Chelsea - Right time?

[ChesterTheTabby]

Anyone else getting the vibe that this is the right time to play a defeatist Chelsea? Doesn't seem to be going too well for them, and let's be honest, VAR SAVED them against West Ham. Maybe this is our game to get one over on them?

It is well overdue and about time that we turn them over big time and send them scampering back home with a flee in their ears and their tails between their legs pointless.
We are capable on the day, and the harder we work the luckier we will get.

Overall yes.  That said Tuchel called out the players after the game today and that usually means the team responds.  If there is any spirit in that team, they will play with more intensity and that means a very tough game.  I dont think we will catch them napping on the day like Leeds did. 

I expect a very tight game.  I see 1-1 or 2-2.

Getting a point would be massive considering when you look at the end of the season we will probably have faced 5 of the 8 best teams in the league through the first 7 games.

Just to point out that Tuchel has already had to call them out several times this season. Something's wrong within their group at the moment, so let's be a thorn in their side and add to their current misery.

Chelsea players have a tendency to turn on the manager, might have happened again.

Actually a little uncomfortable, radio media talking Fulham up for this game. It's a tough tough game but I guess it depends whether they have John Terry running VAR like they did last week.

Last time I thought that was 1982/83 when we clearly had the better side.

We drew twice & you could conjecture that the points we dropped against them cost us promotion to the top tier & saved them from being relegated to the third tier.

All I know is we play them on Saturday & we are well overdue a win against them but their poor form or not, us winning is never a given

This could be the best time to play Chelsea in years as new defence a unsettling time at the top players don't seem to be in tune with tuchel.this could be our time .coyw

I have that feeling too - its our time to turn them over.   Wont be easy but doable and very likely.   I feel it in my water! 049:gif

Probably is the right time if we can get an early goal.
Their centre back pairing looks a bit suss and the tactics by DZ exploited that really well.

If we defend well as a team there are points available and with Pahlinha in the middle now......well!

[S.F.Sorrow]

It will be a tough game. Their defeat in Zagreb means nothing. That's one of the toughest, most intimidating away games in Europe. Better teams than Chelsea have struggled there.

They've had mixed results so far this season but I will be surprised if they don't finish top6.

Right time? No, I don't think so. Unless they've got serious issues within the squad I expect to see a response from their players. We can still beat them of course but it will be a very tough game.

Not a good time, a no manager bounce can be as effective as a new manager bounce.

Not a good time, sacking after a defeat and disappointing performance at the Cottage would have been the right time.
Whilst we are at it:
HANDS OFF SILVA

Not a good time. I have a feeling the squad were not happy with him. Now he has gone they will want to show what they can do for the next boss, whoever he is.
