Strike

something like that

what about the old guard? should/will they start? didi is mostly out while cole and JT will start. Lamps and Essien is the question

i m not disregarding benfica. i am merely expressing confidence on bobby d to nail it

our defence is better than napoli's. v shud give ourselves credit because as chelsea fans, we spend more time worryin the worst rather than being confident

then... Now....

^yeah. i guess that would be enough to feed the whole squad...

http://www.moneybagsfull.com/2010/08/abramovic-lunch-bill-47221.html I wonder who those 6 customers were......RA, Lamps, terry, cole, dd and essien is my guess

thankfully, it didn't pan out

i don't think i can watch the benfica game (gutted, i know) relying on talkchelsea

yeah. especially if benfica's highly regarded attack turns up

^ v hav one foot in the semis though

Barca - revenge - eod Hopefuly the damn ref is not blind this time

I know the team needs quality players. Both Hazard and eriksen are needed lookin at our midfield. But given that it doesn't look like v will be in the champions league, v r taking a huge hit financially and we wont be allowed to compete in UCL if v donot trudge by their rules.

warnie 666 was the one who was sayin about Willian Sorry.My bad. All the names kinda get messed up No need of Hazard AND lucas/eriksen. financial fairplay blah blah...

Benayoun maybe old but he is a good backup. Utility player who plays anywhere in midfield and Josh Mceachran is being kept out of the Swansea side by Gylfi Sigurdsson. Maybe he needs another loan but no need to go out and buy Hazard AND willian. Financial Fair play rules will screw us

No need to replace Meireles. We'l have Josh McEachran! and also Yossi Benayoun

^ I like that team but instead of both Willian AND Hazard, isn't it better to use our youth? the likes of kevin de bruyne, josh mceachran and lucas piazon. and wouldn't mind cavani if falcao is too costly

good point but remember liverpool right? We came in to defend and were 2-0 down at HT But I agree with you. We need to approach this game, no different than the first leg. But we shouldn't get pinned down to our own half

spot on. u have never been more right rather than looking for a new manager, we should do better by signing up Steve Clarke, Ray Wilkins and yeah, obviosly better players. Whoever the manager maybe, it doesn't matter unless v clear dead wood and bring in new blood

v r at home...v shouldn't 'contain' them here...

remember the liverpool 4-4? we came in and defended. it was 2-0 by half-time. We should definitely not defend

cant wait for wednesday! in the meantime, come on Milan!

Like who? Hiddink can stabilise the club and then a younger manager can come in and lead us forward

no need to worry on that....brann is back

What about Guus Hiddink and the clause in his contract to become a free agent in June? Hiddink > van gaa l> rdm> blanc/capello/moyes???
