Strike

why? without matic we have looked weak in midfield (first half of the season)

their midfield is good though. Matuidi Verratti Motta. Better than Chelsea's without Matic so need to be careful there

it's not definite. thiago silva is the constant. and alex and marquinhos share the other spot. i would say Alex 2/3rd and Marquinhos 1/3rd

Marquinhos isn't first choice. It'll mostly be Silva-Alex

their defence is there to be gotten at. except Silva there's Alex, Maxwell and VdV. not great. Think we can do damage there

Good draw. United LOL

yeah. you are right. i just hate barca tbh

this is low for someone who has a go at chelsea every now and then in the press

Chelsea the UNDERDOG vs the mighty ponces of Barca

yeah maybe. i don't think he's in the Kovacic mould anyway. Box to box player

Great news

MvG has good pressing/tackling but he's not that creative

the satisfaction of a win against barca is greater than against any of the other teams. especially if the winning goal is from a long-ball or a long throw to really stick it to the tiki-taka crap

eto'o has been terrible all season? is this some kind of wind-up?

that's true. United is the easiest of the lot. less travel. worst team left and all that bolded part - no he hasn't

he did but chelsea didn't play well

chelsea didn't play well in both league games vs united

is semi-final draw also on friday? or is it separate like last year?

he's still got it

I hope Chelsea get Barca

their defence will leak

don't forget the Benfica fans

Bad game from him. this guy will be an important player for us in the quarter finals. should improve the passing. yesterday, in such a comfortable game 69% is a joke really

Would love Barca

Now he's playing 20+ games and has had a decent season but what about when Chelsea have a new striker + Lukaku ahead of him in the order? He will not have the same impact starting rarely/ coming from the bench
