Closed Schalke v Chelsea

[Jase 43,479]

The referee is going to be Viktor Kassai. So proud of him

He also officiated our game the last time we played in Germany...and lost 2-1 to Leverkusen..

[Special Juan 27,439]

Toughest game we will face in this group IMO.

I remember that game. It's so strange... Drogba, Malouda, Bosingwa, Meireles, Kalou, Alex were in our squad, we have a whole new team now. Schürrle was playing against us

it feels ages ago since last time we were in a CL knock out round

i really want to experience that again, those are the best games of the season for me

It was very disappointing going out at the group stage but I actually enjoyed the Europa games

The game at the bridge, the one that saw ballack's return, was actually Andre's CL debut. Kind of a weird coincidence that he made his CL debut where he'd end up playing. Destiny!

He never has been a weakness.

I advise you to watch the game vs Shakhtar last season at home.

What's the odds off another controversial Felipe Santana winner in the last second?

[Henrique 9,133]

Is Cole fit for this one? Last time I remember Bertrand playing for Chelsea in UCL it was an horror show.

Cech; Ivan, Terry, Luiz, Cole/Betrand; Ramires, Mikel; Oscar, Hazard, Willian (Schurlle); Etoo.

We will win this one: 2x0.

cech

Azpi Luiz Terry Bertand

Mikel Ramires

Schurrle Oscar Hazard

Torres

[mediator 2,026]

Away game, have to kill them on counter attacks.

I would like to see this :

---------- Cech --------

Azpi - Luiz - Terry - Bert

----- Rambo - Oscar -----

Willian - Hazard - Schurrle

---------- Torres -------------

[Tomo 21,733]

We should play Blackman.

Cech needs a rest and Schwarzer needs a loan.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Cole

Ramires Lamps

Schurrle Oscar Hazard

Eto'o

If Cole is fit, he's in the team. Bertrand had a nice game but the kid is 24, made 200-odd appearances and is still a fairly flavourless, anonymous player.

Cahill probably deserves a chance after Luiz's abject performance. I actually think Luiz would probably step up and have a big game but if you don't drop players after such apathetic performances then when do you drop them?

First-choice midfield again and then Schurrle, Hazard and Oscar are the form AMs.

[Blue Gino 377]

So many Shalke players crocked for this one, hopefully Jose field a strong team because you never want to face a wounded dog who's cornered.

That's dynamite. Never gonna happen though, as much as I'd want it to.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Who exactly is injured for them?
