    Oh dear. Lawro has given us a 2-1 win. Not good.

    The bookies like 1-1 or 2-1, 2-0, 1-0 to Chelsea, all on around 7/1.

    I'd be happy with a point but then I said the same thing last week. Actually I think I've said the same thing every week this season. And possibly every week for the last 40 years...

    Feeling quietly confident of nicking something

    They have max points but they dont exactly look THAT good and they've had a fairly nice start fixture wise

    Hazard is always the danger man,and we did fantastically last year shutting him down

    Only problem I see is Yarmolenko didn't track back that much, which may leave zab (or fredericks) exposed against Hazard & Alonso (who is arguably their 2nd biggest creative outlet so far)

    A thrilling score draw ;wahoo

    It will be thrilling if we nick the equaliser late on. ;wahoo

    Less thrilling if we concede the equaliser late on. ;weep
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I'll take the first option please ;biggrin

    Not sure if it is Pelle's style but maybe man marking Hazard is the answer. Rice would be the obvious candidate but he was great in front of the back 4 last week. If he does this then Obiang and Noble have to drop back more and we would play on the counter attack. But this might be a price worth paying to nullify Hazard.

    Don't worry about Hazard ,Billy bonds and Bobby moore will soon sort him out ...................oh ya I forgot another time long gone ;weep
  • Colchester_IronColchester_Iron
    Have him come to the Bobby Moore stand 15 minutes before kick off.
    We can arrange for him to be marked.

    A goal of the season contender will be scored by a man in claret and blue. You heard it here first.

    You mean to say that just because nobody saw it it doesn't mean it didn't happen? ;wink
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Preston, apart from us, Aston Villa, Burnley, Scunthorpe United, Drogheda United, Galway United, Trabzonspor and Castleberry Hill AC all play in claret and blue so I think you need to be a little more specific. ;biggrin

    At least 13th if we win, maybe (although unlikely) even 12th.
  • Cuz1Cuz1

    If we try to go toe to toe with Chelsea and play them at their own game then I fear for us. I wonder if Pelle has it in him to play a different way?
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    We are gonna win....if Arnie plays

    Attack on the break at pace with our front 3 there is always a chance like last year
  • DeanscaleshammerDeanscaleshammer
    I can see that giving us a chance Champo. Needs concentration, hard work defensively and a bit of luck. Teams should be out soon so we will know about Arne.
  • stevesteve
    couple of red cards for Chelsea wont hurt ;biggrin
  • LukerzLukerz
    Arnie is out
