I'd even play Ferreira over Bosingwa at OT. Bosingwa's poor defensive skills were proven once again. I've said before the game that if he or Malouda start, we would not beat them. I was expecting Nani to make him look like a real muppet but it was a 38 year old instead. He was looking at Giggs just like I was looking from my couch, from miles away.

Andre Villas Boas definitely, good shout. Tactics mastermind.

Doesn't matter. His mistake led to the goal which is likely to see us out of Europe next week. It doesn't cut it.

If we get knocked out, it means a fail season. Such a long season without a single trophy, sucks. Carlo out definitely in the summer if we lose at Old Trafford.

Bosingwa? Have you not noticed how easily Giggs managed to get past him. If he plays at OT, I'll give up watching. He's the worst defender we've had since the Abramovich era.

I completely forgot about Benayoun and that Alex can play. That's an even better line up than mine, good call mate.

Bosingwa instead of Ivanovic? You got to be kidding me.

How we should play at OT: Cech Essien - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole Ramires - Mikel - Lampard Kalou - Drogba - Torres (Zhirkov on in the 2nd half if Torres doesn't do much)

In this season no, we can't score 2 at OT. We're not a team of comebacks, and with all respect to Carlo - but I've lost the trust I had on him. He's not a tactic master, definitely not for the Premier League, his tactics have been outplayed not only against Manure tonight. And frankly, I don't see us lifting the trophy in Wembley. Not if we play like this, the Champions have never disappointed their fans like this, and what is more in their home. When Barca won it two years ago, they were dominating everyone. Same with Inter last year. Not to mention that Real Madrid and Barcelona are in better form than us, having scored 7 and 8 goals respectively in their last two knockout games at their own ground, whereas our last goal in the knockout phase of the CL at the Bridge remains Essien's vs Barca two years ago.

Because Rooney hit it better, he hit it to score.

We've got something in common with all these three teams you mentioned. We've been playing shit.

Drogba was shit during the whole night. Embarrassing performance. Could not even receive one ball properly, his first touch is horribly laughable.

He was better than Drogba definitely. I understand that everybody expected him to score two goals per game when he joined us, but the WHOLE CHELSEA FC SQUAD is doing horribly embarrasing, apart from John Terry, Petr Cech, Ramires and Ivanovic.

The only positive out of all of this is that we won't be under pressure at OT and I expect Carlo to change his boring tactics for once in his lifetime, and attack and look for the goal. Inter lost versus Bayern at their home too but never gave up until the 90th minute. Even though Man U are not as bad as Bayern, and even though it's a Premiership game where you can't expect unexpected comebacks and especially from Chelsea FC, but the ball is round and ANYTHING is possible. KEEP THE FAITH

We did not deserve to win, but that was a penalty.

I feel devastated. You broke my heart Chelsea.

Have you people really thought that Anelka or Kalou would start instead of Drogba or Torres in a game like this? Drogba - Torres is how it should be, one of them will get the winner tonight.

Thanks God that Malouda isn't starting.

Is Ferdinand starting for them?

So nervous already, we should not concede tonight. COME ON YOU MIGHTY BLUES

Tomorrow is his night, and tomorrow he will shine, mark my words people.

But Carlo can't drop Drogba, not now that he's got his first goal since late January. Anelka and Torres both started against Manure but didn't do too much, whereas Drogba gave great motivation to the team when he came on.

In games like this Drogba and Torres must start, it's not time for jokes. Kalou can't dribble Manure's defence, even though Fabio and Smalling are likely to start. I expect them to play well defensively even though on paper their defence isn't that solid.

Luiz is ineligible mate.
