Glad to see so many good posts and reactions out here, proud to be a Chelsea fan. I'm 110% behind Ancelotti but we also need to re-build. To blindly go into next season with this squad we will cut our finger again. It's good to point fingers now at Ancelotti but in the long term, when he gets the authority he deserves and the squad he deserves, we can't judge him. You might argue that on paper SAF had a weaker team but they had the passion and urge to do it. We just showed up, thinking of whatever. I think we need to break the spine to some extent of current Chelsea and build a new one. I can't wait for summer to give us chance to regroup and rebuild, rethink and reevaluate all of this. I don't think we can blame Ancelotti with tactics, perhaps only the line-up. How can Ancelotti's tactics change the fact that we can't take our chances, we were pressing and scored with 10 players. It was all right in the tactical apartment. What we lack is creativity and unity. Remember, it's good to point finger with emotions high but realistically, I'd let 3-4 players go than to let Ancelotti go.

Overplayed, all hands up. Positive: Ramires - shows skill and determination, seemed to be our only attacking force at some point Ivanovic,Cole - wonderful play in my eyes, don't get the support they need by our "wingers" Alex,JT - nothing to be ashamed of, perhaps the Park goal but that pass should never have gotten to Park if we had midfield Drogba - really nice display from him -away support was wonderful Negative: -the result obviously, but in a sense the Park goal gives me peace, then we can't blame the not given penalty -Lampard, the guys is great, but he needs to be given a rotation like Giggs or Scholes. I just think he doesn't have the energy anymore to go week in week out. -Torres,Anelka, Malouda- need to shape up and rather quick. All of them did some nice footwork and created 2-3 chances but missed all of them. I'm really fed up with 5 goals/season strikers. I'd rather see Sturridge playing for us. I'm not saying that they were 100% awful but they faded away. They started alright, Anelka had some good chances but that's it. - Refereeing, soft yellows to mould the game, ungiven penalty.. leaves taste of shit in my mouth till next season.

I think our overall display was pretty good but we need to take our chances. Fast subs, good teamtalk and player that show up with physically and mentally are needed. I think everyone apart from Anelka, Malouda, Lampard, Essien have been playing good. Ramires has been superb.

Against the run of play. We miss our chances and let's face it they weren't that hard to convert. And now the peahead scores, fuck sake. 2 goals needed, unlikely but till our last breath I guess, come on. Away fans have been brilliant. Was the goal offside?

http://www.uefa.com/...7737/index.html Understandable to leave Yossi on bench, he has hardly played. Anelka-Torres is full of potential and we can switch from 433 to 442 and the other way around easily

Tere! Tere tulemast! (in estonian but finnish people might understand ) I hope the same, but either way I'm prepared. For me it's important to win, or atleast go down fighting.

Penalty, and if he was the last man in the defence a red card. Well done UEFA

A Portuguese - Olegario Benquerenca

If Henrique is being optimistic about the game, we have to win

We all do that sometimes mate Agree with the Anelka part

All Chelsea games I possibly can, big UCL games that involve other clubs, I keep track of all the big leagues, watch el Clasico, occasional Madrid Derbys and Inter-AC milan games

I'm really a huge fan of Agüero. He is like Suarez, but better. Thing is, if Sturridge is coming back I don't see room for Agüero or we'll have to bench one of them (unless Torres underperforms) I doubt we'll let Drogba go this summer. Perhaps Anelka and Malouda. I see us signing Neymar, but either of them would be ideal.

Anelka is one of our fastest player, but that's the thing with him - he doesn't always use it wisely

Yeah, it did. Drogba was hesitating at first if to put the foot on his knee or not. Either way, nice celebration and shows just how much authority DD has

1)Lampard 2)Drogba 3)Torres 4)Benayoun/Malouda/Zhirkov/Ramires 5)Alex

Perfection. I feel that we need to take the game to them from the kick off. We can't afford to wake up in the 60th minute and thus cut our finger. This line-up will do the job if we perform and take our chances. I've no doubt we can do it, I can feel it. To be honest being the chasers this time around we should have the mental edge, we've got nothing to lose anymore. They need to protect their lead, I doubt they will sit back but when they're going forward we can sting them with counter attacks. The pressure is on them, not us. Whichever the result, the most important thing for me is that we either go down or go through fighting, that's all I ask as a fan. Sometimes things don't go your way, that's understandable but there needs to be passion and desire to fight for the team and as a team. No doubt in my mind, will be tough task but when we pull it off, my god, will it be special.

I'm feeling more confident than I did before the first leg oddly enough. 2-1 for Chelsea, through with away goals. Let's have it, come on chelsea

As Essien was rested, and Malouda scored, I'm thinking they'll both start against United

Has to be a win, I predict 2-1 for Chelsea, would get us through with away goals. Come on

Probably late but I signed up, can play when new season starts if I'm late for this one. I think i accidentally put "only take over an existing team", that bad?

Wouldn't make any sense. I'm more than sure that a summer pre-season will do wonders with both Torres and Drogba.

Mind as well bench Anelka, Drogba and Kalou also while we're at it...:ballack: He has been doing fine, he is not only about scoring goals.

Benayoun was very good in my eyes. Drogba was alright actually. Great result

Drogba PASS please

Well wasn't a pretty one but they all count!
