CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Lose against Tottenham and beat West Ham or beat Tottenham and lose against West Ham? Winning actual silverware will be a huge mental boost for us even in the league. So definitely beat Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 What a perfect stage for Hazard to tear Spurs a new arsehole.iirc this will be the first big final Eden is going to feature besides the Super Cup yeh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well he played against Atletico in 2012 where we got raped and 2012 Community Shield. Not exactly a cup final... He also played in that same fixture against Bayern and scored. Those are friendlies to kick off both the domestic and European competition. This is a real cup final, big stage, everyone watching.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Listen guys I'm a little confused, at what point have the spurs become an offensive dynamo capable of scoring at will? Some of the stuff I'm reading here is absolutely dreadful "if we start ivanovic we're screwed?" LolWe have the better squad even without Matic, the game on New Years was an anomaly, a shit penalty and a deflected goal. Yes they played well but not well enough for us all to be shaking in our boots over the tie. This is a game where the best players shine the brightest, I can't see a scenario where the likes of costa, hazard, ivanovic, willian and perhaps cesc aren't completely turned on for this one. If that is the case does anyone really think the spurs, playing on two days rest can live with us? On a pitch the size of wembley their press will be non-existent especially after a Thursday night game away. It was a tough loss we suffered but we were a tired squad. I know we haven't been at our best since that game but its a cup finals people! We are Chelsea we live for these moments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Really? I don't remember. I remember JT missed it....and Torres played well! Yeah he injured himself against Aston Villa after he ran from the halfway line all the way to the byline. After the ball went out for a corner he grabbed his hamstring and game over for him.Yeah JT missed the game because of an ankle injury if i remember correctly. Well Torres his performances in the Europa league were quite good in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 On a pitch the size of wembley their press will be non-existent That's a really good point. If Spurs do try to press us then given the size of the pitch and the fact they're playing today they will likely leave huge spaces for us to exploit. Our counter-attacking has been poor this season but it's a final so hopefully we'll up our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Didn't he play in the EL final? Nah like many have already mentioned he was out injured. So I'm right, the first big proper final for Hazard in Chelsea shirt. Come on Eden! Rip them apart, it's time for you to step up and shine!

Barbara 15,149 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This match is always going to be down to which Chelsea shows up, regardless of Spurs. if we play well we win and if we don't play our best, they win regardless of which kind of team or display they have (and they've been very shaky lately). They're basically a non-factor because we lose or draw most time because of our stupid mistakes, not opposition's brilliance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Surely we have to play Ake if Mikel is still injured otherwise whats the point in having him in our squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Kills 164 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Surely we have to play Ake if Mikel is still injured otherwise whats the point in having him in our squad?Is this Jose's "play Rafael instead of Pogba" moment? Because that's what everyone seems to be thinking - and wanting it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
