Magic Lamps

Leighton Baines Jordi Alba was never in contention, but Leighton Baines has overhauled Ash this season, faster, stronger, more solid, far better crosses and superior overall offensive impact

What problems do you have with Nando's performance. So happy Torres is back... without him we would have been pretty fucked

Bayern fans are always quick to salivate. it would be an immense encouter they really would take it personally, if we faced them. One more reason to dig the nail even deeper into their flesh. But I hope their season will end in tears again anyway.

would love this, too. Fener and us have a little history together, their fans are really passionat and it would make a great final. I somehow also fear Benfica a bit more tbh

These Basel players are a joke, rueing their missed chances and bad luck. under normal circumstances this is a hammering for them. The refs really collectively fight against us this season in all competitions on all fronts. Every player in the league knows he can do everything vs chelsea without being punished and every game we concede at least one soft penalty.

what a game

whatever we completely fucked them, should have comfotably won, it is our mistake, basel was weak

should have won this game 6-0 or so.

you always got the feeling we will fuck this up

I think our wastefulness has been our only constant point this season...

wasteful wasteful

important away goal comes after an amazing corner.

This is gonna be tough, they will be absolutely raring to go. I hope the atomosphere will spur us on boucing back once again.

I think in fact it is a rather the good old 4-3-3 with ----Luiz---- Rami--Lamps strong enough, IMO

did not know that either. Love how Dailyfail makes it up as "Chelsea players with another love scandal". Neither of them actually played for Chelsea when that happened. Btw she is defo not worth it. Quite average.

Lewandowski and Gomez about the same prize....mhmmm....hard choice...

This is so fuckin amazing, how the German teams have performed this season, I can't belive this, it is like the script was written in Summer after Italy and Chelsea defeated Germany and Bayern. They were just in front of my nose, but i was never aware they could do this. OK, Real and Barca where mere shadows, fuckin abysmal, but wow you still have to control them like BVB and FCB did. I do not like German teams in general, but they are now there, where they have always seen themselves. These brillant tactics, effort, mentality and teamwork is what we should aim to instil in our players, esp our youth, instead of buying hyped midgets. Down with Spanish football. An all German Final in English is a humilation

I think it is rather because we are a "black hole" for Dortmund. They obviously have no relationship to our club whatsoever. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/dortmund-claim-the-bridge-is-a-dark-hole-since-kenyon-left-8585854.html hate it how these hypocrits think they have to make their judgement upon everything and everyone but Watzke is probably right that we lack competent leaders at our board. Honestly who would rather live in Manchester than in London, lol.

My cat would have scored that one. Even Torres goal vs Barca last year was harder to convert. One goal against an abysmal Barca team does not make you a world class striker. His goals are tap ins, only made possible by horrendous defending. A tap in is no pressure situation, anyone can score these.

You guys should calm down... this is only Basel, they are shit and their progress against Tottenham was a fluke. They won't score so easily from corners again and that's that. Even our B-team should suffice to put them in their place. We are the mighty Chelsa, even though not that mighty atm, still worlds ahead of Basel. benitez did his fuckin changes "with basel in mind" so we should have one of the maestros relatively fresh. No idea why Torres played that liverpool game at all, cos he has to play here now too and tired he is even more useless than fresh.

This is why we should never again be trying to play tiki-taka.

Not really surprised being robbed by the ref once again. he should have sent off 3 liverpool players and ended the game 1 minute before they scored their goal. There simply is no justice in football.

Torres plays like shit? let him play the whole game. Team is gonna win? sub off its best players.

game with normal number of pauses? Lets give 6mins of stoppage time. 6mins are not enough for liverpool to score? lets make 7 outta it.

the ref is such a whore
