But he will have to bench one of ballack and lampard. May be start with 4-3-3 an then change to 4-2-2 in second half if we need goals.

Only a Chelsea win will send the Blues through To be precise, a win with the scoreline of 1-0 3-1 2-0 ,3-0 or more can send us through. We have to make sure we keep a clean sheet for this match and score the Goal. I would have been more confident about this one with Jose Mourinho in charge. But with Grant, its 50-50

i hope Grant plays 4-4-2. with kalou and joey on the wings and anelka and drogs in front. Anelka would creat sooo many chances for Drogs. We need to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!!@ on tuesday, and stuff in 3-4 goals past them. But with 4-4-2, he will have to keep either lamps or ballack out.

clinical performance. just wat we need before the all important game on tuesday.

Topic Starter,...LINK PLEASE!!!

Another screamer like that, and we are done for the season. :thumbsdown: We HAVE to do something about our defense when it comes to long ball. be it from an open play or a free kick or a corner. We look damn vulnerable there.

from the no. of views that this post has got, i think i made an "April fool" of more than 60 viewers. World Record I guess

He is Right..BUT I WOULD TELL HIM TO FUCK OFF!!..Mind games by by him trying to divide the team before the important fixture. I hope the players dont read much into it. He is just trying to get us worked up before the second leg cus if we blow this up we are out. I hope we RIP THEM APART!!!

I put my money on us going 1-0 up in second half and Grant going all defensive for last 20 mins and in the process conceding a goal and getting kicked out of UCL.

Proof that Grant is Clueless: Chelsea vs Arsenal: Chelsea 1-0 down. Grant takes off Defensive midfielder and attacks to get level. Result, we score. Fener vs Chelsea: Chelsea one goal down. He keeps the defensive midfielder, takes off Joe Cole. WOW..what a masterpiece. And we look clueless just like our manager.

APRIL FOOOL!!!!

You often see such performancs when we have crucial Knock Out matches of UCL coming up. Players often hold themself up, dont give 100%. SWP needs to FUCK OFF!!!...hes finishing is APPAAAAAAAAAAUULING!!! This is exactly the reason why I feel the shift of our match against Everton to Thursday is a fucking Blessing in disguise. We can give our everything against Everton Away(a very tough game) and then we have 5-6 days of rest(if we reach the semis). Had that match been on Saturday or Sunday, we would have had players rested, players not giving 100% against Everton, and probably could lose or draw. But now, that wont be the case. I am glad this change happened.

We lost against Monaco, thanks to Ranieri's blunderous Tactical subs in the semis. But that guy did enough to get us into the UCL with limited resources because of which Roman bought the club and the rest is history. I think, He has had some great signings for us. Lampard, Maka and the best of all Petr Cech for 5 million(absolute steal). It was his team that Jose mourinho managed and lead us to League victory. But he is more like Grant in a way, good in most of the matches but makes tactical blunders in big matches. Mourinho was just too PERFECT!!!...no room for error atall. Thats why Ranieri was a Good Manager and Mourinho was a GREAT manager. But the way he was shown the door was really insulting. The management assured his job was safe, and all of a sudden when the season ended they drop a bombshell saying they are in talks with Mourinho and ask Ranieri to leave. That was very insulting to him no wonder he has bitterness towards the management of CFC. Exactly what happened with Mourinho. Job was ssured initially and out of the blue shown the door.

We are relying on just one result to go our way. Rest is in our hands. I hope we dont blow up like we did last year.!!!! We need one team to defeat manchester united.And we need to win all our games which I dont see us doing cus we have Newcastle away(christ sake seems like ages since we last won there), Bolton at home. 2 relegation Battlers, who will definately park heir bus, and make our lives hell.!!!....whereas Manchester united have Wigan away(bad pitch...would be difficult to win ) who have nothing to play for and west ham.(hope they do a double)again.

GRANT Could be in the team as a Football Director.(if we get a new coach)!!! in which case, he will have to travel to Malaysia. And regarding, Ben Haim, Just incase the new coach decides to keep him, they need some plan of action to get him an entry into Malaysia.

Substitutions are such that, if they worked, they make the Manager look like a Master Tactician.IF they dont, they make him look like a Clueless Donkey in the middle of a busy street!!. I remeber Jose once said in an interview that, He is extremely lucky that his Substituition(removing the RB for an attacking player and asking Essien to play the RB role) always worked.

One main reason why People hate Grant apart from his Managerial ability is that The Dour Faced Ugly lookin Old Man of all the people has replaced the most Charismatic, The most Handsome, The most Superb Manager in THE WORLD!!!....People still compare his personality to Jose's. Specially Jose's Antics on the Sidelines to Grant's(if he has any)One thing that people should remember is that, Jose is one of a kind. I am yet to see a manager whose Press Conferences are a FUll House, A manager who has taken ANY LEAGUE By storm. A Manager WHO is a Bigger Star than his Multi Millionaire Star Players. A Manager who assures in his first season, that Chelsea will be Champions under him. Never seen anybody as Superby Confident as him, and He backs it up with results. We saw all those Qualities in Jose.!! SADLY, It was His this very same personality that clashed with the Saviour of our Club. And brought his downfall.!! Bring on, Hiddink, Rijkaard, Mancini, Lippi, Fergie, Arsene, Rafa,or anybody, but None is as Handsome, as Charismatic as Good a Manager as Jose Mourinho.!!! I JUST HOPE LIKE KEEGAN, HE COMES BACK TO Chelsea SOME DAY!!!

OK...The Subs WERE ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!!.... Bring the Power of Essien in the midfield. Start playing long balls to Drogba by bringing Belleti's crosses. Ive watched Belletii alll season and hes crosses have won us some important goals. Also, when you are 1-0 with 20 mins left, ITS AN ABSOLUTE SIN to keep a Defensive midfielder on. I mean,, WTF do you want to defend , instead take tht player out and bring on an attacking sub. Spot on Changes.!! Hope He learns from this and doesnt bloew up the next time.!!!

The Guy is a LEGEND!! Although I must say this, Jose hasnt managed to win against Martin O'neill in 2 years. Rest, he has dominated all of them in the league.

Way to go JBD!! :thumbsup:

IT takes a looooog time to gian respect but takes just a moment to lose it. What he did after the world cup, pissed the living daylites out of me. He cribbed that he wouldnt play for us, dint turn up for training, finally when Jose gave the No. 13 to Ballack, he whined and cried even more. FUCK RIGHT OFF GALLAS!! What a day for him, Getting booed for 90 mins, losing to his old team, and getting knocked out of the title race!!!

ok.....do you still play the defensive midfielder when you are 1 goal down? Ive followed his substitution, and this is the first time ever he has taken of a defensive midfielder in any game untill now. I want him to do that more and more. I litrally hate to see a defensive midfielder on when we are 1-0 down. These are the types of tactical subs that a manager wins a mtahc. These are the types of subs that made Jose such a Great manager. Jose did it consitently , hence he was GREAT!!!. Grant did it once. If he has to win the hearts of the fans, he has to make such subs on a regular basis. I feel Grant won it for us with his subs this time.!!....

First Half, we did play well, but we waster our chances. Aluminium had to make too may saves. And the second half we only started playing well once Essien came into midfield and Anelka joined Drogs upfront.

We gotta WIN at Man City and Everton first!!...if we dont, that game would be a dead rubber!!
