Performance doesn't matter at this stage! Win at all costs! City not playing and Arseanal away to Stoke who they always struggle against, potentially a decent weekend for us. I think Hazard needs a rest though i really do. Last couple of games he has been very very quiet. Cech Iva, Cahill, JT, Azpi Matic, Ramires, Willian, Oscar, Schurrle Torres

Anyway, if we keep it tight at the back and keep Didier quiet then i think out attacking 3 can do the damage and put this tie to bed!! A score draw i would take and even a 2-1 defeat as i would be confident we can overturn that in the home leg. but i am going to go with a 2-0 chelsea win! Hazard and Lampard.

I have to say i don't understand most of these Turks signing up to this forum crowing on about how their team is this and that, Chelsea have no chancem, Welcome to Hell blah blah blah blah blah... Why not sit there quietly. Win the football match, then brag about how good your team is and how no English team will get through, because the way you have gone about it If/when you lose/go out, you are going to look like like complete cocks! Even more so than you already do.

I'd like to echo that ^ Anything that pushes all three out the door never mind Torres is welcomed from me. They all need to go in the summer!

Has to be Salah for Oscar! Inject some friggin pace in our game!

Oscar having a shocker so far

Please win this one Chelsea!! To be 4 points ahead before the Arse and City kick off hopefully psychologically will put thwm on a downer. Don't want City getting ahead of us especially as they have a game in hand. My team. Cech Iva, Cahill, JT, Azpi Matic, Lamps, Willian, Oscar, Hazard Torres No 'resting' players before Gala on Wednesday. 3 points is essential!!

I believe the answer you are looking for is 42.

He was asked for his opinion on the City-Barca game and he gave it. Simple as that. Massive fuss over nothing really. I think flabbygas and the rest of them need to find out the whole story and why he made the quote before making silly comments like that.

Totally agree! Cahill is far better defensively than Luiz. This is by no means knocking Luiz, i am a massive fan of his, i'm just stating the facts. (Don't mean to sound like Rafa there) Cahill for me reminds me of a young JT. He isn't afraid to put his body on the line to defend our goal, and i love that! Luiz on the other hand is much more a showboater and get's himself into trouble on to many occasions. Going forward though Luiz is fantastic. His range of passing, composure, goal scoring ability... for me it is a no brainer Luiz should play in midfield. Another point about who should play with Cahill if JT is injured. Why does Jose not play Iva in the middle. Azpi at RB and Ash at LB?? I am not quite sure what Ash has done wrong??

Has the potential to become our greatest ever player in my opinion. His ability on the ball is mindblowing! Similar to Franco in many ways, just faster. Add the amount of gos he scores as well.... who knows what statistics this boy could end up with at the end of his career.

Is there anyone else who would love to punch Samir Nasri square in the face?? I f***ing hate him with a passion! His goal yesterday got right under my skin and he is starting to make a habit of scoring against us :-(

Come on Chels, back to winning ways here. After the result against West Brom and with Arsenal and Citeh having winnable games, nothing less than a win will do here. Torres replacing Eto'o up front for me. Other than that. Keep the team unchanged.

There is nothing wrong with him playing there though. Against a team as good as City we have a better chance of winning playing a player with the experience and form and ability of Ramires than that of Shurrle and/or Salah... in my opinion anyway.

What's wrong with Ramires on the wing? He has played well there on a number of occasions.

What a confidence booster for us if we can do them again! Go at it all guns blazing in my opinion. Hazard, Willian and Eto'o deserve a rest though. All three have been outstanding the last few weeks. Bench them and use them when the going gets tough. To do City three times this year would be amazing:-D Schwarzer Azpi-Iva-Luiz-Cole Ramires-Lamps Salah-Oscar-Schurrle Torres

Also i will add to that!! If we got past Barnsley in the 1/4 final of the FA Cup (how did we lose that) Would have had Cardiff in the semi and Pompey in the final. Again, oh what might have been.....

Agree with 07-08 team. Was only one luckily given pen in the league cup final, two stupid dropped points in the last minute to wigan (and heskey scored.... D'OH) and JT slipping away from winning 3 trophies. Oh what might have been...

One of my favourite's is the home game vs Napoli. I was standing right behind the goal at the Matthew Harding end. Everything about that night was magic!

In my opinion the art of taking great corners seems to have been lost. More often than not they hit the first man or fly overeverybody and out for a throw. I find it so frustrating!! Freekicks for me has to be oscar, hazard or willian just outside the box and luiz or lamps further out.

One word - LEGEND

City have some very fabourable fixtures next six but as already said they have some away fixtures to come and hopefully after our result last night they have lost that aura of invincibility at home! We are clicking into place. Very solid at the back and electric going forward and i think the belief is there. Last night was a typical Mourinho performance! Stating the obvious but we have a very very very good chance.

The ref was Mike Dean... that says everything for me lol

For me MOTM has to be Cahill! He was like a wall 'Thou shall not pass' and all that jazz! And ao unlucky not to score Having said that i thought Hazard and Matic were both incredible also. What a performance from the boys! Come on the Chels!!! :-D

We HAVE to win this or tonght's result is pointless. Should be a home banker but then again so was the West Ham game! Still, I'll try and stay confident! Like didierforever mentioned without Cabaye they looked so poor. 2-0. Arsenal and city draw, happy dayyys :-) Come on the Chels!!
