EskWeston 696 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It's a shame the whole Jose thing has overshadowed this game. We should have moved on by now and Ancelotti is at the beginning of what i see as a rebuilding project because our squad from the start of this season needs to be looked at and overhauled. It is stupid to compare what Jose did at Chelsea with what Carlo is doing at Chelsea because firstly Carlo hasn't even had a season yet, he may win the treble for all we know and secondly the circumstances are completly different.

MaloudaJamie Redknapp says: Chelsea 3-1 InterCan't see a single reason why we should drop the in form Alex and play Carvalho, none at all. I will be very dissapointed if Carvalho is playing ahead of Alex. Also i would personally play J.Cole rather than Ballack, i just think Ballack offers us very little now and i would rather someone else who could do something a little different play.

DYC. 7,542 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Mourinho: '' I keep winning important things, they keep winning.. something. ''That man still cracks me up.The only way to shut this man up is by winning a the PL and finish him off by winning the CL.I do feel quite confident about this game. The boys should go out there and play there football. We should have won in Milan but scoring that away goal was vital. With the fans supporting the team and our impressive home record we should be able to send them off. I just hope Ancelotti is man enough to bench Anelka as he is not performing well. We hardly produce somethin from the right and thats why we need Joey there. We do have a dilemma at the back. Alex has been performing very well these last two matches With Terry and Alex we will lack pace and mobility at the back. Milito has a lot of pace and is very agile and Eto'o has extreme pace and agility. With Sneijder behind them with his world-class passing ability, we could have problem if he is in top form. With Carvalho at the back we have a player with mobility and pace. Yes he has lost pace but he still is the fastest and don't forget that he has performed well in the big games this season. But if he asks Ivanovic to stay at the back more than he usually does, then it is possible to play Alex.I trust Ancelotti to make the right choice. But i doubt it when it comes to the issue of putting Nicolas on the bench. I hope he surprises me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing him in midfield could be the solution to the lack of creativity in midfield. IMO we need to attack and not the '' score 1 goal and defend after that '' tactic that send us out of the competition last season. That tactic is also bad for the hearts of Chelsea supporters . And he also could switch to the right wing when Anelka is roaming around the field. But on the other hand, Ballack does help a lot at the back. Sometimes he helps too much if you ask me with those annoying fouls because of his short fuse. But if it was my choice I would also play Joey in midfield. It would surprise the heck out of Jose .

Kostas 1,468 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'd rather see Alex play but he's not the most agile defender so that may prove to be a weakness.As long as Mikel doesn't do any silly mistakes,Anelka doesn't slow down our attack and Ballack isn't giving away possession we should be fine.I can't see Drogba getting owned like in San Siro so I'm pretty confident he'll score.If Inter scores first we're done if we do I think they may panic.Our boys are more hungry for the CL than they are for the EPL but maybe they've just lost all hope after last year.We'll know tonight.No matter what happens we'll still be singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I'm sure Riccy will play, especially with Ross in goal. His pace vs Eto'o could be important. Edited March 16, 2010 by DavidEU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbchel 2 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 riccy has more experience in big games than alex!!!while ballack can be very useful to snuff out counter attacks compare to joeywe just need one goal....so stability is importantmaybe perhaps with 25 minutes left, and its still stalemate joe cole can come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I really feel that Inter will score tonight......If thats the case we'll need a minimum of 3 goals to be anywhere near going through.If they get two we'll need to score 4....it'll be a big ask and we'll need to be switched on from the first to the last whistle. No fucking about tonight lads ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para6iT 2 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Damn. I cant imagine the feeling lost to them. Moreover to Inter, our ex-coach's club. We all dont know yet either Carlo will change his tactics and maybe he got a new strategies to defeat em. But I really hope Chelsea will win today, though my feeling keep saying it is 50-50 to win. And today game will be more tough and challenging than before at San Siro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I'm really not convinced that Carvalho has any more pace than Alex......He has no agility and he is slow in the head too. eto'o could ghost past him at any moment and score, john terry's lack of pace and agility is bad enough.

Blue in NY 26 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 So nervous right now. I know some people are partial to winning the league, and I love to win the league, but the CL matters a little more to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
