thrasher1503 3 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ba can't play as he is cup tied - he played for Newcastle in the competition this season. Torres will play.Oh yeah i forgot about that, so we've basically got one striking option for the whole tournament... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hope we thrash them by a margin of 3 goals. Will be good to rest some players in the home leg just before the City clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovieticus 743 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Any chance of V. Moses coming up? or he will be in Nigeria having shit loads of fun with his teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The only reason i want us to last longer in this competition is so that Ba will get more premier league games ahead of torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The only reason i want us to last longer in this competition is so that Ba will get more premier league games ahead of torres.Or maybe Torres gets injured in the Europa league...forcing Benitez to use a youngster like Feruz up-front.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Any chance of V. Moses coming up? or he will be in Nigeria having shit loads of fun with his teammatesEfe Ambrose was back playing fo Celtic last night, so the Nigeria players should all have returned to their clubs now. Whether RB thinks they're ready to play on Thursday is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Man United came to Prague to play Sparta a couple of years ago and it ended 0-0. Liverpool came to Prague to play Sparta two years ago and it ended 0-0. Sparta is not capable of doing anything special and the other team simply know they will have no problems at home. I believe this will be another 0-0 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 According to JT Europa League must play second fiddle to a top four finish.Finally, someone says it in the open. Therefore, I assume the players will not break their legs over this game in Prague, I hope.Whether they win or lose it´s fine either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 This could be a perfect tournament for non-experienced player with european competitions like hazard, azpi, oscar, moses and marin and also for the goal record of lampard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Efe Ambrose was back playing fo Celtic last night, so the Nigeria players should all have returned to their clubs now. Whether RB thinks they're ready to play on Thursday is another matter. And he was culpable for two goals yesterday. Was always going to be a risk; would he be operating on pure adrenaline, or be totally side-tracked? Backfired for Lennon last night. Mikel and Moses should be given time to rest and then come back into the side against Brentford. Also, I think what Terry has said is disappointing. Are we adopting a small club mentality and thinking a top four finish is the equivalent of a trophy? We're the defending European champions, and to go out of this tournament on a whim after the way we were unceremoniously dumped out of the UCL, albeit on a technicality, would be even more embarrassing for this club.Think about it - we've fucked up in the League Cup, the league has been out of reach since early November and we've blown three relatively decent chances of silverware in the Community Shield, the UEFA Supercup and then the Club World Cup. We can't afford to put all of our eggs in the Premier League-or-nothing basket. This competition, along with the FA Cup - they are the only chances of silverware we have this season. If we go out there and don't put any effort in, it will be an absolute disrespect towards the supporters and another layer of disappointment on this catastrophe of a season.

bushman 2,043 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Even though I partially agree with the above statement by mediator. However, I would rather see those players or most of them being rested for Chelsea´s more important games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sparta Prague are a better team than Brentford; I'd rather us put out a strong team tomorrow night and get most of the work done in the first leg. Then you can rest your players ahead of the City game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well, then one must ask. What game is more important for the club ?To stay in EL or win against Brentford ?Money wise, CL competition for next year must be Chelsea´s priority as already indicated by the club.

If we go out there and don't put any effort in, it will be an absolute disrespect towards the supporters and another layer of disappointment on this catastrophe of a season. I think JT is just being realistic. Top Four qualification is a must for this club and if that means sacrificing the Europa League and FA Cup then so be it. That isn't a small club mentality, but a realistic, pragmatic approach to our situation. I've seen you arguing the toss about the football we played in the CL last year, saying that it was the only way we could win and you're spot on. It was a pragmatic response to the reality that Barcelona were a better team than us. Sure we could've gone out and tried to outplay them but that would've been suicidal (as Wenger demonstrated not too long ago). Sometimes you have to take the long term view that a bit of restraint now allows you a bit of freedom later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
