Chelsea to play Bayern Munich in the Final

[Henrique 9,133]

Why shouldn't Sturridge even be on the bench? What if we go a goal down? We need someone who can change a game. Yes Sturridge has been poor but if not him then we have to rely on fucking kalou

I dont think poor is the best world to describe his form. In fact he played nice against Napoli, and after that Di Matteo decide he would not play anymore. I dont know why.

[Henrique 9,133]

No, Torres should sit on the bench until Drogba's tired. Sturridge is in awful form and should not have the pressure of trying to find his form in such a huge game. We may have suspension problems but theirs are far worse than ours.

So Kalou should start?

[capriccioso 2,545]

So Kalou should start?

Not necessarily. We could go like this:

Essien-Mikel-Malouda

Lampard-Mata

Drogba

It's up to you to decide if Kalou is better than Essien and Malouda.

I dont think its true, and I dont care about this ridiculous supertitions.

yeah. agreed. last time it was in the Daily Fail a day after the final.

with any kit, we should try and attack in this one. not sit back and soak up the pressure

Hello guys, Bayern fan here,

this is the best final I could have asked for

honor to play your club and see Barca and Madrid knocked out by Bayern and Chelsea

yeah. he hasn't been bad. he was dropped vs spurs because ramires would track back to mark bale.and that is the reason why he dint play barca either. his tracking-back is non existent

What if we go a goal up and need to close out the game and he's on the pitch? Anyway, even going forward in his recent weeks he's a shadow of the player he was at the start of the year. Besides, we've got Torres on the bench to score goals, if we line up the way I think we will.

Lets hold off on that kit. I think they should play in the kit that brought them so much luck this season.

I dont think its true, and I dont care about this ridiculous supertitions.

Not that it matters, but it's actually the opposite..

This current home shirt is failure personified, it represents AVB's era.

[capriccioso 2,545]

It could also personify the resurgence of the team under Di Matteo.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Nice I wanted to play Bayern.

It will be a nice final.

Hope for the best.

[Term-X 7,891]

It could also personify the resurgence of the team under Di Matteo.

The white 3rd strip is now the most famous shirt of the season anyway..

The last time a Chelsea shirt donned gold for the first time, it was in a one-off final.. the community shield final. We won, going on to win the title.

Gold + Blue = winning combination.

It will be an El Classico finall they said

lol "we've got torres on the bench to score goals" sorry but in terms of goal scoring I don't trust Torres any more than Sturridge. That goal yesterday hasn't changed anything in that aspect.

I get your point but I don't think he's that much of a liability defensively. It's exaggerated imo. And without Ramires it's not as if we have any fantastic options on the right. Anyway imo he should definitely be on the bench as an option at least.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Bloody hell, I'm over my reps already. Sorry Strike, TX and FZ.

Exactly. How hard will it be for him to track back if RDM and co drill it into his mind that he HAS to get back? He will get back and help the defence against ribery in the final and given that bosingwa will likely start at RB, it's a no-brainer that he has to

Maybe u could ask BlueLion or Jim to increase reps to be given since we reached the final. worth a shot

Thank God it wasn't,

I never understood the hype of the El Classico final

the games are boring as hell

and I see it three times every season.

Exactly. Real and Barca collide in Spain all the time, El Clasicos have become a farce. It would be nothing new. It's much more exciting when 2 different leagues and teams who rarely play each other - you don't know what to expect.
