MATA MUST TO STEP UP! MOSES AND OSCAR TOO.

any news on Mikel?

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Bad feelling now.

We're not a one man team. We can perform with out him.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Massive blow, massive.

[TrippingStep 336]

I hope Moses is well-fit.

As I read that he had also prolems with knocks and small injuries the last weeks.

With or Without Hazard, it will be a difficult match anyway, I just hope that Benitez picks the right team not like against Corinthians.

Our midfield is what scares me the most.

I hope that whoever plays there that they don't go too high too soon as Benfica would be quick to counter us.

[TrippingStep 336]

I hope we don't concede early in the match

any news on Mikel?

If you switch to ChelseaTV he's in full training right now.

Also another interesting note is that Luiz seems to be playing at CB in the training game that's going on now. Good news on both fronts IMO.

We won the Champions League with Kalou, Bosingwa and Bertrand in the starting line-up, against Bayern in their own backyard. I am pretty sure we're capable of beating Benfica without Hazard. We can do this.

I prefer Ramires on the wing rather than Moses in this match. Ramires' counter-attack ability is lethal.

Cech

Azpi, Cahill, Ivanovic, Cole

Lampard, Luiz

Ramires, Mata, Oscar

Torres

But we had Drogba...

True, still our job probably will it be to take the game to Benfica. When we achieve to dominate them we can benefit from their blown confidence. We also countered Basel and Kazan, but we scored only one goal on the counter, due to our wastefulness.

We can do this gents, with or without Hazard. KTBFFH

This might be encouraging -

Three English teams – Chelsea FC, Newcastle United FC and Tottenham – have reached the last eight. In each of the previous two seasons in which a country has taken three clubs to the quarter-finals, one of that number has gone on to lift the trophy – FC Porto (Portugal) in 2010/11 and Club Atlético de Madrid (Spain) in 2011/12 – beating opponents from their own country in the final.

I wanted to go to amsterdam with some friends. No Ticket but just to be there, feel the atmosphere and support the team! Anyone here knows if there is a place for public viewing or something like that??

sometimes when your team misses the key player other members show their quality. chin up, guys.

Benfica have lost their last six European finals. They last won a European trophy 51 years ago ... in Amsterdam.

with no Hazard,

i can see our attacking play consisting of mostly hoofing long balls to ladyboy,

it's gonna be a long night, can't see us winning tbh.
