Bert19 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Got to say i’m dreading this. They’re a poor side, but always seem to have our number. Not really sure what we’ll have left in the tank for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If neither Leeds (H) or Brentford (A) gives us a win, there's no, absolutely no, excuse for the Argentinian(s) to stay with the club. No excuse at all.

blueandproud Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nah, Brentford only ever beat us at the Bridge. We are unbeaten in all our games at their place, so we have a chance, hopefully Toney doesn't turn up again like against West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarefreeMuratcan Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 4 points off 7th place (likely Europa League) with a game in hand. So we still have something to fight for on the league. Would be nice if the players showed that from here on out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are all that. Similar in profile to Villa. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How time and expectations have changed. Todd & Eggy just keep giving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I am in the very fortunate position of not just being unable to watch this match, but also unable to even check the score, at least not until well into the second half. I’ve got a feeling we’ll lose this one and it will be one of those really awful displays where we never look like scoring even though we’re dominating possession and then gift them stupid goals with stupid mistakes. The joys of being a Chelsea fan this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east lower Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Their coach saying they’ve got all their first choice defenders out injured, will probably mean that they will play two lines of at least 4 in each line, possibly a 5 and play on the break and for set-pieces. Wonder if our bloke is smart enough not to fall for the set-up. Attacking width and someone in the inner areas who has the vision and ability to pick out the wide man runs inside. Not a game for Madueke, I would give Mudrych a go and get to alternate between wide and a 10. He had a better game against Leeds and got himself a goal. Give him some continuity and 🤞some confidence. 4-2-3-1 sort of shape when attacking and 4-5-1 when defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asvaberg Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 We will win this, because: A) it's a very short trip, almost like being home but not as fierceful as Arse/Sp**s derbies away B) they are rubbish, cool maybe, but rubbish- it's a MUST win C) both Silva and Cucurella could be back for this, and that will strengthen our defence D) Palmer will shine again and score twice E) Jackson has finally found his way into the net F) Enzo shooting will be excellent G) Sanchez has practiced and is clever with his goal kicks 😁😁😁 Ps: no, I'm not drunk or on any "exciting" tobacco or other stuff. All above is just a dream, isn't it...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford is a small pitch, they’re physical, won’t create any space and will have 2 lines of 4 like you say. I’d actually be tempted to play Madueke for that very reason as I think he can beat people in tight spaces and open the game up. Something like this for me… Petrovic Gusto Disasi Colwill Chilwell Caicedo Gallagher Madueke. Palmer Sterling Jackson Enzo to start on the bench as he’s in danger of burn out, plus Gallagher is a bigger goal threat currently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 What Brentford have got is one of the worst goalkeepers I can remember seeing in top flight football , if our strikers can't best him there truly is no hope for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
