Closed Chelsea v Schalke

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Cahill: "We're looking to go out and get a positive result, we'll be one step closer to qualifying so it's a big game." #CFC

Cahill: "We're all in it together, the next best thing after a defeat is to go out and put things right, we need to move on." #CFC

Cahill: "We were very organised out there, played well and limited them to long distance efforts. The onus will be on us at home." #CFC

Looks like Cahill may start tomorrow then though Ba didn't after doing the presser for the Basel game.

Mourinho: "I have had lots of time to reflect on Saturday's game, watch it again, but I don't change my opinion." #CFC

Jose says he wants his teams to be proactive and not reactive during games, and that is why Saturday's loss was disappointing. #CFC

Mourinho: "I don't want to see the changes I make tomorrow as though somebody is paying for the Newcastle loss. That's not the case." #CFC

Mourinho confirms that Fernando Torres is out of the game, while Bertrand picked up a knock in training today. #CFC

Jose says Torres has a muscular injury and he is waiting on the results of a scan before knowing the full extent of the injury. #CFC

Jose says both Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have a great opportunity to impress while Torres is out injured. #CFC

[1chelsea 864]

MUST WIN

Troll get out now

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Want:

A 2-0 win with goals from Eto'o and Willian.

A start for Mikel with Rambo

A solid defensive performance with Cahill/Terry

And Mourinho with a crowd surfing celebration. (This is a deal breaker).

Come on boys!!

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Would love to see Eto'o bag in a few.

Fernando Torres doubt for Chelsea's Schalke tie with thigh injury

Chelsea's Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard face axe against Schalke.. and Fernando Torres is injured

if only Mirror was reliable and I could actually believe José is dropping both Cole and Lampard...

I have no doubts though Azpilicueta is starting in the LB

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I've got a good feeling about this one. Seems like Willian will start.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Can see this end up a very low scoring game, gonna be carbon copy of that first game but we won't be as naive.

Beckenbauer just said on german tv that he watched our game vs. city at stamford bridge and that it was an utterly boring match... what a senile twat. Can't stand this bundesliga wankfest anymore.. please batter them tomorrow

The Bayern chiefs, they have always been so arrogant... I remember in 2008, Rumenigge and Hoeness keep saying Premier League is cheating, Chelsea is breaking football... they are just jealous. Now look where Hoeness is, he is going to prison for tax fraud... now who is the cheat?

Who is cheating in 1962 when the big German construction tycoon buys Bayern and makes them the biggest team in Germany? Before he buy, Bayern are mid table in second division in Germany. At least before Roman buy Chelsea, we have been a good team in Premier League for 7-8 years..
