The Big Drog 1,110 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is the biggest European game we have played in years (probably since our semi final second leg against Barcelona). Valencia are a very good side, they rested some of their key players at the weekend and do pose a very serious threat. The worry is that with their attacking nature and the amount of talent they have in their team, combined with our defensive instability, you can't help but see Valencia score at least once. I just can't see this ending 0-0 and a score draw means we are out. We have to be at our absolute best to beat this Valencia team.CechIvanovic, Luiz, Terry, ColeRamires, Romeu, MeirelesSturridge, Drogba, MataLuckily our front 3 are in good form, Romeu hopefully will get the nod ahead of Mikel and Meireles or Lampard will be a tough call but its important that when we get possession of the ball we keep it and Meireles does that better than Lampard. I will be optimistic and say 2-1 but I do have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that this could be one of those nightmare European nights.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Torres should start and Lampard shouldn't.Only changes i would make from the team that beat Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm not bothered if we lose or win this one to be honest, going out of Champions league early will be a big benefit imo, only thing is AVB will get sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr.breu 1,618 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I believe we´ll win this match. And against spanish team I will try Torres on top...ČechIvanović - Luiz - Terry - ColeRomeuRamires - MataSturridge - Torres - Malouda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We should only concentrate on winning this game by atleast 2 goals. Trying to end this game with a 0:0-result should not be even considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiot 71 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We should only concentrate on winning this game by atleast 2 goals. Trying to end this game with a 0:0-result should not be even considered.You got it! We were able to play 0 : 0 without any risk but these times are over. Our only chance is to go for the win.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Seeing as 1-1 going into extra time didnt work...0-0 defintly wont!!Massive massive massive game and we need a win.There is no point playing for a draw because we wont get it...they take chances,play like they did against Newcastle and play till the end off added time not switch off after 85 minutes!

Wavy Crockett 190 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We really should have won at the Mestalla..need the extra confidence from a win this time going into the match against City mondaytime to make amends.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullabletype 987 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Think if we put a similar squad out as the one against Newcastle and play as we did we can get what we need from this. Wont be easy, but sure, what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I had a nightmare that we lost 2-1, conceding two goals in stoppage time!It is vital that we take our chances in this game. Our lack of composure and failure to finish games off when we are leading by a goal has cost us dearly this season, especially in the CL.

DONI. 1,291 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 A very important game we should win anyway or say goodbye to CL.Perhaps this lineup would work: CechIvanovic, Luiz, Terry, ColeRamires, Romeu, MeirelesSturridge, Drogba, MataAnd in the second half to put Torres as always when he enters in second half he show a better game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Even if we scrape through this -probably go out in next round in this transition season..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Even if we scrape through this -probably go out in next round in this transition season.....I wouldn't mind if we go out in the next round but we have to reach that round at first. It would put a lot of pressure off AVB's shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would put a lot of pressure off AVB's shoulders. True-on the positive if we lose tomorrow the ropey league would give a chance to the youngsters.What all Chelsea fans want for Christmas is for this game and the Citeh game, is our £50m Fernando the Wonderhorse to shine....

Idiot 71 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 IF we go through to the next round it's a completely new tournament. We don't know which team we would have to face and there are many which we can compete with easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We also have to consider that if we fail to qualify (I don't expect us to do so...) it would affect the players mentally even more than if we go out in the next round. Winning such an important game gives you a mental boost for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 probably the most important match of the season. can turn the whole season around or finish whatever small hope we have to salvage something out of it. no doubt we will put our best team on the pitch which should likely becechiva ALEX jt coleoriolrambo raulsturridge matadrogbapls no luiz because he is simply stupid.
