Ze Mario 638 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 @chelseafc: Chelsea subs v Atletico: Schwarzer, Kalas, Ake, Van Ginkel, Oscar, Schurrle, Ba. #CFCwow MvGdidnt see that coming Redondo and Glenn01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Who starts Ba or Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Keep it simple. Keep it 0-0 till 60th minute... then put in schurrle and/or oscar to nick a goal.Atletico notoriously tire in the last 15-20 mins of games because of their high pressing style. We need to at least try and retain possession. I don't want to see what I saw in the second half of 1st leg vs Galatasaray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why are we in black kits?I think it's cause they've got blue shorts, and we cant have the same colour on anything. darrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,916 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hopefully this at least means Hazard will be fit for Liverpool and the 2nd leg and just isn't being risked tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 there is literally no one in that team who can scorePlaying for a draw has been proven to be a very risky strategy. what happens if AM draw the first score anyway. That automatically destroys our tactic and we are left stranded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakozium257 350 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm okay cool with Mikel, but f*cking Ramires at f*cking RW in the f*cking semi-final against a humble strong team in a f*cking pumped up foreign stadium?? Schürrle would do so much better than this useless donkey. If we win/draw and he does relatively well I'm willing to take my words back, but right now it feels bleak.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Of course this line-up has the potential to backfire spectacurlarly if Atletico get an early goal. But Mourinho is playing for the result again and not the "evolution" of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have already braced myself for yet another poor quality offensive display from the team. a 0-0 draw or 1-0 defeat wouldn't be the worst result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ramires , Torres why not Ba. Park the bus and long balls to Ba sounds more like a winning tactics than gambling on the occasional good Torres game out of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 so daily mail were making stuff up again about ashley cole. retards work thereOr Mourinho could have changed the line-up after the leaks to make them doubt their sources. Very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It is against his beloved Atletico. He has something to prove!LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 this will be a success if the team doesn't concede in the first 50-60 mins. otherwise i can see atletico getting a few today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Erm I think it's much fairer to just say that Mourinho is a very conservative manager.He does what is best for the team and he only cares about results. I doubt if we are going to see this line-up against Liverpool and in the 2nd leg. He sets up his team to the demands of the game. I think sometimes he is a little bit guilty of over-thinking line-ups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It will be one of those weird games where Ramires scores just after the break and Mikel bundles in a goal from a set piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
