Closed Basel v Chelsea

[Wfisheruk 23]

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.

Dont worry benitez is a master tactician he will come up with something

[bushman 2,043]

Yes, Rafa is a master tactician, as seen yesterday.

Perhaps, he should consult Di for the park the bus techniques ?

oh yah, europa league how i miss you

Because he is Rafa!He doesnt often do things that make sense and when he does its a shock and often works!Just not done often enough...

ugh, just want this season to be over now... pleeeease

[DJames 729]

I want to win this trophy!!! We have been very poor this season despite having and showing glimpses of our talent. A win might just perk these players up, get back that winning taste in their mouth and get them hungry for more.

[Rupert 130]

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

Does causing the manager FSW make you feel more British, Yank?

We have to pit out a B team unfortunately, it's just the way it is and the situation we're in. Priority is top 4, we have 2 legs. If we lose the first game it's not a disaster, we have to put out a weakened team, compete and keep it tight, that's all we can do. This team are no mugs but it's what we have to do.

[bababoom 4,478]

Jesus, can you imagine playing in this competition next year? i honestly couldn't care less if we get knocked out, It'll be nice to win but i'd much rather top four.

[Kezza 1,965]

Is it true that the players asked for a bonus if they win the comp?

Like fuck they should get one. They cost the club 20 mil for getting knocked out if the CL.

Anyway, what special tactic will rafa adopt this time? Apart from stupid subs at 75, 81 and 92 min or whatever the usual is.

Lamps needs to play, don't know what is going on with terry and the manager, must be some personality conflict going on somewhere.

Lamps and Luiz in the midfield would be nice.

where in the stadium will the chelsea fans be located?

Tell that to Rafa..
