CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 With the Man City game on Wednesday, I will be very surprised if any player that played the whole 120 minutes against Napoli would feature in this game.Our squad is too thin to rest 8 players at the same time.

Ivan came off against Stoke because of exhaustion so he needs a rest because he also played 120 mins against Napoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hutch, Romeu, Lukaku should be on the bench with Bertrand starting. All to be given some minutes, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're recent 3-1 win over Birmingham would give them some confidence going into this game.But you wont get any higher than our emotional 4-1 win over Napoli in the Champions League mid-week. but you'll think a lot of players will be rested, Lampard, Essien, Drogba, Cole, Luiz, Ivanovic, Ramires all played 120 minutes 4 days ago and keeping in mind we played Manchester City and Tottenham in the next 7 days too. you'll likely see these changes from the mid-week starting line-up;Mikel in for EssienMeireles in for LampardBertrand in for ColeCahill in for TerryTorres in for DrogbaCould possibly see Bosingwa in for IvanovicEven with all the changes it's still a strong team and they should all be on a high after mid-week and want to continue the run of form.Chelsea 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhead23 1,147 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I hope it is either a win or a loss, just hope it is not a draw. We already have too much on our plates right now to add one more on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 With that kind of performance against Napoli, we can't afford to lose this now! I'm expecting a 2-0 win for us today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hoping for a good performance and a straightforward win today. Definitely wouldn't want a replay and a game like on Wednesday. Don't think I can handle watching 2 games like that in a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I predict a 7-0 win with a Torres Bertrand hat-trick. You heard it here first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 ^ no chance. They've had an extra days rest and beat Birmingham with ease on Tuesday. On the other hand we had 120 minutes of gruelling football at a very high intensity against an exceptionally good side. We will have to make changes to account for injury and fatigue.

Ollie 4,400 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Feeling rather nervous about this because it's a quarter final and it's to get back to Wembley. I know Leicester should be fairly routine work but then Birmingham was supposed to be too. I think this will be a pretty tight game, i reckon we'll win it but it really wont be easy at all. They'll run us all the way. Changes are a must. These next few weeks are hectic beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I didn't mention this in my blog, but if Torres starts for us today, I think it's the perfect game for him to finally get on the scoresheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 He must start, he's fresh, he aint played much and i believe he'll 100% start this game. I'm sure he'll get chances, just hope he can finally catch a shot clean. This is big for Torres, he's never been to Wembley... in fact i don't think he's even won a club trophy so he should be hyped for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCFC 357 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yep, never won a major club title (except the Second Division with Madrid) and he's 28 on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
