Closed Rubin Kazan v Chelsea

[Kinol 337]

Rafa spoke about a possible system change so maybe its a 4-3-3?

I really hope thats the case. That would make it so much more intresting.

[Billy. 2,742]

Chelsea's XI against Rubin: Cech, Azpilicueta, Terry, David Luiz, Ferreira, Ake, Lampard, Ramires, Benayoun, Moses, Torres - #CFC

[nadavTKL 1,787]

ohhh what a good line up

Im afraid we'll get eliminated with that line up actually, but its the right call from Benitez.

[Ankit 3,176]

Most probably is a 4-3-3 formation. Been a long time since i saw chelsea play in that formation. Excited. Good one, tubby!!

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Ake and Ferreira with no Mata, Hazard or Oscar? Early goal for Kazan and this'll be edgy.

Where the hell is Bertrand?

ill didn't travel

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Aké is playing, what a good news ! I hope he'll prove in a difficult stadium that he has what is needed to play more in the first team.

I think we'll do well, we play with confidence, we play with a winning mentality, trying to go forward as quick as possible in counter-attacks, even if the team is risky, we'll manage to win, Torres must prove that his form isnt just temporary, and he must try to play cleanly as possible, in other words, Come On Chelsea !

[Strike 7,217]

Defend and counter seems to be the plan and it's sensible with the team picked. No real attacking outlet to take the game to the Russians

hopefully a disciplined defensive performance leads to a 0-0

[Hutcho 8,443]

Lets try a 4-4-2 for once and blood a few of the youngsters and give some from the retirement village a go

Blackman

Paulo Christensen Ake Malouda

Yossi Baker Musonda Jr Marin

Feruz Moses

Bench: The reserve team

leave the remainder of the team in london to rest and prepare for competitive games that actually mean something

I want us to rest players but only the big big ones, i.e. hazard and mata, not play the toddlers. That team is asking for major trouble.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yep, he has rested Hazard mata and oscar, which is great. That team should be able to get us qualified. Lampard double...

[Milan 17,854]

Good line-up in terms of resting players and rotation. We just need to make sure we don't concede an early goal.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Just watched Benitez's post-match interview with Chelsea TV on Sunday. Said he might change the system to put fresher players out there and be stronger. Would be interesting to see if he does that.

RAFA CHANGE THE SYSTEM, NEVER EVER EVER HAPPENING HAHA. SORRY FOR CAPS JUST CAPS EVERYWHERE

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, FUCKING HIDE PEOPLE. SHIT GONNA GET FUCKING SERIOUS .

METEOR SHOWER MIGHT BE NEXT

[bushman 2,043]

If needed, the key players will hop on to send the Tatars fishing.

[bababoom 4,478]

Does anyone know the confirmed formation?

[Milan 17,854]

Chelsea fans

Reminds me of the Kazan fans at the Bridge but this one is more obvious given the bigger stadium

[nachikethas 1,149]

stream please

[Backstreet09 499]

When is this going to start? If it's now I'd miss the whole first half due to the fucking loadshedding #somanyfeelz.

[didierforever 7,349]

good line up frpm fsw and now upto the players on the field to make it work.
