I reckon we throw everything at them , play Bellerin against Hazard . We can't learn anything if we play for a draw. Lets measure ourselves against the league leaders .
Mourinho will do what he always does. Identify our strengths and key threats and stifle them. There won't be many goals.
It all depends on whether we can not make any mistakes as most of their goals come from opposition mistakes. If we can, we'll probably win by a goal or two.
I'm so thankful for this run that we went on. Had we lost a couple or drawn 3 in that period, they could've won the title on our patch. Imagine that, or don't!
They've looked tired for a while. Mourinho will be able to squeeze the last bit of motivation out of them but if we play well we'll beat them.
Can't have Bellerin on Hazard btw, he's not ready for that sort of test. If Chamberlain isn't back expect Ramsey on the right to help deal with Hazard. Kos and Gabriel should be able to handle an unfit Costa/ageing Drogba.
And why is that? He came up against Sterling and did a fantastic job.
And why is that? He came up against Sterling and did a fantastic job. I'm almost certain this whole forum was saying the exact thing either last season or the one before, about jenkinson prior to us playing Chelsea. I remember that game, I think we lost, but Hazard said absolutely nothing against us Jenko kept him quiet. I don't see why Bellerin can't do the same as no winger this season has made him look like he shouldn't be starting.
IMO, Hazard will only be dangerous to us when he is cutting in. Bellerin won't get beat on the wing often so we need Coq/whoever plays with Coq to be there when he does cut inside. Do that and they have almost no offence.
Surely you cannot be serious with that statement mate, come on. Sterling got the opportunity to put through several deadly balls, and Bellerin even gave away a penalty. That's not a "fantastic job".
Regardless, Hazard is much better than Sterling. We're talking a great dribbler vs. one of the best dribblers of the ball in the world.
