Santiago.

Romeu looks class, first start since Jan

Rotation, as i mentioned earlier, and Yes Hutchinson can play RB and CB, just like Ivanovic can play CB and RB Piazon can either play wing or as an attacking midfielder, just like Mata can play LW and CAM, All about rotation

ahlan wa sahlan I mean in starting both Torres and Drogba for the away leg, look at the Chelsea vs Barcelona topic, i made a post about it

No Dilemma, see Chelsea vs Barca topic

All about rotation, that is the key -------------Lukaku---------- De Bryune-----------Kakuta -------Piazon--Mceachran--- -------------Romeu------------- Bertrand----------------Hutchinson ------------Luiz--Cahill-------------- --------------Courtois--------------- Now we got ourselves one hell of a carling cup/2nd team

Considering the lineup and the game plan for the away leg, this is what i would propose. From watching Barca throughout the season, they will be more than eager to try a three man defense leaving Alves to push up as a right mid, leaving Puyol to fill the space. Fact of the matter is, we will barley see any of the ball, but with this method, it gives us a more direct approach to the game which allows us to attack Barca on the counter. When Barca have the ball, as they will for the majority of the match, putting Torres up top leaving Drogba to drop and fill his defensive duties, while Torres attacks the defensive and midfield while they possess will benefit us the most. Out of my experience in watching Barca play, they are most afraid and look vulnerable when someone is attacking their defense when Puyol and Pique have the ball, that is where Torres comes in. With this method, it allows us to get involved with the play rather than sit back and watch Barca come at us similar to the first leg, which i can guarantee they will shove their foot down our throats if we don't have a man pressuring the defense, I.E Torres

Does Mata need to play? Yes, no doubt in my mind with the width the Nou Camp has to offer. On the other hand, we cannot allow Barca to have an easy task to keep the ball and attack us for 90 minutes, that is why i am desperately and hoping and begging RDM to start Torres up top leaving Drogba to drop down and defend. Torres is known for attacking the defense when the opponents have the ball and it would be excellent benefit if we started him rather than allow Barca to go all over us like the first leg. I am hoping this is the formation and lineup we will see... -----------------Torres--------------- ----------------------------------------- -----------------Drogba-------------- ---Ramires----------------------Mata --------Lampard-------Mikel---------- A.Cole--------------------------Ivanovic ------------J.Terry------Cahill---------- --------------------Cech-------------------

Was on the Barca Forum and clicked on the Drogba topic, half of it is filled with utter biased garbage in how Drogba is a cunt and a diver. So the fact we have 'one' player on our squad who dives just erases the fact that Barca are filled with them? Mach, Busqu, Alves, Pedro, all fucking jokes, but noooo they don't bring that up now do they? Also the fact that we 'Parked the :Bus' makes us cowards? LOL, this tactic is what is strictly and directly your weakness, many teams try to play you and failed, we don't

Who are we linked with now that AVB is gone and that we won't qualify for Europe? Is it true Roman made a list of every super star he wants and gave it to RDM and said pick the ones you want? So many rumors Anyway, this would be my preferred OUT Drobga Torres Miereles Bosingwa Malouda Ferreira In- Falcao- 25mill +Torres Hazard- 35mill Lavezzi- 25mill Azpi-15mill Ganna be a bidding war for alot of these ------------Falcao------------ Lavezzi-----Mata------Hazard ------------------Ramires------- ---------Romeu------------------ A.Cole------------------Ivanovic ---------J.Terry----Luiz---------- ----------------Cech--------------- SUBS Sturridge Kalou Mikel De Bryune Cahill Bertrand Mceachran Piazon Lukaku Azpi Lampard

Would be very surprised if Barca play the 3 in the back

Had a dream we got through do to a controversial penalty in the 90th minute, then about 10 of us created barca accounts and trolled the living fuck out of that Forum

Got a good feeling

Yes, deep penetration that caused the victim to choke on their own smug

This is what my ideal result would be, First Leg -----------Drogba------------ Kalou-----Mata----Ramires ---Lampard------Mikel------ A.Cole----------------Ivanovic --------J.Terry---Luiz---------- --------------Cech--------------- Subs--- --Sturridge --Torres --Cahill This foramtion has benefited us under RDM and out there is our best possible starting 11. With our form/moral and power of this formation, i think we can get a victory with this. Presumably if we get a win or a scoreless draw, it does in the end benefit us. 2nd Leg (Away) --------------------------Torres---------- Mata--------Drogba--------------------- -------------------------Ramires-------- ---------Lampard----Mikel-------------- A.Cole--------------------------Ivanovic ------------J.Terry----Luiz--------------- ------------------Cech--------------------- Subs--- Cahill Sturridge Romeu/Essien No way in hell were going to out possess Barca at the nou camp, this formation is directly influenced on defending and forcing the counter attack with drogba dropping down to fill his defensive roles while Torres and Mata up top pressures the Barca defense.

It doesnt matter if the ball went over the line or not, it was a foul by J.Terry on collo anyhow lol

Why is it that every time we have an opponent in the CL a complete mong of a supporter signs up on a Chelsea forum and starts talking shit? Getting a bit old

You had me at Luiz Suarez would murder us? Better make sure Drogba isn't 2 feet away from him

So many people finding reasons to hate us all over Twitter in the most pathetic ways... -'Chelsea can't sell out 35,000 in a stadium in London, they are a pathetic club with pathetic fans' - How Terry pushed the players away from the ref after the second goal. Dickhole - Atkinson is supporting Chelsea and is under Roman's payroll. - Last goal Fat Frank will score for Chelsea that fat cunt - I hope Liverpool win. Cant stand Chelsea. Horrible club with Horrible fans I have one question for you....

Beautiful. Mikel was exceptional, one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt. MOTM for me Mata's assists were magnificent COYB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH the officiating in England is at the utmost pathetic, but thank you

He has talent but is a gamble, shows inconsistency

You're Welcome

King Wembley strikes again!! Keep it up lads
