Zola's Flick 57 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Back to the Bridge. That can surely only be a good thing?Despite recent poor performance and defeats I'm confident for this - we're at home, Stoke are safe in terms of survival and Mark Hughes may well do us a favour cos he sure as hell ain't gonna want his ex-rivals Liverpool or Man City lifting the title!I'd like to see the below team:Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Salah, Willian, Hazard; BaThat should be enough to get the job done. 2-0 written all over it.CAREFREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I would start Salah in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've pretty much had the worst week in every possible way, so my mental sanity practically rests on us winning this game. So, please, don't screw this up Chelsea! Mohammed Seif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovieticus 743 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Torres will start as fucking usual. Not even trying to get my hopes up for some else to start up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 does anyone like Stoke?Expecting the usual game against them. They park the bus, Begovic wastes about 6 minutes with his goal kicks, their bellend fans singing shit songs about John Terry and his mum and we win 1-0 Toli, JDY and bababoom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 3, 2014 Didn't Chelsea play Stoke before the 2nd leg against Napoli? I can remember that Fuller stamp on Ivanovic.1-3, 1-0, 4-1 again? Man, just imagine Chelsea winning 1-0 against Stoke, then knocking-off Paris 4-1, then drawing Barcelona and finally winning the trophy against Bayern. Haha, what a fucked-up scenario this would be kellzfresh, Mustafa, Sovieticus and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We need to win this game if we want to keep our title chances alive. Recent matches between us two at the Bridge would suggest this is a game we should win but a bit more sceptical of this game. They are improving under Hughes and even when they have lost it has mainly been by narrow scorelines. In fact they have only lost 1 of their last 9 games and that was a narrow 1-0 loss to City away from home. Quite a run they have been on and we are going to need to be clinical if we want to beat them as they have proved they are a much tougher proposition now.

Mustafa 885 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I know I'm gonna sound like a fool but... Rest Eden for the 2nd leg maybe ? Poor lad can't get a break. Looked pretty knackered in Paris tbh.I'm confident that we can beat Stoke even without Eden. If needs must... then we can put him on in the 2nd half.

Mustafa 885 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Also, I really don't think this is the type of game Salah should start. His main attribute is his pace and he wont be able to utilize that against teams that come to Stamford Bridge and play with 10 men behind the ball. He would be deadly on the counter if we're winning and they're trying to get a goal back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agreed other than that.-----------------------------Would play Salah to with Willian no.10 and Ba upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Everyone not playing PSG should play.Ba, Salah, matic..If Hazard plays, we should really forget winning the second leg. Hazard should be dropped and Dave (if Cole can play). I do 4-4-2.Put ba and torres up front with Salah-Matic-Mikel-Schurrle. I would even consider playing Ake and kalas. You do realize that we are playing STOKE CITY and not some semi pro team. Stoke have already beaten arsenal, chelsea, united and drawn with city this season. We lost a match to them at the brittania this season and we were barely able to beat them in the domestic cup.Also I hope u realize we are in a title race which is more possible that we win rather than the CL.

iseah100 5,612 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I say let Salah start. Ba too. Get Van Ginkel in and Kalas. Need to shake things up.

Thanks god Mourinho does not have the thinking as you or the season would be a disaster. We are chasing the league title and you are going to play MVG who has just returned from a 6 month injury and drop Terry for a player who has not started a game for us this season? Really smart thinking. This is not a friendly game you know. This is a competitive football match which we should be taking seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, he should rest some players for Tuesday.There is one thing resting and there is another thing rotating. MVG and Kalas will definitely not play. That is ludicrous. Not going to happen. I still expect to see Hazard start as well as right now the PL is much more realistic than the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Fully expect City to get three points tomorrow and then it's over to us. One wish towards the game tomorrow is an early goal.....Set the tempo, really get at them from the first whistle and put the game to bed. Then, and only then we can start thinking of taking off Hazard et al. Green Lantern18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
