It's Liverpool Again

[DavidEU 2,023]

Would have prefered Arsenal but we can do it against Liverpool, and believe its impossible to call.

I'd guess that we'd be slight favourites being at home second. We dominated the 1st leg last season and could have been 3 or 4-0 up going into the second leg.

I don't think the Anfield atmosphere should affect us. We've been there twice in three years, and have experience in abundance.

I'm confident we can score at Anfield, and get at least a draw, although a 2-1 defeat wouldnt be a disaster.

I symathise with gooners this morning -they were well and truly shafted with dodgy decisions, and we know ourselves what its like up there on their 'Special European Nights'.

The only way that we can take advantage of the home game being the second leg is if the fans make the atmosphere like Anfield otherwise it wouldnt really make a difference. Bit obvious but it still never seems to happen, maybe we should try holding the scarves up?or perhaps the flags will do lol. to be honest im crapping myself always do against Liverpool, Benitez always seems to know what to do in the Champions league, oh and yet again they can afford to rest players as they have nothing to play for in the prem. Bit of a bummer that the Man you game is in between the two legs, going to have to put out our best team for all 3 games. COME ON Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My point is that Liverpool hasn't scored vs Chelsea on Stamford Bridge for almost 4 years,i dont include the games played on Wembley,Cardiff etc.Last time we were defeated and conceded against them is the season 2003/04 a 0-1 defeat.So i am more than confident if we get a good result on Anfield that we will go to the finals.

Avoiding defeat away is imperative this time. A score draw would suit us perfectly.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

got a feelin, we'll do the fuckers

[misschief 24]

I dunno, its almost a traditional part of our season now to lose to the dippers in CL.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

hmm thats true.. but we need revenge tbh..for 'That Goal'

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Well we played against the Turks and their fans are nothing compared to that.Their fans are overhyped anyway,got a goal down and silence.

Third time lucky,second leg at home.Be so werid if Grant does what Jose never did...wont like the guy but be crazy

We gotta knock them out,if they win it gah be hearing about it forever esp after they nearly didnt make the stages and plus doubt UEFA would be looking forward to a Man you Liverpool final.Gana be blood shed lol and if anything happens course if wont be scums fault

I'm over the moon that we have this chance again and this time is our time. Avoiding defeat at anfield is huge. The last player to score at SB for them was Bruno 'The Next Zidane Cheyrou like 4 years back and that was about 10 games ago in Chelsea liverpool games at SB. Would love us to nick a goal away and even 1-1 would be sweet. Coming home from the game yesterday i was so happy it was untrue, i wanted Liverpool, if i could pick any team in europe to knock out of the UCL its them. 2nd leg at SB is massive.

3rd time lucky hopefully, if they beat us again, i'll never live it down. I wouldnt be able to comprehend 3 semi KO's by liverpool in 4 years and 4 Semi KO's in 5 years. That aint worth thinking about. It just cannot fucking happen.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

It better not happen cause all we'll hear is how great they are and if they win the bloody thing considering the horror show they had during the knock out stages..gah!!

Grant is your chance to make your mark!!Dont play Heim for fuck sake and gah get it right!!!

Eeeeep bring it on!!

[Ollie 4,400]

Well our last 3 Performances at Anfield have been complete shit. We were by far second best in the league game at Anfield this season but we got away with 1-1. We never attack there and i have no idea why. Whatever happens, this tie is gonna be fucking close. The home advantage swings it in our favour i believe but that all depends what happens in the first leg.

Well, I am probably going to get stick, but CFC v. liverpool is the last thing I wanted to see happen in the CL. Not only do we seem to not be able to beat them in the CL, the games are almost always a complete bore and terrible football. The only CL game that was entertaining, for me, was the goal-that-never-happened game. I am resigned to seeing the scousers in Moscow in May. For some reason we never play our best football against liverpool, especially in the CL.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

i can see why you feel that way, but please, for the sake of the team, Have faith in the Players. cos tbh Avrams fucked up.. so he aint got my backin.. but the players have.. and i feel the players want this just as much as the fans, every player dreams of winnin the CL...Ask any of em..there's not one player that doesn't wanna win it.. we need revenge for that goal that shouldnt of stood.. So lets Get behind the lads and lets do the scouse pricks like theyve never been done before.

If/when we win I would love to be at the England training camp when JT and Lamps start waving their PL & CL medals in front of ickle stevie G.

Just like he and that other arab sounding vermin caraghar did the first time round.
