closed Al Hilal 0-1 Chelsea

[Magic Lamps 11,450]

Expect an absolutely unwatchable game, worse than argyle. they are the poorest side we will face all year, maybe on par with chesterfield. They will just try to play thug ball which in this case means their tiny players will try to stab ours with their pointy bones.

Just get an early lead and our important players off the pitch.

Absolute redundancy to even play this match. Could just show up for the final. There is absolute no value in playing these annoying minnows. Palmeiras will be a whole different animal. that one i think based on current form is a 50-50.

Best lineup at the moment. We take this seriously.

[Pizy 17,860]

At least CHO isn’t starting. Hopefully we can put this to bed in the first half and then coast.

You would expect Al Hilal to come out of the blocks quickly to try to catch us cold so we need to be ready for that. Would be annoying to see a repeat of Plymouth where they get a goal first and we batter them without being able to score for an hour.

Lukaku 100% needs to score at least 1 here to justify him starting all these games lately.

It was actually quite depressing watching the Porto final back knowing Rom's presence will likely see to any chance of a repeat.

Lukaku is basically undroppable at this point due to his price tag.

[Fulham Broadway 16,393]

Pereira last season scored twice and assisted twice against us

[Magic Lamps 11,450]

Don't like the lineup, not enough pace but we probably wont need it as they will park the bus anyway.

If our strikers dont score here it will be embarrassing. their defenders are tiny donkeys who are both, poor on the ball and at defending.

[Vesper 27,320]

their only swap from the first game is Mohammed Al-Burayk in at RB over Saud Abdulhamid (which is weird as their LB (Yasser Al-Shahrani) was shit, Abdulhamid had a decent game)

[ZAPHOD2319 3,873]

I hope we get two early goals. I may not be able to watch much of the second half.

[Vesper 27,320]

thought for sure  André Carrillo would start (he scored as a sub) over Salem Al-Dawsari at RW

[DDA 9,570]

It's live on E4 if you have sky or free view by the way. 

[Vesper 27,320]

their back 4 and GKer are shit

we need to just pound them into the dirt via pressure

[ZAPHOD2319 3,873]

I love the yellow!

if he cannot score against THIS back 4 he is truly wuthless, as in send him to the reserves useless

[ZAPHOD2319 3,873]

[Vesper 27,320]
