One loss and it goes from Chelsea sure to win to a third of the league in the race. Pundits ffs
Ljungberg and Vieira rated the same as Moses and Kante...
I feel physically ill, what is this monstrosity???
Sp**s did get under their skin but it just seemed like even basic passes with minimal pressure went awry. I wouldn't necessarily put that all down to Sp**s. It begs the question though, why don't we press against the top teams? Liverpool have a very decent record against the top 6 and they press like hell. When we beat Chelsea, we were playing like we were possessed(in a good way). When we beat City last year, it was the same attitude, though I did think we were sitting back a bit in that game. It generally works for Atletico as well. Generally worked for Klopp at Dortmund too. It just seems we need to be capable of trying the 3 at the back strategy sometimes. It seems to be a very successful plan against the rest of the top teams.#Spurspressing.
The 07/08 side with our back 5 right now would probably break the points record. We'd still manage to bottle some games though it wouldn't matter because we'd be too far in front
That's right. If your eyes are on the prize, that's the way to look at it. If you think there's no hope at all of the title and a CL place is the best we can hope for, then it's a bad night.Dream result, I know we're in 5th now but we shouldn't care about the short term. Chelsea are who we'll have to beat to win the league.
If this forum has sensible mods you will be bannedEriksen is Bergkamp's heir. I'm dead serious, he's top class.
We also have two home games after Swansea and Chelsea goes to Anfield before we play themChelsea go to Leicester next week, City to Everton and United and Liverpool play each other. Plenty of opportunities for points to be dropped there. All this whinging about us being 5th is incredibly premature, it literally only takes a swing of results for us to be 2nd for ****s sake.

They're all masters of knee-jerk hindsightery, it's hilarious when not infuriating.LOL , just saw apparently Sp**s have shown the league the blueprint to beat CFC . Luiz and Azpilicueta never central defenders apparently .
It is going to be difficult for a couple of matches for Chelsea though never easy after a 14 match winning streak .
Tbh nothing special about our back 5 atm. Vastly overrated. Cech is finished, rest are overhyped by arsenal fans.
Tbf we'd have 60+ % possession every game so the current back 5 wouldn't be tested toon much. The back 5 we had in 07/08 was a shambles
That's why I like Xhaka and Cazorla as a partnership what we gain in control and attack with them far outweighs the minor gains in defensive solidity the other two bring .
