Leif 6,006 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm not fond of the guy but I think Marin would be good for this game but only if Hazard and Mata start also. He seems to only play decent when he's surrounded by good players. I'd personally put him on the right and tell him: "LISTEN UP MOTHERFUCKER. DON'T CUT IN AND SHOOT. THAT IS HAZARD'S JOB ON THE OTHER SIDE. JUST CROSS TO TORRES OR MATA AND LET THEM DO THE REST U LIL BITCH." and have the rest of the players performing their usual duties. I say this because I believe we'll have to play a counter-attacking game tonight and that's what Marin was originally good at when he was at Werder Bremen. He never performed too well when his team had the majority of possession. He likes a quick counter where he can just get the ball into the striker or take a shot himself.I understand we have a big game vs. Swansea City coming up but Hazard and Mata are no slouches; they can handle a congested fixture list. I actually think Hazard plays better the closer games are together. It seems he likes to get the ball rolling with one game and then transmit that to the next game where he turns it up a notch.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Some facts about tonight's match:#CFC's only previous meeting with a Swiss side was against St Gallen in 2000/1. We lost 2-1 on aggregateTonight will be #CFC's 11th European semi-final while Basel play for the first time in the semis in Europe.Basel have only managed to win 2 of 15 games against English sides ( vs Boro in 05-06 and vs United last season)Chelsea lost their last two away matches in Europe. They have never lost three in a rowBasel have scored six goals from corners in EL this season. More than any other side.This match will be Chelsea's 62nd match in all competitions this season!Basel are unbeaten in their last 8 home games in Europe winning 6 of them.

xPetrCechx 13,578 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 oh how i wish Mata, Hazard and Oscar would for once work their lazy ass off to track back and defend all game long like Ribery, Robben and Muller did last night*awaits onslaught* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,149 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Underestimating Basel is exactly what Spurs did in both legs, and look what happened to them. The arrogance of some Chelsea fans astounds me. Show some fucking respect. Also the mistake that Bayern made this season and what United done last season. They are a very good team. The fact that they beat Bayern who are arguably the best team in the world right now, shows that they are a very dangerous team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 HUGE mistake to play Luiz in midfield today. Basel press exceptionally well. And with Lampard starting, we've already lost the midfield battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keikoismad 162 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well, on the bright side, I expect Eden to play the central position. That could be fun to watch, he'l have the chance what he's really capable of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
