Branislav Ivanovic has scored 7 goals in the CL since 2009, more than any other defender. Beast!

Very lucky to be ahead, but I'll take it. We HAVE to improve in the 2nd half.

Costa has been shocking so far.

Iva!!! Great assist from Cahill as well.

We need to make the most of the wings tonight.

Cahill and Courtois are surprise starters for me. Happy to see Cesc as our number 10, though.

I'm not sure who is or isn't fit, but he could play Dave instead of Filipe, Mikel could start (I think he's unavailable), play Oscar/Willian instead of Juan, etc.I know our lineup won't be all out defence, but certain selection choices will decide what the manager's after.

The match will probably be decided by Mourinho's selection. If he fields an attack minded XI, there is no reason why we can't win.

Ligue 1 would probably suit him best. I could see him flourishing at a team like Bordeaux for instance.The common language would help him settle in quicker as well.

I think his case is entirely different. Not only does he play for a bigger club than the players mentioned did, but times were different as well.I'm 90% sure, he won't be in our squad come next season. It's nothing against whatsoever, but he has to have as much playing time as possible.

That's what game time does.

Family obligations come first, but Chelsea all the way after that.

Wolfsburg by the sound of things.

From what I've seen of him, he's a player full of talent, but is still raw. Loan him out to a bigger club/league next season, and hopefully he'll mature enough to warrant a place in our squad in the future.

I watched him when he came on yesterday against Juve. He played quite well, but I haven't seen him on a regular basis.

I hope we destroy them over two legs.

Yep. Says it all about the club.

Salah has scored and assisted on his first start.

Muppets can't even do that.

Tuesday should be fun.

It was quality!

Great to see him commit his future with us.

That isn't equal. Either way, we'll probably be hit the hardest.

I presume it will be parity.

Good to see the FA have some sense about them.
