DavidEU 2,023 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (1) Chelsea FC Vs Fenerbahce S.K (2) Avram Grants Chelsea must overcome a 2-1 deficit on Tuesday to progress to their 4th Champions League semi-final in 5 seasons against Turkish giants Fenerbahce. Despite appearing to be in control for much of the first half and gaining an early 1-0 lead, Chelsea slipped in the second half, and Zico's men scored twice in the space of twenty minutes courtesy of ex-Sheffield United man Colin Kazim-Richards and a thirty yard screamer from Deivid. Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Manchester City, whilst Fenerbahce were held to a 1-1 draw. The game saw a return for Roberto Carlos who could now face Chelsea at the Bridge on Tuesday. Petr Cech did not return to the Chelsea line-up for the game but after being rated 50-50 for the trip to Eastlands should be in contention for this game. Only a Chelsea win will send the Blues through, and Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho should return to the line-up. Mateja Kezman will return to the Bridge for the first time since spending a year at the club. Come on you Chels! KTBFFH!Match chat here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Only a Chelsea win will send the Blues through To be precise, a win with the scoreline of 1-0 3-1 2-0 ,3-0 or more can send us through. We have to make sure we keep a clean sheet for this match and score the Goal. I would have been more confident about this one with Jose Mourinho in charge. But with Grant, its 50-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I would have been more confident about this one with Jose Mourinho in charge. But with Grant, its 50-50 Same.You know his subs be spot on,not experiment for big games!! Erm 1-0.I think we can do this.If they score 1 then we're screwed cause really we're gana have to get 4 to avoid pens.Eeeeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemisu 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 If Avram plays 4 - 4 - 2 with Drogba and Anelka up front, Cole and Kalou on the wings, could easily get 2 or 3 past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 But he will have to bench one of ballack and lampard. May be start with 4-3-3 an then change to 4-2-2 in second half if we need goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I cant wait for this game, got my tickets and i'm so excited about this because its just such a massive game and its perfectly poised. 2-1 down, champions league quarter final 2nd leg, if we win we might get liverpool and revenge those 2 screwjobs.......dont get much bigger than that. Only a game down to wastefullness or major bad luck or "one of those games" will stop us going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Roumers are comming out now that Grant is going to start with Essien at right back again and Malouda on the left wing! Just goes to show how he doesn't learn a thing......even if we do win tonight it is the wrong players to play there. The massively ineffectual Malouda to play in one of the biggest games of our season where we HAVE to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
