UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals 2nd Leg
8th April, Tuesday, 2014
Stamford Bridge
19:45 Kick Off (UK time)

[NishC300 1,865]

Would like to remind that before the 4-1 against Napoli, we beat Stoke City in the previous match on a Saturday as well.

[duo11bluecl 207]

Team MUST BE THIS:

Cech

Iva Terry Cahill Dave

Luiz Lampard

Schurrle Wilian Hazard

Eto'o/Torres

But if Torres starts that is half of our chance gone already, Oscar must also be no where near starting 11

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Jose just outlined the side to face PSG, today. Almsot certain.

Cech

Ivan JT Cahill Azpi

Luiz Lampard

Willian Oscar Hazard

Torres

I reckon we have a great chance at this one.

Onwards and upwards.

Yep I'd go with the same starting line up as today obviously replacing Salah with Hazard and Matic with Luiz

Torres wasn't terrible. He's clearly a man down in the dumps at the moment.

[Milan 17,854]

Willian today showed that he must be the one in the middle. Hazard on one flank which makes the other flank the question mark. Shurrle? Or even Oscar? Willian in the middle is a must, though.

[NishC300 1,865]

Even if Eto'o starts on Tuesday, he'll lack match practice so I'm not sure he'll be particularly sharp. If Eto'o doesn't start then Hazard as a false 9?

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Another magical night at the Bridge. Whatever lineup, I'm confident we can get a huge result and see Jose run out on the pitch once again.

[zyzz 711]

Cech

Ivan JT Cahill Azpi

Luiz Lamps

Schürrle Willian Hazard

Eto'o

I smell another historic night at the bridge. Bring it on

[HD3D 1,038]

Clearly, the game plan today was to have Torres score 1 or 2 goals to gain confidence for PSG. It didn't work out.

I would say play Ba but since he didn't get any minutes, I find that highly unlikely.

When it comes to strikers, we're screwed for this match.

[duo11bluecl 207]

If we ever play a false 9 again...I am gonna lose it

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Eto'o is fit???

[Jambo 231]

I think, regardless of how many feel about Torres he should be the man to start on Tuesday.

The false 9 experiment has been utilised twice, and failed twice. I doubt we'll ever see it again.

I back Torres up top for this game. Even his most fierce detractor has to admit he is simply a different kind of beast in Europe than he is in the Premier League. I reckon he'll do us a job and we'll win 2-0 with goals from Nando and Hazard.

Usual back 5 (why would you change this?), Luiz, Oscar, Schurrle, Willian, Hazard, Torres. I think Oscar would make a good DLP, and if he doesn't work then you can have Lamps on at HT.

[Jambo 231]

You can't really see it on TV, but when you watch Torres In person he has an incredible work rate.

He really needs a goal to going the wheels in motion on that front though.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

An early goal will be crucial.

[Jambo 231]

If Eto wasn't even fit for the bench today I doubt he will be fit to start an extremely crucial Champions League game on Tuesday.
