Early thoughts on how we can possibly get past Chelsea?

[Isar]

It would be a football miracle for us to get past Chelsea. Let's hope they have a very off day.

 

[Swannyblade]

Our makeshift defence against that Chelsea team could be the stuff of nightmares...we better hope they have an off day and underestimate us just to keep the scoreline respectable.

 

[NAP]

Best current odds for a blades win 12/1. Best Chelsea odds 1/3. Thought they’d be much shorter. Big hitters may wade in at that price.

They need to be so off that the stench reaches Sheffield

It's at the point where I've airbrushed this season from my consciousness, i might " airbrush" it back in if we get to Wembley.

Hopefully Chelsea are knackered from last night and the FA Cup is low on their priorities. I don't think I'll even be disappointed if we lose, just fatalistic

Its only the Pigs that's making life bearable at the moment.

Where have you seen 1/3?

You can lay on Betfair at 1.27 at mo although not much liquidity

These odds have got to be good surely, very tempted to put a grand on them although that will probably be enough to make us win.

Leicster -2 at just over 4/1 last week was just giving money away so got a nice lump to stick on this now

Chelsea completed their champions league fixture last night with their 7th clean sheet in a row.
That's over 10 hours of football.

Considering, without Didzy, we need to play for 10 hours just to get one shot on target I feel the outcome of the game on Sunday is well and truly in the balance.

we could play with 5 false number 9s 5 - 5 - 0

 

[Eyeball]

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

Been playing false number 9s all season - hence goal tally

Play 4-2-4 confuse the fookers for 5 minutes then revert to 5-4-1

 

[NAP]

Fleck to cause a riot with a late tackle inducing 4 of their players to retaliate. Fleck red, 4 Chelsea reds, we get awarded game.

Would be forever remembered afterwards as the Battle of Stamford Bridge 2. 955 years in the making.

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?

Have Lundstram, as the most expendable member of the squad, cynically injure eight of their starting lineup in a Santos-esque tackling spree. They'll only be able to use subs to get back up to six players and we win by default.

Other than that, we're probably fucked

Any plan that relies on John Lundstrum making a tackle is a sure fire winner. I'm in.

My serious suggestion isn't far removed from this. The Nigel Clough cup approach would probably be our best chance

Easy win. Well placed snipers,artillery,mantraps.
As a last resort spend money and pay off the ref.

 

[Dnblade]

Hecky needs to learn from Chris..stop off at the first Beer Off inside the M25 and get the lads pissed..changes to 4231,a new system is born and the Blades go in and win the Cup.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

We'll be ok as long as de fence is strong

Let Captain Blade loose in their dressing room

Pe

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)

pommpey

0 0 then a penalty shoot out win is our only hope.

MCintyre, Treadmore and Davitt.

Barnstoneworth United have narrowly lost a cup game recently. 0 - 9 to Taroona.
Useless, useless #######s

 

[scouseblade]

Ring up Chelsea's dressing room, pretend to be Abramovich, and say he is "a little disappointed"?

 

[S64 Blade]

I’d like to see primary school playground tactics employed. Every single one of our players, bar maybe Ramsdale, runs straight at the Chelsea player when they have the ball. When we are in possession, just run with it and have a shot from wherever.

Got to be worth a try? I don’t think a side has ever set up this way.
