Closed Atletico Madrid v Chelsea

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Chelsea in semis and look at our bench...Scharzer-Ake-Kalas-Ba-Mvg mmm sorry Chelsea board not good enough,tho hope

Ake,Kalas,Mvg become legends but bad management start of season again with squad imho

Oscar, Schurrle and Ba are the only ones likely to come on anyway, so don't sweat it. Remember we are missing players like Eto'o, Hazard, Matic and Salah, so the bench could have easily been stronger.

If it is the no 1 of the first link, it's silent.

The second link asks user to disable adbloc. What will happen if I do ? Before ad bloc I was being cut every two minutes.

Torres will not score.

Good line up IMO. Happy Cole is playing and that Luiz is in midfield - if we need to go for a more offensive look just take off one of Ramires or Mikel, simple.

Why some people think this is an insult is the weird thing.

The problem is sometimes being conservative means your are afraid of winning. I already said that, but it seems Mourinho first instinct is not to losing other than wanting to win. I still have in my mind that 05 semi-final, when the team failed to score a single against a team that was in 5th in the PL, around 40 points behind.

Being conservative in a game like that was really unecessary.

hazard is not in the bench .??wth is he so much injured??

If ramires finishes the game without being sent off, that would be considered a good game by his standard this season.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Don't forget we are missing the likes of Hazard, Eto'o, Matic, Ivanovic and Salah and without these players we are easily the worst side left in the competition. Easily. The likes of Oscar, Schurrle and Willian are ridiculously inconsistent players and it won't be clever to play our normal system in this game. We will get trounced if we did

[DYC. 7,542]

Schurrle won't play well if he starts from the beginning. He rarely does in games against aggressive teams away from home. Ramires might be poor offensively but at least he offers much more than Schurrle defensively.

I find Schurrle far more useful from the start than as a substitute. And Ramires does absolutely nothing for me on the wing, simply awful. The defence must be very vulnerable if you need Ramires on the wing with David Luiz, Lampard and Mikel in midfield. Not to mention Willian's defensive contribution.

But I guess we'll have to see how things pan out.

Ramires will score

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

They are going to be so shocked to see how much Torres has declined since he left there

Last chance for a Torres to impress?

[iceboy 992]

Luiz for the winner

This bitter wank Roy Keane does my head in. Hate ITV's coverage

[edetarod 2,155]

Torres will not score.

Sherlock, is that you?

[Chelsea Buzz 487]

Let's put the Sunderland debacle behind us and get after it today. A win today goes a long way towards a possible CL title! Intriguing lineup. May just be the recipe we need.

Come on you Chelsea! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

[Styles 9,790]

Torres will not score.

That's a big call right there.
