Ze Mario 638 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I prefer to play oscar in this match. His def trait is definitely useful for this kind of match Glenn01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is there a champions league semifinal leg tonight? Where's the enthusiasm people?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The one thing we have going for us is once again experience at this level. If we get through the first 15-20mins unscathed I fancy us to get a good result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I always felt against PSG at 3-1 it wasn't over, and had a great feeling we would over turn that result, we did but the goal away from home was huge IMO. We must fetch a goal back from Madrid tonight, even if it is the same score as the Paris 1st leg. 3-0 is a disaster, 3-1 is very much doable. I can see us scoring, but I can also see them scoring.

Weird i know I think it has a lot to do with PSG being the favourite and wanting to prove their worth. At least that's what it was for me... This tie has a different feel. Madrid are perhaps the slight psychological underdogs because they aren't tested at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonDavis23 371 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Agree. 2-1 loss is better than a 0-0 draw, imo. For us? How is a loss better than a draw!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 For us? How is a loss better than a draw!?I agree. I understand an away goal is a good thing, but not at the expense of losing. 1-1 would be an ideal result IMO. LeonDavis23 and haranr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfrank8 23 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd take a 0-0 but a 0-1 should be the aim. Possibly more. And we should definitely not concede. Can't see where the goals are gonna come from though especially given Atletico's organized defence. Torres should be kept on the bench, if things turn really bad then bring on Torres, otherwise no need. Lampard and Luiz in holding midfield, not sure about Ramires given his performance at the weekend. Cole at LB, Azpi at RB, Willian,Oscar and Schurrle behind Ba. Come on Chelsea!

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Will be happy with a win or a draw. Will be OK with a one goal deficit. Anything more will be very difficult to overcome. The Skipper and Rmpr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonDavis23 371 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Torres should be kept on the bench, if things turn really bad then bring on Torres, otherwise no need. Torres has never looked liked scoring against loserpoo. He tries too hard and ends up failing, BADly. Can't see it being anything different against his childhood club (maybe worse?).

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 For us? How is a loss better than a draw!?Because of the dynamics of the return leg. With 0-0, they'll most likely start the game very defensively and give us no space and then maybe start looking for a goal after 60-70 mins. But if it's 2-1, they'll come to the game wanting to get an away goal to match ours which would make for a more open match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
