Closed Chelsea v Atletico Madrid

[didierforever 7,349]

the tie was always going to be very simple.i always thought whoever scored first goes thru. wont be suprised if thats the case.

[silviupastean 135]

None.

But that maniac Nicola Rizzoli is the ref so you never know. He throws yellow/red cards for fun.

i think willian and luiz is.

[silviupastean 135]

without willian we could cope in the final i think, but luiz absolutely has to NOT get one. (if we reach the final that is)

I was just on The Shed End msgboard & there are reports that Hazard trained with the squad for the first time today

[thekid9 418]

Cannot underestimate them! Will be VERY VERY tough!

we need everyone at the top of their game! I believe Torres will start, dunno if Eto'o will be fit! and Torres has a good game in spain, BA is better as an impact striker if we need him! Fingers crossed it won't come to that

He trained on Friday, he'll play IMO.

[Jase 43,479]

There will be a minute's silence ahead of this week's UEFA Champions League semi-finals in order to pay tribute to Tito Vilanova and Vujadin Boskov

[Special Juan 27,429]

Bring Hazard!!

[robdog 2,084]

He trained on Friday, he'll play IMO.

IMHO we need Hazard - he is our most creative player....sorry Willian fans

[Namika 922]

I have absolutely no confidence in that referee. He just loves to book everyone, our players have to be very careful.

John Terry was back in training and is winning his battle to be fit for Chelsea's semi-final clash against Atletico Madrid. #CFC (Sun)

TBF the Sun has very little credibility. Their next article might be that JT has been strengthen by Aliens so he can play on Weds

So Willian and Luiz will miss the final with a yellow card? That fucking sucks..

[thekid9 418]

Both of them would be a massive loss!

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

So Willian and Luiz will miss the final with a yellow card? That fucking sucks..

Luiz would be a loss but Lampard -- Mikel isn't a bad midfield combination

The bigger loss would be Willian...if he misses the final, we would have NO attacking midfielders on the bench

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

First time ever that a Chelsea game is on my birthday. All I ask for is winning this match.

IMHO we need Hazard - he is our most creative player....sorry Willian fans

Why apologize to "Willian Fans"? Hazard in the left, Willian right and oscar at the #10 position.

atletico definitely will park the bus to frustrate us, we should park bsu too and practice more on penalty kick

Atletico most definitely will not. It is to their advantage to attack from the get go. They have a reasonable result of 0-0 at home, and now even with a goal from us, they only need one to qualify. A goal to them is more important and valuable than one to us.

Plus they have not been that team this season as much as others will like you to believe. They often press quite high and a lot of their counters come from winning the ball in the midfield, having the defence scrambling backwards and catching a team out without numbers back.
