Closed Maccabi Tel-Aviv v Chelsea

[Rhino's Skin 972]

So excited about this game, being able to watch my Chelsea playing in my homeland is like a dream coming true... There will be approximately 100 fans from the Israeli supporters club and I hope many more will be there to support the team (we will teach you some local banter )!

Hope to see us win, it is vital for us to finally build up some confidence. Hope Jose will take this game seriously because Maccabi can cause us some problems especially with the tremendous support they will have on Tuesday.

Come on Chelsea!

enjoy the occasion. Missing out this Euro away but know loads who are going and they are looking forward to it.

27 degrees C at the moment ???

Hope the local supporters group have got in touch with the groups that follow Chelsea away and organised a few safe drinking/meeting areas

Nah..

Honestly though, there are some nice places and it's a pertty unique scenery.. but dont expect any crazy mountains, waterfalls etc.

Quite frankly as a photographer I dont really like it.

Need to field a similar team to Sat (with a proper LB this time instead) and try to score a few goals on the way to a comfortable victory.

Kenedy did fine, Tel-Aviv is a great opportunity to try him on the LB once more, Azpi replacing Brana

He isn't a LB. When are we going to play players in their PROPER positions?!

[LondonsFinest 692]

Begovic; Azpi, Ivanovic, Cahill, Baba, Mikel/Ramires; RLC, Pedro/Willian; Oscar, Kenedy, Remy.

Rotation is key, right now.

No LB starts out as an LB, having this attacking spark in defense might turn out really well, maybe it won't. Baba doesn't give me more confidence in defense than this guy. It was only Norwich, tuesday it's only Tel-Aviv, I see no reason why this couldn't happen

Dude..

The typical view in Israel is something like this:

Surely we should be giving a LB we paid £20m for game time to find his feet?

of course we will ,, he can start on the bench and come on after 80mins if we are 2 0 up

[DYC. 7,542]

Would love to see two up top. Don't think their defence can handle it and scoring three or four goals would be a nice boost.

Don't know if is israel thread or match thread.

This is my starting 11: Begovic
Azpi zouma john Terry baba
Matic RLC
Willian Fabregas hazard
Remy.

I wouldn't rotate much because even though Maccabi is not so strong,this match is really important.

[nyikolajevics 2,420]

I would love this 11 so much.. Kenedy on the left while Azpi does the dirty job behind him, Hazard az nr10, Matic and Ruben kicking asses. Rémy deserves a shot either.

Bego

Ivanovic Zouma Terry Azpilicueta

RLC Matic

Willian Hazard Kenedy
