Closed Chelsea v Rubin Kazan

[Azpinator 2,325]

I can't imagine FSW doing a QPR for a 3rd time!

I wish I can tell someone to just fucking shut the fucking fuck up. But I don't want to get banned.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Cech

Iva - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand

Ramires - Mikel

Mata - Oscar - Hazard

Moses

This game is going to be boring as hell.

[Mustafa 885]

This is gonna be the first Chelsea game I've missed since Bayer Leverkusen at home in the Champions league last season ...

I say we play a strong side, get a good lead to take to Moscow... If we start with Mazacar, best possible scenario is we get a couple goals before the last half hour of the game and then sub them off and have them ready for sunderland.

I don't want us losing or drawing here all else we are gonna have to play our big guns in the return leg and then again on that Sunday against City ... Man, our schedule is fucked up !

[laeth 527]

Fuck the Europa League. Wish we would just quit - such an annoying competition. Having to tracel to bloody Russia. RUSSIA! Argh.

[ymalleb 14]

Oscar & Hazard must be rested in this game. I would start Mata, because without him we shouldn't expect we can get many chances. Also, because of his nature playing style, without much running & tackling while focusing more on vision and passing ability. We could have him for the sunderland game too, or worst case prepare him on the bench.

Anyway, the idea to rest Mazacar and rely on fringe players is totally nuts unless we give up this competition.

[Special Juan 27,101]

2-0 win would be lovely, and we are well capable of that.

I don't like this competition but no way in hell am I hoping we get knocked out.

Mon the Chels.

Chelsea are faced with another dilemma as to what to do, whom to play tonight.

Personally, once again I do not care much about this competition. Especially when the top four PL places are at stake here.

To win a trophy, EL, FA would be nice but not at the expense of top four, I feel.

Once again, it´ll be up to Rafa´s way of thinking & his choice of line-up for tonight´s game.

Regardless of the outcome, I will support the team & pray no one gets injured tonight.

Currently, Chelsea needs everyone healthy & ready for PL games.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a relatively strong team tonight to try and win the tie in the first leg so we can rest players before the City game.

Cech

Ferreira JT Ivanovic Bertrand

Lamps Ake

Moses Mata Hazard

Torres

[Kieran. 6,317]

Should play a strong team and build a big lead so we can have players stay home when we leave for Moscow.

Cech

Moses Mata Hazard

Torres

This will be really close, I believe

[Leif 6,006]

I want a youth player thrown in. Don't care who. I guess Ake is the only one who'd actually even get considered though for some reason.

Torres will start; I doubt we'll ever see this "Moses starting up top" thing.

Marin will probably start and infuriate me again.

Bertrand should do a decent job.

Lamps could fit in well today depending on the opposition's formation and should have a real chance at scoring.

That all said, I think this'll be 0-0, 1-0 or a scoring draw.

[LeonDavis23 371]

Lets smash them before half time and then rest for sunderland. B team can then travel to russia, which is our only trip away from london for a couple of weeks i think

[bushman 2,043]

It´s hard to say who is starting today.

We only know Ferda is in.

The rest it could be anyone. Even Rafa could be on defense for all I know.

[Liquidator 5,176]

too cold for football. With the wind chill it feels like -5 out there. Expect another pitiful attendance

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Completely forgot about this one

[FabHazard 655]

i think this will be the line up:

cech

ferreira terry luiz bertrand

mikel lampard

moses mata marin

torres

hazard will come in as a sub

i expect a tough game
