Is it a big white flag, on a blue background?
There’s no belief in the fanbase that we can win this, is there? I am sure this game is a good heft of mentality as much as anything else. I hope that’s different to the players but I can’t see itIs it a big white flag, on a blue background?
Oh well, you just never know in football.There’s no belief in the fanbase that we can win this, is there? I am sure this game is a good heft of mentality as much as anything else. I hope that’s different to the players but I can’t see it
Agreed high tempo close everything down in the midfield and rotate at 65 mins. That is literally 5 subs in one go to maintain the tempo for 90+mins.My tactics for this game are very simple.
Sit deep and compact with five at the back and three in central midfield and play entirely on the break.
Be very violent and aggressive with Chelsea players such as Palmer. Kick 'em early and kick 'em hard. Disrupt the tempo of the game as much as we can get away with. Go down for injuries etc.
Play with as much height in the team as possible because set pieces seem our best chance to score and they look vulnerable at them.
Proper old school scumbag behaviour.
I'm worried that several of the players cannot, seemingly, be disciplined for long periods.Agreed high tempo close everything down in the midfield and rotate at 65 mins. That is literally 5 subs in one go to maintain the tempo for 90+mins.
5-3-2 will allow cover when we attack it just takes huge discipline from the players.
My heart says 1-0 Chelsea and my head says 4-0 Chelsea. I think I'll go back to bed.My heart says 1-0 Leicester, but my head says 3-0 Chelsea. Come on heart!
