This is crazy, i mean JT is the captain, it's his job to do that on the pitch so why is it such a problem that he's giving instructions on the touchline? He's the fucking captain! He's helping Robbie and the team out which should be commended. They're all in it together and all fighting together. Can't believe these stories of player power just because JT is helping out.

Didn't Benfica lose 4 in a row before scraping past Zenit? Benfica are a good team but they can be got at defensively and concede goals. We need to go for an away goal or 2 and go for the throat.
-
Actually it's supposed to be a diamond with Romeu holding, Kalou behind the strikers and Meireles with Malouda together in the middle. Malouda and Kalou could obviously swap tho. Fixture congestion is madness, we need to rest a lot of players imo and take the chance.

No game is easy when it's a quarter final, Benfica, Apoel, Barca or Leicester. Cup games are so different to league games. I went to the quarter final in 2008 against Fenerbahce and you could feel the tension although we were much the better team on paper, we scraped through so nervously 3-2 on aggregate. I really hope no one under estimates Benfica because after the season we're having, we can lose to anybody and Benfica are a very decent team. We should progress though especially with the 2nd leg being here. I reckon we can get a win out there too but i'd rather draw just so the mind is focused rather than confused what to do like Liverpool 09. Let's make history.
-
Cech Bosingwa Cahill Luiz Bertrand Romeu Meireles Malouda Kalou Lukaku Torres 4-4-2 I will say tho, i really hope we don't underestimate this team because this is a huge game. Win this and we're back at wembley.
-
We actually beat them 1-0 at the bridge in 06-07. A wonderful goal by Drogs. To be honest, with the history we have with Barca, they will be wary of us too and an upset is unlikely but not impossible. Can't think of Barca too much yet because Benfica are a very decent and competent team.

FA Youth Cup: Chelsea v Manchester United | 1st Leg
Ollie replied to Steve's topic in Matthew Harding Stand
Very good dominating performance by the young lads, by far the better team. Utd had their rather physical british approach and we had a like a multi national technical team, awesome stuff. Some of the football was brilliant. That Feruz looks amazing and Piazon too, very good. -
Fantastic draw, we'll most likely get knocked out if we get Barca and the final is almost 100% Real vs Barca but what a run if we get to the Semi's again, it will be a success to even get to the semi's if we do indeed dispose of Benfica which we should. Can't believe it's so soon, talk about hectic fucking schedule it's madness. This is where the squad should be used properly. Meireles, Bertrand, Torres (Instead of Drogba), Romeu, Malouda and Kalou MUST play on sunday. I know it too is another really huge game but we can beat Leicester with these in the line up imo. The thought of Chelsea vs Barca semi revenge of 2009 looks juicy but they've come a long way since even then, we'd have no chance especially as the 2nd leg is away but it's been emotional Barca will comfortably see off Milan i think. Nice to see we're still alive in so many things at this stage of the season and it aint over yet by a long shot.
-
Marseille will get Apoel because of Platini and his corrupt ways. We'll get Barca because he'll want the last English team out. To be honest, although i would be desperate for Real to get Barca and Bayern to get Milan and us to get Apoel, i'd be happy with anyone now. Just so glad to be through and glad that the whole world was watching last night and we did that.
-
Torres' angle was quite tight and with his state of mind it was always gonna be a hard chance. Who actually thought he would score it? I for sure didn't but credit to him in the rest of the game for his commitment to the cause. At least he gave his all and that's all we ask for.
-
What we did tonight was send out a statement to many teams and all the media and that statement was that the blue flag is still flying and whatever gets thrown at us, we will bounce back and come out of anything. Immensely proud evening. Will we win the UCL? No but are Chelsea back? Fucking yes!
-
He has Chelsea in his heart and if you have the team in your heart, it surely makes it easier. He had the respect before he got the job. It seems like only yesterday seeing Robbie represent us as a player with those strikes against Boro, Arsenal, Villa etc and how sad i was when he broke his leg in Switzerland in the Uefa Cup. Now he's back managing us it like a fairly tale. 3 played, 3 wins, FA Cup quarter finalists and UCL quarter finalists. I know the dream will end because we're Chelsea, we'll probably go on to lose at home to Leicester, come 5th and sack Robbie but i'm gonna enjoy Robbie's blues while it lasts. Oooh Robbie we love you.
-
Terry, Cole, Lampard, Drogba ..... You old bastards did good!
-
Those pictures make my eyes fill up. I've not felt this way for ages. I want Robbie to stay and this isn't just heat of the moment reactions, i genuinely want Robbie to be the permanent Chelsea manager. Roman, sign him up, Roman, Roman sign him up! DI MATTEO's BLUE & WHITE ARMY! Chelsea's have been reborn since AVB was shown the door. Roman, don't fuck this up. Please.
-
If i was Roman, i'd give Robbie the contract right now and i'm not even joking. Look at the passion, desire and the commitment. That's all you need. If the players are with you, and they are.... you are destined for great thing. DI MATTEO'S BLUE & WHITE ARMY!
-
Felt a bit emotional after the game, it was like Chelsea were reborn again after a year or so just not being there. We have our Chelsea back! What a game, 4-1 is harsh maybe because they came to play and they played but when we needed to fight, boy did we fight and the performances from all the players were phenomenal. I remember Monaco in 2004, we were 2-0 up and going through, then they scored and we seemed to die. Our reaction to their goal this time was first class. I'm so proud of the boys and i'm so happy for Robbie, what a night for him. Brings a tear to the eye. All the players were great but 2 players were warriors today, Drogba and Luiz. I vote Luiz MOTM, he just kept going and he shows such composure when anyone else would shit themselves and swing anything at the ball. David Luiz announced himself today to us and the world. I'm so happy, CHELSEA ARE BACK! This is fucking Chelsea.
-
Have we really just been fucked by another official and he's fucking 3 yards away? Oh my days this is an epic like we expected but we should be through now. David Luiz has been absolutely phenomenal today by the way. Come on Chelsea, keep fighting! Whatever happens now, i'm proud of em, they've given it everything.
-
Napoli are struggling to deal with any decent cross. Now Maggio is off, we need to continue to put em in. Maggio is a big player for them and will be missed
-
Wasn't looking good at all but a moment of Genius from Didier the main man gives us hope. We've been 2nd best in terms of creativity, the possession has been ok but it's too predictable. Mikel needs to come on for Essien. Ess can't move, can't run, can't turn.... he's finished tbh which is a real pity. Get Obi on, please Robbie. So far, so good.
-
There's like less than 1 hour to go, my dinner is ready, my Chelsea shirt is on, i really need a piss and i will see you all at half time. COME ON!
-
Dunno how legit the line up is but it's likely to be right.
-
I suppose if he's gonna go 4-3-3, that is the best team. Still woulda been nice to see Torres with Drogs but we don't really need to go gung ho like Arsenal did. 2-0 is a fairly basic kind of scoreline. 4-0 is desperate lol. Maybe if it's still 0-0 at H/T or 1-0 down early, we'll go for broke. It feels very much like the Monaco 2nd leg. Same scenario, so close but screwed like always. I hope we don't get robbed by a shit decision like we normally do. If we're gonna get knocked out, i just hope it's without its controversies.
-
Great news, Meireles is serving a 1 game suspension. Bit harsh i know lol but this is a game for our veterans to stand up and say we aint finished yet baby! And lose 3-0 n prove that they really are. Nah, we'll get through tonight, i can feeeeeeeel it!
-
we could only wish.
-
Not impossible, he's like 4th choice for them.
