Our squad is too thin to rest 8 players at the same time.

I guess we'll see first hand how good he really is when we play them in the CL.

Torres in third place

A replay would be a disaster in terms of games congestion.

Very true. People often fail to see that Paulo was once the best at what he does in Europe. He was immense in our back to back league titles under Jose.

Haha happens to me all the time . But I usually patch it up by editing it into something related to the topic instead of actually admitting I posted in the wrong thread.

I like iva at RB, because despite not being a typical modern day RB, he offers something very few fullbacks offer now a days and that is a solid defensive display. He may not get past a defender too often and show off fancy skills and foot work, but he does perfectly what a RB is supposed to do and that is put in a decent cross. He is also one of our biggest threats from corners.

Doesn't Dyer play on the right wing?

This one is at Cobham, right?

Full pre-match conference:

Luiz played for abut 20mins while injured. The man needs to be rested. No idea where that came from. He did nothing wrong, but neither did he do anything remarkable.

Cech Bos-Cahil-JT-Rayn Romue-Raul Danny-Mata-Kalou Torres

This will be another attacking tie. Away goals will be vital, imo.

Barca in the semis and the return leg is at camp nou :faint:

Apoel vs Madrid OM vs Munich Benfica vs Chelsea

He said after that game that he guarantees that he will win the fans over if appointed . (can't find the article now).

Any time mate

His puch at Torres makes me laugh even more. I bet he was saying: "This is for missing that open net"

No I think it is, mate. Sheva was in the stands yesterday and later joined the team in the after-party. http://www.dailymail...ing-Napoli.html Iva always said that he saved his career by convincing him to stay at Chelsea. So it is very likely it was a gesture by Iva to his friend. http://soccerphase.com/index.php?option=com_news&news_id=3710 As for torres, I think it was just a coincidence. He was probably gesturing to someone.

There is really no easy draw at this stage. I guess everyone wants Benfica because their players lack the experience of the CL knock-out stages.

lol exactly, especially in the CL!

I hope you're right. Either way, we can't afford those kind of signings when FFP rules start.

You speak like don't know chelsea, mate. We don't sell players, we let them go for free.

He had already played 180 mins in the last 10 days; imagine if he had played 120 more, he would've been burned out for the rest of the season. Besides, we need him badly against city, his performance there, imo, will pivotal part of the match.

That's 12m down the drain.
