Closed Chelsea v Atletico Madrid

[DYC. 7,542]

Don't like the line-up at all. I mean, 6 defenders? And again no Schurrle.

Less excited about the match, will have to wait and see.

[FabHazard 655]

it is 433 .....

iva --cahill--terry---azpilicueta

ramires----luiz-----cole

willian-----torres-------hazard

not sure about cole and azpi... the roles can be other way also

[Pizy 18,552]

Really hope Hazards inclusion means that Torres isn't on an island by himself for 90 minutes like the first leg.

Just saw stats - Torres scored 6 in his last 6 starts in Europe, is it true?

I. Am. Scared.

Trust Jose to go all experimental lineup in probably the biggest game of the season.

Oh God...

If that was the case we'd be 1-0 up on aggregate

[LAM09 6,879]

Unusual line up, but in Jose we trust.

This is far too defensive. seriously where is the balance?

Where will the creativity come from, Ramires,luiz and azpi in midfield on paper looks quite ridiculous. And why has Rami been chosen ahead of mikel who was arguably motm in the previous encounter and given the season the Brazilian has had. . . .

Not happy with the selection at all.

Mikel is suspended. Ramires and Luiz are the only CM we have.

I love it and believe this will works...

By that token, Oscar should also be starting as he almost always plays well in Europe.

Park the bus? for all we know it's a 4-3-3 with Azpi Luiz Rami in midfield or a 4-2-3-1 with Azpi-Luiz in pivot. Keep calm and wait for the game

Anyone with those stream links?

TBF he didn't use the all important words "consecutive" or "in a row" so that stats could very well still be accurate. . .

[Strike 7,315]

I sincerely doubt Jose completely reshuffled the formation for a semifinal

My bad - Misread it. Possibly true then..

That looks like the right lineup

[Namika 922]

TSO says he can't play 3 players that are so-so fitness he can cope with one - hazard. Hence no Oscar or Eto'o

[lionsden 4,689]

Btw I don't ever want to see Luiz take any direct free kick tonight. Set piece could be our only method or opportunity to score tonight so it shouldn't be wasted.
