Closed Atletico Madrid v Chelsea

I personally am happy Torres is starting. Let's hope he has something to prove tonight.

Mikel playing is another story, but needs be.

WHAT? How can any Chelsea fan be happy seeig Torres in a starting lineup?

The line-up makes sense because Jose realizes that without Hazard and a "real" striker, we neither have the quality or experience to beat this rugged battle-hardened teams. If the likes of Schurrle, Oscar, Willian struggle away from home against the Palace's, Sunderland's and Aston Villia's of this world then we might as well play very defensively and go all out in the return leg.

We just lack the quality right now, tbh.

Keep it simple. Keep it 0-0 till 60th minute... then put in schurrle and/or oscar to nick a goal.

Ramires was by far and away the worst player in our team that game, as usual. If Ivanovic hadn't scored, Ramires would've been completely and rightly slated for taking the extra touch and the tame shot. Summed up his game.

Let's hope he delivers either way.

there is literally no one in that team who can score

Erm I think it's much fairer to just say that Mourinho is a very conservative manager.

.... and I love it! So much hate on us, it would be sooo huge to knock them out and go to Lisbon!

Mikel, Ramires, Torres.

Wow

But we have the 2nd best squad in England and one of the best in the world according to some. . . .

Ucl games are tougher to stream. Firstrow.eu or stream2watch are good. Go to rojadirecta too and try to find one there.

And Ramires on the right to stop Koke. I trust in Jose anyway. I'm sure he's done an incredible amount of homework and has decided to be pragmatic knowing fully well we are not yet ready or good enough to go to the Calderon and play for a win. To do that this line-up needs a Matic, Kroos, Hazard and Diego Costa. Schurrle, Oscar, Willian don't just cut it now for various reasons.

Good things about the line-up: 1) Oscar dropped 2) Physical midfield to battle Atletico 3) Azpi playing at RB

We have virtually no creative players on the field but who cares, it's going to be an absolute dog fight.
