Our defensive organization has been abysmal so far. These nervy European matches is exactly where we need JT.

subs: Turn, Azpili, JT, Rom, Marin, Moses, Sturr

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Ramires, Torres, Mata, Oscar, Mikel, Hazard, Cahill, Bertrand JT on the bench? Mata is a huge boost.

I'd take PSG over the likes of Dortmund, Shalke and Malaga any day.

Congrats Toronto, fully deserved mate

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we lose today, it would be mathematically impossible to finish above Shakhtar. I am SO nervous for this one!

Excellent theory except for one glitch: Why would Ramires think Clattenburg would speak in Portoguese?

The game changed because Dortmund changed tactics in the second half and decided to sit deep. I'm really not getting all the fuss about Essien's performances with Madrid I just don't see it. Today I didn't think he was good, lost the ball way too often for my liking. I'll admit, he's doing better than I thought he would, but I still reckon he wouldn't get a look in if he were still here.

Oscar is a great team player. He defends, distributes and keeps running for 90 mins. I'm talking about who is going to be our 'Superstar' when Mata is not present. In my mind, that has to be Hazard; that's what we bought him for.

@Henrique, @Rmpr, English ONLY please. If you want to discuss something in Portuguese, feel free to make use of the PM system.

2-2s all around. Can't help but feel a bit sad for Dortmund, Weindfeler really should have saved that Ozil FK, it had no pace on it what so ever, but or some reason he thought it was going out and left it. Terrible goalkeeping that could cost them 1st place.

That Reus goal was just brilliant. Dortmund had 3-4 similar chances before but just lacked the finish. Pepe equalizes

Tbf, we were doing just fine without Mata at the start of the season, but since his return, Hazard has taken the back seat. We NEED him to step up tomorrow.

He was originally supposed to be out for 2 weeks, I thought he might be back for this since it has been 2 weeks.

Lamps?

According to Sky, a host of League One and Two teams want him on loan and the club is willing to send him out: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8228599/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

^^ That was quick, it has literally just been announced Completely deserves it, by far the best player in the league till now.

Luckily JT will be on the field. I have a feeling we will either put up an amazing performance like we did vs Valencia last season, or play like we did in Donetsk and lose.

I honestly think he would be the perfect striker for us right now. Too bad he's not a few years younger.

Any idea when the press conference before the match is? Should be some time today.

Is it the same ankle injury that almost ruled him out of the Swansea game?

Anyone else watching the post-match analysis just because Graeme Le Saux is on it?

Well I read in the mail the other day (which probably makes it bullshit) that the assistants and 4th ref told the FA said nothing (can't find the article now). I honestly believe the FA will do everything in their power to keep a lid on things if the allegations are true. Urgh, I just want all of this to just go away. We are playing brilliant football and yet the focus is elsewhere
