Early thoughts on how we can possibly get past Chelsea?

[bypassblade]

We could lock them in their dressing room

 

[bypassblade]

Perhaps someone could sell their soul to a crossroads demon?

You been watching Supernatural

Get Billy to shout "is that John Terry heading into the WAGS area?"
field clears, just dont let Goldie be in on the open goal

Or Burke

Rock, paper scissors.

Except I wouldn't trust Lunny or Moose with that either

Norwood would end up with his hand like this.

Poisoning.....

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Heard that Tuchel has a short fuse. Perhaps we can light the blue touch paper by revealing that Jose's on his way back following a successful spell at Spurs?

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Have 9 men stood on the goal line and 2 laid on top until 90+5 minutes. Then charge downfield leaving only Ramsdale back on a 10 man attack in an attempt to score. If doesn’t work ditto for extra time. Then pray on the penalties. Thoughts?

Think your username gives us an idea how to get through it

 

[pommpey]

4-2-3-1 then?

Ramsdale

Baldock Basham Bryan Osborn

Norwood Fleck

Bogle McGoldrick Burke

McBurnie

Good line up. What I'd say though is to press and man mark Chelsea as much as possible. The longer the game goes on with us on level terms the better for us (obviously)

Joking apart, have a shot. We’ve all seen what happens when you have a shot - sometimes it goes in. Look at Burke’s goal at Old Trafford.

We managed to score five goals against these last season. Need to think positive and not look like we have lost before we have even kicked off.

We have some good players. They did well last season. This is the FA cup not the league. We are doing well in the FA Cup. We quite often do. Let’s go and show them a thing or two. We deserve a bit of luck, let’s just have a gutsy performance and see what happens.

[metalblade]

Give em a bit of shoe and hope they get 6 players sent off for retaliation

 

[blackydog]

I would play Jack Robinson (is he fit?) and try to cause chaos from his long throws.

Good a plan as owt.

 

[JJBlade]

We can't
And worse still, we won't even try

 

[Houston_Blade]

We could actually win without having to score in the game so we’ve got more chance than a league fixture.

Ramsdale to dive out of the way of a Jorginho penalty but he hits the bar, Billy to score a pen and we win 1 nil on pens after a goalless 120 minutes.

I know this would involve actually being able to keep a clean sheet for 120 mins so I know how daft it sounds.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

I'm that confident we won"t win that if we do I'm going to dress up like Ken Bates, and masturbate furiously whilst watching a clip of Kerry Dixon washing his 80s mullet !

Somebody confirm that was an unconvincing lucky 2-0 win against Atletico Madrid

after watching chelsea tonight we will be lucky if we come away with anything less than a 5 - 0 defeat would like to see us go 451 if only to keep the score down

Just watched their match and Chelsea were very impressive.....they controlled the game with Atletico hardly creating a chance.
The Spanish leaders were incredibly disappointing....looking old and lethargic. Saurez looked well past it. Chelsea had a surprisingly easy win.

HOWEVER in the 1st half Atletico had a rare attack and probably should have won a penalty with Chelsea having a player sent off.
Strangely VAR stayed out of it. So Atletico might argue if they had got the penalty they might have ended up winning the tie

but to be fair Chelsea were easily the far superior team over 2 legs....and deserved to go through.

So Chelsea made Atletico look like us then?

I wish.....Athleti were quite good defensively. They are currently top of the Spanish league...so must be good.
Chelsea had loads of the ball and loads of attacks but they didn’t create much either.

The game was like a tactical chess match...
It was as though both teams knew they rarely concede...so 1st goal would be crucial.
Chelsea scored it and then they professionally and comfortably saw the game out.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

It’s obvious...

Keep kicking the ball out of play for 90 plus 3min. then get the last throwing in the last second or three.
Make sure the throw-in is in our favour. then get Robinson to take a long throw into the penalty area.
one lucky bounce to Billy to pounce on 1-0 to the Blades. Wembley we come oops I mean Wembley we can,t come.
Thanks to the lockdown.

Rest the players this week.

Chelsea played Leeds lasts weekend and they've probably never run so much during a football game. They have Athletico Madrid tonight. They're going to be shattered at the weekend.

Our best chance is to outfight them.

Outfight them?

This lot couldn't outfight the Duke of Edinburgh.

Well, Moose drives like him

Fuck it, lets go "battle of Bramall Lane" on them, exercise some demons

Big Vern available for a friendly chat with their players before kick off?

 

[corner_flag]

Time for Heckingbottom to assert control and drop Wilder's 5, 3, 2 formation
It wasn't working even with Egan, Ampadu and Jags none of whom are likely to be playing Sunday
So come on Hecky - show us what you're made of

Not seen him since I closed CI, he said he was going to "help the NHS"
