Oh god another game.....

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Right, need to move away from that horrible Liverpool game as quick as possible. I've been saying that we take this competition seriously but we just can't take any more risks in the league. We need 13 points of the remaining 15. So we should really start the 'B' team for this one.

God after this crazy hard season do these players deserve another chance to win a trophy. Hopefully the injustice of today spurs the lads on to go n fuck Basel over. Another very tough game though, every game now is tough.

I really hope that Chelsea will reach the final. At least one title we should win.

so we play a false #9 here? I mean if you believe what FSW has said, he has to honor his rotational policy

whore.

my ideal team would be this. park the bloody bus, or just do something and keep the tie alive for the home leg. no point in playing the MAZACAR in the home and away leg because simply cant see us winning the tie in 1 leg (like kazan). get an away goal.

1-2 to BASEL.

Well,

After a season like this, we see our team lose against Liverpool with a shaky defense and Rafa doing a couple of incomprehensibles :-) I don't think we lost the game because of fatigue. We should have won this Liverpool game.

The core factor was coming out of the locker room the second half like zombies and the unjustifiable replacements.

The width is one thing, but it appears to me the managerial decisions are far more crucial.

So play those goddamn competitions.

Really put out a B team? These guys dispatched Spurs first team quite well and you want us to put out a B team? Yeah we should rotate but we need a strong team still. The likes of Stocker, Streller and Salah will cause us problems for sure.

Just to add to your point, they knocked of manure last season in the UCL. Basil are for real & CFC will have a tuff task of seeing these guy off.

But can we really risk dropping more points in the league, even if it is a 1% risk?

[Wfisheruk 22]

Hopefully Cahill & cole will strengthen the squad numbers for this game but we can't risk our main players for this and rest afew for the weekend game

[bushman 2,043]

Since clueless Rafa played Torres vs Liverbites, BA is not allowed to play, I wonder whom he will play this time ?

I hope, Chelsea are going to Basel to defend only. A draw, even a loss by one goal, should be fine for the return leg in London.

Fuck this EL. Just make sure, the key players are rested for PL.

Unless he is playing Moses up front on Thursday, I have no idea why RB played Nando yesterday. Makes no sense whatsoever with the fixture pile-up.
