Boateng seems like he will be fit to play

Bertrand shouldn't start tonight, people need to realize that this is a Champions League final, the most important game in the club's history.

Malouda has played in a Champions League final and in a World Cup final. I know that he's shit, but it's all about experience tonight. I don't think that Bertrand can handle the pressure.

i disagree. inexperience doesn't trump

1.fits tactically

2.best chelsea player whenever he has started in last few games

3. can go up and down the left flank all week

4. trusting sturridge or torres there is next to suicidal

5. malouda recovering from injury

Boateng picked up a knock, but will still play, apparently.

They could finish the game with no CB's...

[Superblue 6,372]

Malouda is an injury risk aswell - you can't play three players nursing hamstring injuries. Luiz and cahill must be risked so malouda will miss out.

The only other option to bertrand is essien to shore up the midfield but then mata will end up isolated on the wing and he may be key tonight with the absence of guztavo.

This reminds me my tonight's dream where I saw that Essien started. I remember being disappointed at that decision.

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Drogba starting I'm guessing? Hopefully fucking batter Boateng and whoever else is their center backs. KTBFFH!

I've held back from posting in this thread, frankly because i've been trying to put it at the back of my mind for the last week or so (didn't work), but with two hours to go, i'm starting to feel the nerves kicking in.

We all know this is a huge night in the history of this club, potentially the greatest ever, on the back of a season that was, some weeks ago, looking like a disaster. No matter what happens tonight, I know that we, as Chelsea fans, will all still be hugely proud of the road to Munich and the performances along the way.

Forget the omens, forget Moscow, forget the fact the squad is depleted, this is about 11 vs 11 in a one-off game. We need to see eleven men ready to play their heart out for the shirt, proud to be playing for this club, proud to call themselves Chelsea players.

KTBFFH boys.
