Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Perfect game for us to start a comeback..let's hope we can find some form.

I think you really underestimate the German side my friend. They are in great form, Ballack is scoring...a lot, and if I'm really honest, I think their midfield is better than ours. Plus, like all german teams, they are extremely organized and hard to break down defensively, so if we concede first, we are very likely to lose the match.

I think this is the worst game for us to start a comeback.

Gana no doubt be a nervey horrible last 5 minute comeback..cant see a trashing or us going goal crazy a slim win if at all a win

Exactly the German League has come a long way in the last few years , this will be a tough fixture. id take a draw.

We have to try our best to win this game and not settle for anything less.

Don't want to go into matchday 6 against a good Valencia side in danger of not making the round of 16.

The main thing is not to loose i would rather go to Valencia with a point than nothing. This will be a very tough game.

I agree that a win is important, but a loss is disastrous. Against Liverpool and Arsenal we really went for the win when the games were level, but that backfired in both matches and we lost both from the counter. So maybe if the game is level at the closing stages we are better off playing it safe.

I'd gladly take a draw from this one.

wins in the CL level would give some hope for Roman .

if we lose then there is nothing worse than that even though we have witnessed the worse many a times so far this season

Won't be able to watch this, J. Cole performance tomorrow!

Hope it's a good one. (in both events)

Anelka evidentally didn't travel to Germany.

[dodojojo 510]

Damn, Anelka would have been a nice option.

I'm walking around thinking Chelsea are going to win this. Not even thinking of a loss.

But if I sat myself down and looked at the 5 game trend for Chelsea--this is a draw at best and a loss will not be unexpected. Let's hope the guys play inspired and pull one out.

[dodojojo 510]

January is 6 weeks away, Anelka can't play meanwhile? Maybe it's an injury rather than a transfer move.

[Tortilla9 390]

Was Anelka even on the bench Sunday? Nothing's been mentioned about injury....

[Severinb 309]

Won't be able to watch this, J. Cole performance tomorrow!

Hope it's a good one. (in both events)

J.Cole was on fire toonight!

We could really need him :eyebrows:

Right-back Paulo Ferreira also stayed at home,

Guess who will play at left back

[Kieran. 6,317]

AVB's decision to exclude Bertrand is mindblowing and probably his worst decision yet.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Guess who will play at left back

But surely Rya...Oh right.
