useless Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) In normal circumstances a draw against Chel wouldn't be a bad result, but we need a win for obvious reasons and for the psychological aspect of the game, because this thing of not being able to beat the division's better sides will start to eat into the players minds which is the last thing we need now considering we're going to be mostly playng the divisons better sides between now and the end of the season; the sooner we can exorcise this wicked run of bad form the better, beat Chelsea and wlll give us some confidence back.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) It depends on how our rivals do. They draw or lose then a point against Chelsea is fine. The main thing is not to fall too far behind. There’s still 27 points to play for. Edited June 19, 2020 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield united are a tidy team but likes of McBurnie, Sharp and McGoldrick are very slow by premier league standards so pretty easy to mark as they certainly wouldn't be outpacing Mings or even Hause. Was surprised they didn't put Mousset on to very late as he's one you can knock a long pass up to and he'll stretch a defence. Chelsea is completely different prospect. Lots of speed and movement out wide and upfront. Think back to how badly we struggled against Spurs's pace, they must've had 5-6 one on ones with Reina with simple balls over the top completely taking out our backline. We need to remain conservative but still make sure we get our attackers into the game which we did on Wednesday.

VillaChris Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Norwich still got to play Brighton and West Ham at home. Hopefully they won't be relegated by time they play those games as it would be a big help if they could at least not lose those two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Would be better if Man Utd won this game. Chelsea would have more nerves and pressure on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 We was unlucky not to get anything from Chelsea earlier in the season and they're a very hit or miss team these days, hopefully with the long break they'll come back a bit slow and sluggish and we can take advantage of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Engles hit the post in the last couple of minutes too? Could have been 2-2 if I remember rightly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Probably best BCD game I've seen from any league, great intensity in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It’s 2 teams from 4 - us, Wet Spam, Brighton and Bournemouth. I think Bournemouth will drop and I suspect Wet Spam will survive so it’s us or Brighton. Under normal circumstances their run in would be considered awful. If after the next 2 fixtures we have 5 points including the point against Sheff Utd I’d be very confident that we’ll survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) As expected. United made 4 changes and didn't change in quality. Actually looked like they improved. Spurs made 2 changes..they couldn't compete with United's mega squad. Spurs clearly tired and barely hang on. Those squads will blast through the rest. So f***ing unfair.

That's levy's fault for being a cheap skate and not paying the going rate for players, whilst spending millions on a white elephant of a stadium (only partially joking) As for the other clubs in the lower half of the league, you're right, it is extremely unfair to start allowing 5 substitutions against those teams.

They were saying in the forums that Mousset should of been put on, there fans were totally annoyed at that one not happening. Our lads will get to see a team that pretty much go up and down the pitch doing whatever they can in every area they are in, I think we will do well for a draw to be honest.

If we defend like we did before the break we will go down. If we defend like we did on Wednesday we got a chance. Ignoring goals against and looking at Norwich’s to have a dig at ours are two different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually until Newcastle get another win I won’t rule them out. They could go in a losing run. Highly unlikely but they have a lot of 6 pointers. Hope they lose to Sheffield. Then they play us, Bournemouth, West Ham and Man City. If they lose to Sheffield and we win against them. Thats us 29 compared to their 35. The next 2 6 pointers will say where they stand.
