Is it better to play chelsea with or without AVB?

I thought we'd be better off playing them with, though we should win regardless.

At home, we should fear no-one, I fully expect the Derby now, to be a winner takes all game, as UTD seem to be over the difficult run of games still on our tail, it should keep us focused for the run in.
Saying that, UTD struggle against supposed weaker sides, so you never know, thought they were lucky to play a weakened Spurs side today.

Shouldn't make a difference really Dawg. Chelsea should be fearing coming to us now and not the other way round, how things change in football eh.

I know we have Swansea away, which will be tough...but the rags have the in-form team at the weekend - WBA! They absolutely battered Chelsea.

As for AVB.....by all accounts the players hate Di Mateo even more......and at home - Chelsea should fear us against their back 4.

I cant see them having a new manager in place so not much else will change, i just worry about the payers having the shackles taken off and Avb's sacking galvanising the squad. If that's true blueboy then i hope Di matteo is put in permanently till the end of the season.

WBA might be the form team, but they all seem to forget that when they face the rags, time for Woy to bend over for the evil emperor, i cant see any favours coming our way from other teams, we just have to win all our games.

We should have done them at the Bridge TBH, Clattenberg's cloth eyed interpretation of penalty laws for Silva's nailed on one still haunt me! and after Mike Dean deciding enough is enough, by seemingly going on a personal crusade against shirt-pulling and diving, JoLo and VK better be on their best behaviour come derby day!
If Luiz is playing, then he will leave gaping holes at the back, if we score early against Chelsea, it could get messy, and as we are coming back to form at the right time, I expect our superiority in class to overcome the UTD experience factor
