MATCH OF THE SEASON.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Oh lord..  Dont play false 9 it doesn't work! Please don't play anywhere near how we did against City cause that was shite.... 

Huge huge huge. Wont be annoyed it we go out... If we make the effort. 

[Milan 17,835]

We have to score so hopefully that will make us play a bit. Unless someone will consider a close 0-1 defeat to mighty Barcelona as a successful night.

It worked in the first leg until the defensive mistake, largely thanks to Willian. I don't see how Conte won't at least start with Hazard at the false 9. Let's just hope he'll make a change earlier than the 80th minute if things aren't working.

Unfortunately Conte will probably start with false 9 again

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Fully expect False 9 for 60mins, and then for Conte to try and go for it in the final 30mins.

Barcelona caca.

Barcacalona.

Miracle is the word for this match.

 

[Blue Armour 4,158]

Well we have to do everything to score in this match...wonder whether his game plan will be to absorb all their attacks for 80 mins and try to hit them with a sucker punch afterwards. In that case, we know the formation he's going to go with.

It doesn't work with city. But with barcelona 2 posts,a goal and they shoot 1 time on chris' mistake. I think it worked even more than expectations.

Fixed.

Belief. This one is ours. 

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

How badly we get beaten here decides how the rest of the season goes.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Least we know we have to score. The thought of playing for a 0-0 draw.. Which often ends badly. 

[Jase 43,479]

Antonio Conte to consult Chelsea players on tactics for Barcelona return

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Hopefully no one will have a john Terry moment.. Let's not make it harder for ourselves.  We can be poor with 11 never mind 10..
