As soon as we kick off this evening we'll instantly be back on top of the league.

Nope, as Clark starts Sylla is on the bench instead.

Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Mikel, Van Ginkel, De Bruyne, Schurrle, Lukaku.

Good news with those two being included. I really thought they'd drop Terry and move Ivanovic inside. Mourinho will probably wait until they're 1 down.

And I am. I'm delighted Sideshow isn't fit as I fancy us running at that pairing. The QE2 turns quicker than them.

Would've preferred Okore and Sylla in for Clark and El Ahmadi. Perhaps that will happen on Saturday?

They both deserve their place after their respective performances on Saturday.

It would have been incredibly harsh to drop KEA or Clark. I'm happy he's stuck to the same line-up. I'm shitting it to be honest.

Subs: Steer, Bennett, Okore, Bacuna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev.

That strikes me as our strongest 18. Am I missing someone who anyone thinks PL would rather have in there?

EDIT: Baker apart.

Yes, as much as I would like to have seen a bit more size, it's hard to argue with keeping the same line up (Baker aside) as the weekend.

This is going to be a really solid test, but last season aside we've done well up there in recent years. We don't always get beaten and amazingly won against them under TSM, so anything is literally possible.

Keep the faith brothers and sisters.

I'd say right now it is our strongest 18. Hopefully we may have someone else coming in or better still someone like Gardner challenging.

Although I suppose you could say that right now Bent and Given are probably better than Steer and Helenius. I'm not fussed about them not being the squad mind.

Baker, Albrighton, Herd, Gardner, N'Zogbia are still potentially to come in and get a chance at some stage.

If Guzan's kept a clean sheet at half time I'll be happy. But from what I can recall of both tonkings at Chelsea, it was second halves that were the problem.

We were 3-0 down at half time in the away fixture at Chelsea last season IIRC.

So Cahill and KEA both kick a ball at the same height, and they get a free kick for high foot? Really?

Villa look like rabbits in headlights, they are a stunning set of forward players behind Ba, and will probably romp the league. Their movement is killing us.

Chelsea could play a pensioner in a bathchair at the top of their forward line and still carry the greater goal threat. And that's against better teams than Villa too.

Post by: citizenDJ on August 21, 2013, 08:03:54 PM
Only fifteen minues and all that, but our system seems to be playing perfectly into Chelsea's hands, particularly with regard to their wider players. I think we'd be better with an additional midfielder (Sylla?) to crowd them a bit more and break up their passing. They don't look anywhere near as susceptable to the break, so the three attackers might be one two many, really.

I think it is too early in the Jose return period to get a result there. the re-scheduling to this date really hurt on the back of a very draining game at Arsenal. They are streets better than us and are exploiting our biggest weakness.

it took us 20 minutes really to settle down and you cannot do that against the better teams because the margin for error is so small. That said, long way to go and we have to find our feet. The guns up front are as dangerous as any in the top flight so we always have a chance there.

I would've said going in just 1 down was a result for us but 1-1 is fantastic as we have not been in this half at all.

Weirdly Chelsea have been in slumber mode for most of this half, barely threatened after the goal. Mourinho said after the Hull game they were nowhere near the level physically he wanted.

Most important thing is to just stay focused. I'm sure Chelsea will come out firing in the second half so wouldn't be the brightest thing to concede early again.

I reckon that would be very painful in many, many ways.

If anyone came knocking now we should take the stance of £50 million if Bale is 93 and no less. Arsenal might put the Suarez 40 in and it might unsettle him though. Spurs are out of it now. Chelsea might, but I think they are hung up on Rooney for some reason.

I actually think we started to settle down reasonably well as the half went on. Chelsea are always going to have more of the ball especially at home. We need to remain disciplined defensively and that starts from the front chasing everything down and not giving it away cheaply. Chelsea can come forward very quickly which sets us too deep every time.

My thoughts

We do but with the way this Chavski side can pass and move if we are too open we could be carved apart. We need to attack but stay disciplined at the same time.

Just a busted eyebrow on Clark. Stiched up and watching the game from the bench. Should be ok for next game but with Okore playing like this....

Andi seem to NOT get much going tonight. Tonev? Helenious? Sylla? Bacuna?
I'd like to see Helenius on at some point, but it is unlikely. Perhaps on Saturday.

a bit like Arsenal, we started very slowly and Chelsea took advantage. For a good while we struggled to get a grip but we settled down and I suppose were a little lucky to grab a super goal at the end. Delph has been superb, and Okore has been excellent since he came on. Up front we are always a threat.

Regardless of the result, it bodes really well that again we haven't been on fire and yet are unlucky to be behind away to many people's tip for the title. Weimann, Westwood and even Benteke haven't hit form.

That's the thing with the referee's association; they claim to be professional but are utterly opaque. No transparency at all about them, unless Fergie is doing the asking.
