Maddison free kick.

After the Middlesbrough and Ipswich games in the Championship, I don't hold out hope for any games being cancelled 

I remember that Middlesborough one. What a terrible game. Think there were only 11,000 there or was it worse? 

[CosbehFox]

Fair play to Jude Bellingham - his last five minutes on Tuesday of booting any Chelsea player in sight has helped us
