Chelsea should be very cautious.... IMO, 4231 is too dangerous, it should be a 433 with a midfield of Ramires, DL and Azpi ... Cole's experience can be very instrumental, besides he has been great the last two matches

going to be a very difficult game... But I'm keeping the faith, we will do this! Hoping both JT and Hazard will be available, my team for the night would be Schwarzer Iva GC JT A.cole Ramires D. Luiz Azpilicueta Willian Eto'o/Torres Hazard I think this team has both fire and steel in it, having energy, stamina and defensive stability at both flanks, Willian and Hazard wont have to worry and spend too much of their time tracking back... in addition the system can easily switch to accordingly in a latter stages of the game .. COME ON YOU BLUES!! PS: I'm also hoping Eto'o will be available since he's better suited operating in a tight space, ktbffh

we have most of the best center back in the world, its crazy

Matic's dribble at some point in the second half was immense!! love that guy

I guess Rodgers have yet a lot to learn from his master

Kalas-Ivanovic vs Suarez-Sturridge ....

if they manage to win 12 games straight, I think no one can say anything against them being chapmpions ... but I think they'll drop points today

my only motivation to watch the game

we've got a great coach, the media can go to hell

A good point there ... but atletico isn't half the possession team Bayern is and I'd be the first to applause jose to park a f'n Boeing 747 when we face either of the teams in the other tie

I try not to ...can't help it most of the time though

I wish we could ruin the party for Liverpool ... but I'm with Jose on this one, he should field most of our bench

because of the 'away goal rule', the smaller time left to play, its more advantage for the guest team (the risk the home side runs is twice that of the guest) .... because a goal for the away team means the home team should score twice as much in the time left... to say the same thing in an other way, in the later periods of the game the home side should be much more careful not to concede... so if the game goes in to extra time, a goal for Atletico means chelsea should score twice in a period t < 30 min. but a goal for Chelsea means Atletico should only score once.. u dig?

you mean one, right?

you too huh? ... I'll say the same thing to you, CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING A BETTER SPEAKER AND WRITER OF YOUR LANGUAGE THAN A FOREIGNER ... and expect more mistakes from me, thank you

this makes a little more sense ... but I still think Jose took too much risk with his starting line up, inviting Atletico to attack us that much was crazy, IMO.. and we shouldn't be this happy about the result

have nothing against you, what is it you want?

I usually ignore idiots, but hey.. let's have fun ... 1) English is not my first language, or my second.. and yes, I've never been to SB ... so don't worry about my english as long as you get what I mean. But given u'r maturity level (and since I belive in letting people have their fix) I'll give this one to you, YOU ARE BETTER AT YOUR OWN LAGUAGE THAN ME 2) I didn't say chelsea should be as good as RM/BM right now, but, even at this level, we shouldn't be scared in to parking the bus against Atletico 3) The injury of JT and Peter had no impact in the game plan, defending was the game before and after the substitutions ... any how, ..chill man, take it easy

thank you genius

I'm not saying we need a miracle to beat Atletico, but we'll need some if/when we meet who ever comes on top of the RM-Bayern tie and after spending in excess of 100M on attacking players, this shouldn't have been the case and, at least, we shouldn't be pissing our pants for the lots of Atletico and Liverpool

as much as I enjoyed our CL victories in 11/12 ... I never wanted to see us play that way ever again

why oh why didn't Jose ask for strikers and midfielders who can actually play football back in the summer? ... our season would've been so different right now

calm the fuck down. I know that was his game plan, but the question is does the result suit us? we all know how we've been performing against teams defending deep this season... I know even crazier shit has happened in football and I'm not giving up hope yet but I'm tiered of watching the team doing it the hard way, I'm tiered of nervy last minutes... YOU ARE HOPING FOR A MIRACLE, I'M HOPING FOR ONE TOO... WE ALL ARE.. but aint you tiered of it?

that wont be much of a difference, we all know SB aint that loud ... btw, where did the flags go? ... I'm so disappointed in Jose right now. how in hell does a team with so much attacking talent play that way? and I can't believe people are proud of the performance

I think the result favors Atletico we've struggled against parked buses all season, and tactically atletico will come to give us the taste of our own medicneplaying extra time will favor the away teamif it comes to it, they'll have a better chance in penalty shoot out because they've by far a better GKwe've lost lampard, JT and peterdue to its smaller pitch size, SB is suited for parking the bus and counter atacking
