Pepe

[Christine]

After his highly publicised performances recently, I think we can expect a very physical game for him tomorrow. It's Chelsea's style & I think they'll be out to hit him hard & really put the pressure on. Like the c**** that they are.

 

He's fair game. If I was sending the Chelsea team out that?s exactly what I'd be telling them to do. If you think there is a weakness then you apply pressure and try to exploit it, I know I would. Same for all players.

 

I'm surel he'll be ok....

I'l be disappointed if he doesn't maim one of their players

 

Their players? What about ours? He's a tough nut is Pepe, he'll go through any player to get the ball and prevent a goal, as shown by the couple of times he's nearly taken the heads of Carra and Riise. It's that bravery and confidence that makes him so good most of the time and I'll be dissapointed if we start to see him hesitate and not be certain of his decisions. Take midweek for example, when he took out Carra and nearly broke his own neck to punch the ball - he did it with confidence. The commentators tried to make it out as a mistake but I thought it was fecking brilliant. Carra was tied up in a knot and most keepers would've come halfway and stopped in no man's land but Reina came out and dealt with it. That's why I think he's so good.

That's one way to look at at. I thought he paniced in a game he had little to do in. He's nervous at the moment and is making som weird decisions like the one last week with Carra. He;ll need to put all that behind him tomorrow especially against corners as that's where Chelsea with all their money earn their points.
