“You can’t have a sleep with such players on the pitch” “Hopefully they’re not starting” – Ange Postecoglou can’t avoid to face these 3 Chelsea players ahead of Derby clash
A manager has expressed dread in response to a media question this week before their upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea.
Chelsea’s performance this season has gone from good to amazing, making them a team to be feared at the moment.
Chelsea should certainly be hoping to capture all three points after thumping Southampton earlier this week, but Tottenham is now afraid to play them on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs are now injury hit at the back, and they also lost another one last night in the shape of Ben Davies.
Their manager Ange Postecoglou says Davies has a hamstring injury, a result of having to play him every single minute of every match. He also called the corner defending a “madness” for Bournemouth’s goal that saw them beat Spurs 1-0 in the league last night.
So they are now going into the Chelsea game after a poor defeat and also a lack of defender options in the squad.
Chelsea should feel confident
Chelsea will be well up for this game but they should feel even more confident now after the above events. The Blues will need to make the most of this and get at Spurs whilst they are down.
Postecoglou was asked last night, “are you going to sign a defender in January?”
He responded: “That’s not going to help us against Chelsea on Sunday.”
“You can’t have a sleep with such players on the pitch, likes of Cole Palmer, Noni Madekue and Pedro Neto hopefully it will be a fair game because we have some injuries players in the squad” He said
Obviously he will be fearing the Chelsea game even more now as we edge closer to Sunday. The fact his side also had to play on a Thursday night in a competitive Premier League game as well is only going to hinder things, due to the fact Chelsea played on Wednesday so they had an extra day to recover.
