closed Chelsea 0-1 Porto

[DDA 9,570]

Game day! 

Let's go you Blues !

[NikkiCFC 7,578]

Kovacic got small injury, will probably miss this one. 

[King Kante 1,296]

Mendy

Dave AC Rudi

James Jorgi Kante Alonso

Ziyech Werner 

Giroud

Just control the game and do not do anything stupid and we should get through.

Same lineup as against CP except James for CHO for defensive stability and Kante for Kova bc of injury. FA cup not important given our position in UCL and the league; we were dreadful in the first leg and need to score first to seal it off

While it was far from a vintage performance dreadful is a wild exaggeration.

Today is the first day of Ramadan. So if Mendy or Kante make stupid errors and have concentration issues we know its bc they have torched some brain cells by needlessly dedydrating themselves. Darwin would have rejoiced.

They don't fast. They give to charity instead.

Relieved to hear that. Charity is always a good idea. Always remember how Liverpool shat away the CL final 2018 partly due to fasting.

Not entirely sure any Muslim footballer fasts during the season. Football is their profession and they need to take care of their body. Fasting takes a massive toll on that. It's well known in Islam that if you are unable to fast, you must give to charity instead.

I'd be surprised if Tuchel rotates as much as some of the predicted line-ups here. 

[Vesper 27,301]

now if we could only get these so-called xian RW'ers to do the same! (they are supposed to fast at times as well)

Not nervous at all.. I think the boys will nail it without stress.

 

Anyways, if we fuck up against Porto starting from 0-2 then we shouldn’t face Real Madrid.

[ZAPHOD2319 3,872]

I am nervous. This is a different team than what we played last week. A team that has scoring players back. A team that has nothing to lose. I hope we absorb what is thrown at us, but it is not a cake walk.
