Cech

Azpi - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Luiz - Lampard

Schurrle - Willian - Hazard (if fit)

Eto'o

What is going on with Cole? I really want to understand. I expected him to play in the previous game for some mins and tonight's game too. But he wasn't even on the bench.Does Cahill,or Luiz know how to play at RB? Cole has hardly played. I want him to play in his natural position. But somehow I feel Jose might surprise us.

To be honest, I think Atlético are favorites. They have a better team, actually they really have a team, while we don't even know how our midfield really look like. They have a terrific defense, while we barely create chances, and when we do, we have to deal with Curtois, who has been a monster this season.

They are in a better moment of the season.

Don't think a 0-0 would be ideal here given it's against a team like Atletico and even though we are at home for the second leg. Must/Need to get a score draw at the very least IMO.

wont be ideal but would be decent. we are shit away. we got dominated by basel and gala, and this is ATM who gave barca a good spanking. the match coulld have and should have ended a minimum of 3-0. i just hope we go defensive and play solely on the counter rather than playing like we did in paris. just play on the counter and hope for the best.

Get what you're saying but if we only setup to be on the defensive and play on the counter, we will lose. Need to show more positive intention than say we did against Galatasaray, PSG and even Basel.

Atletico must be licking their lips, they have a great chance to reach a CL final here

but then again, so did Barcelona in 2012

Come on, it still is 50/50, it always has been. Just because we played shite against Sunderland it doesn't suddenly increase their chances. They're not like that Barca 2012 team, one of the best teams ever in football history, and we aren't like that Chelsea 2012 team either (talent wise).

Well than you will agree that we need another world-class AM cuz Oscar and Willian are just not that.

I think there is a few positions we could be bulking up on in the summer. We need another fullback even if only for backup. We definitely need a striker or two... Or three. We were spoiled for choice for attacking midfielders until the January transfer window. With the departure of Mata and De Brunye, then the drop in form from Oscar, and Hazard being injured we seem to lack creativity. I personally don't think Willian has being playing poorly in the way you say.

He played a good game as the "number 10" against Stoke and then again, a great game against PSG.

we missed mata's ingenious creativity yesterday...but whatever .... lets move on to the next step and I think against AM we have the right kind of back three and who knows we might knick it!!!

we have always done bad in matches before CL apparently!!(wierd stat!)

more importantly we have taken a positive step this season unlike the previous 2 despite not a trophy laden season.....and then again we are not done with CL!!

we showed positive intentions against psg and gala. we dominated theball early on but conceded the field in the 2nd half.

i want the teams to go 0-0 at HT. then the onus will be on ATM to change things around and go for the win.

i wont mind a slow and subdued start to the match. just dnt nconcede in the first half. for me, that will be the most critical part.

I don't understand why he wasn't given any minutes yesterday, but oh well. I hope Mourinho doesn't play Luiz at RB because we really need him in midfield.

Luiz might play LB like Ivanovic plays CF. Doing that will be like sacrificing all his attributes. We need him in the center of our midfield.

He hasn't been playing poorly. I critize Willian for a few things. He is not creative enough and not a good playmaker. His vision is limited and his passes are at the wrong timing. For me he doesn't use his abilities enough. You just watch him, he gets the ball, stands and does nothing. I mean, in a game like this he should try to create much more chances but he is just not doing that. 30+ mill for what??
