Closed Chelsea vs Benfica

[Ollie 4,400]

We should forget about Barca really and think of what a great opportunity we have to get to another UCL Semi. Will be a hell of an achievement if we get there. I'm very nervous about this game now actually because there's a lot on the line even tho we're in a great position, we are Chelsea. We don't do things the easy way. Never have, never will.

[Strike 6,965]

Start mentally at 0-0, win the game, get the job done. Just needs to be treated as a 1 off game of football at home in front of your fans. Can't treat it like we had it won like Liverpool in 08/09. That was the scariest match of my life.

Same here. We were absolutely bollocks at the start. Shouldn't repeat it tonight because last time we dug ourselves out through a fluke drogs goal and the fk from alex. can't give it up to chance now

Common mate you should be right 4.45 am start. I'll be up

I have an assignment due tomorrow, and the 4:45 start is a bit disruptive. If it was earlier, say 2:30, then I could work up till then and hold off sleeping until after the game, wake up at around 10-11 and finish it off. If it was later, I could work until 2 and then sleep until kickoff, have a nap after the game and finish it off at around 10 as well. It's the worst time because it disrupts my even sleep and forces me to turn in early

Daylight savings suck huh! game is at 645 instead of 845 =[.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Daylight savings are horrible. I don't like summer nights where the sun is still up at 8:30.

[Death B4 Dishonour 32]

Looking forward to getting up at 4:30 for this

[Billy. 2,739]

3-1 on the might Torres to bang in 2 Luiz with the other, cant really see us messing this one up tbh.

[Kezza 1,965]

I like it, means i can skate longer lol

[Ben. 57]

Nando to score,

Brana to be a defensive powerhouse,

and Rambo to kill it on the wing as always.

Carn the blues <3

[Kezza 1,965]

We need another Torres Brana corner duo!

Hi! I expect that today's game will be a great game because Benfica only wants to score and will play a very offensive game and if we don't score in 1st half then Chelsea win by 2 or 3. Benfica has 3 or 4 CB's injuried, Luisão is an incognite and will play with Javi Garcia and maybe Emerson at CB so our defense will be vulnerable, otherwise our atack will try to score and we score allways away from home. I prefer to win our next game with Sporting Lisbon that is very important for us to be champions so I just want to see a big game by two great teams

[capriccioso 2,545]

Emerson at centre back?

Let's try Kalou and Sturridge and Torres as a forward central 3 in a narrow 4-3-3 then!

[Jusek 2,031]

Can't.... wait....

[Niggalhao 4]

Beat Benfica, beat Barcelona, beat Bayern!

Then you wake up.

[jocke_gbg 17]

Gonna be magic! 2-0 is my guess.. Torres to start, Lampard and Terry to score...

[Niggalhao 4]

Emerson at centre back?

Let's try Kalou and Sturridge and Torres as a forward central 3 in a narrow 4-3-3 then!

Emerson can play well too.

[petr.breu 1,618]

Then you wake up.

Let me dream... But honestly, we can do this, maybe we'll need to beat Real instead of Bayern :ph34r2:
