Our wingers will be crucial in stopping Robben and Ribery. Drogba (I have no doubt in my mind that he will start) should also be at his best to take full advantage of Bayerns defensive weakness.

Not really sure this would be in our benefit, the only edge we have over bayern is that three of their defenders will be playing out of position.

Just reading all those posts makes want to scream in delight again. This is definitely my new favourite thread

Best thing about this season so far.

True. But they'll also want Lahm on our weeker side, which is possibly Bosingwa and Danny. I guess it'll come down to tactical choices on the day.

We're getting way ahead of our selves. let's not forget that we go into this as the underdogs.

Mourinho's facial expression when Tiago scored from about 30m out against manchester utd in 05.

Especially that we couldn't have picked a better time to play them. Their form is only better than wolves.

Bos will probably play CB and Paulo at RB. In fairness, Bos has done very well at CB everytime he played there.

Not being able to play is punishment enough. How can they stop him from celebrating with the team?

Alaba won't be too bad since they can move Lahm to LB and play Rafinha on the right. But Badstuber is their only fit CB and they were already playing boateng out of his usual RB position to cover at CB. They will probably play Tymochuck (no idea how that's written ) along side him, so both their CB will, hopefully, be playing out of their natural positions and will be easy prey for DD (here's to hoping).

For Avram Grant!

I'd personally choose Paulo any day over Bos, not sure Robbie agrees with me though.

Never too confident against Liverpool lately, but with Robbie and Eddie, you just feel it's written in the stars.

No reason he shouldn't be.

You might have missed the bigger picture there.

Found the Lmapard goal

Actually Chelsea have more adequate solutions for the suspensions at the back than Bayern. We will probably play Bosingwa RB, Luiz and Cahil as CBs, and Cole in the LB, unless someone gets injured. But yes, it is one of the UEFA's stupider rules.

2005 quarter finals, Lamps scored a beauty at SB where we won 4-2. Can't find the video but take my word for it, it was one sweet volley.

Yeah, I forget we play on Wednseday. But we can't get complacent, those relegation sides are tougher to play than Newcastle and Liverpool at this stage of the season.

Obviously Luiz if fit, I heard he's a couple of days away from returning. Otherwise, it'll be either Bos or Romeu.

Gustavo, Alaba and Badstuber

We can't play penalties agaiinst anyone, we're shit at them!
