Be so nice to get a ref who understands the rules,,and the linesmen who dont overule each other and miss a vital happening...

Gana be a bloody tough game!! Win be nice...but worse comes to worse and we draw...away goal advantage and all

Need to rebuild confidence etc and loosing this one aint gana help in the slightest..Torres scoring be even better should he play..otherwise another week of the usual 'he a waste blah blah' headlins

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm not even going to say we are going to win, after what has happened to the last 3 games i have said that.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Time for Torres to shine

[NattyBlue 44]

Shot conversion rate to go up from the current 0.4% and up to about 65% please...

The team must be built around Torres for this to happen.

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Lampard - Malouda

Anelka - Zhirkov

Torres

The emphasis of Carlo's tactics must be, supply Torres with the ball, and support him if he lacks the chance to shoot. Carlo must fill Torres with the utmost confidence

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Would love to see a Torres hat-trick and a Drogba brace.

Hopefull........

[eldo 868]

Can't wait. Hope we will play well.

[Ollie 4,400]

a fucking goal would be nice.

Also to put Anelka in that position he needs to be fast and sharpe and for once have concentration, Anelka gets really edgy a lot of times. The Fullham match he slowed down the whole pace instead of going for quick play throughs to supply, he never went with the match flow, otherwise we could of had a lot more chances, you can't just wait with the ball and think where should i kick it, no wonder everyone started closing down on him, then he eventually ends up passing back to defence. All it takes is the midfield to play good, if that works so can the whole team, the defenders will have no problems, and Torres will get a lot more chances.

Agreed, was quite difficult to choose who to play there really. I'd forgotten about Mikel, so really:

Ramires - Mikel - McEachran

Lampard - Zhirkov

Torres

Would work better. However Lampard's looking off-pace lately so it's a risk.

Really excited for the match, I am a chelsea fan but a Copenhagen fan over Chelsea. Abramovic son is still interested in buying us according to himself, would have been awesome if it had happened already and it would be a father vs son match.

Our lineup will 95% sure be :

Wiland

Pospech - Zanka - Antonsson - Wendt

Bolanos-Claudemir-Kvist-Grønkjær

N'Doye-Santin

Grønkjær and N'Doye are our key offensive players, N'Doye while not being a extremely techical player scores a lot of goals and got the strength to push away defenders, Grønkjær is as you probably know a techical player who loves to dribble, Grønkjær rarely gives a average performance, he is either bad or amazing.

We play with very offensive full backs like you, especially the Czech international Pospech loves to go forward and got a really nice shot and scores quite often for us, Wendt is not as good at scoring goals but he gets in lots of crosses. Wiland is a fantastic keeper and has been a huge part of our success in champions league like the Brazillian Claudemir who we bought this summer from Vitesse who can btw throw very damm long, everytime we get a throw in it will probably end up in your box. Zanka and Kvist you can probably remember from the Denmark - England match not so long ago.

Our whole starting squad lineup has been over 50% cheaper than Torres and we know that Chelsea is a much better team than Copenhagen but there is no reason not to believe we can win after having won over man utd here last time we were in CL, actually we have never lost at home in champions league. This however is our biggest match ever in our 19 year old history and the fans and team will be ready to do everything they can to get even more success than the very surprisingly second place in the group stage against teams that on the paper are much stronger than us. Especially against Barcelona where we got a draw at home and probably deserved more as both Valdes and Alves the cunts should have been red carded, but you of anyone should know about the referees cock sucking on barcelona.

On the bench we will have the only (and just turned last month) 17 year old forward Kenneth Zohore, the guy is 1.9 meters high and weights 100 kg and is in family with Drogba (his father is his cousin), they have met before at family come togethers and stuff like that so will be fun for him to maybe play against Drogba. Zohore has been on trial with Chelsea before but he wanted to stay in Denmark apparently.

Our strenght is that we are very fit for fight and can run and run for a very long time, Guardiola said after the match against us that for once all his players were nearing death after the match of exhaustion and that he has never met such a intense and psychical strong team, that is what we are hoping to be able to show again even though we haven't played a real game since december!

If you got any questions about the game (or the stadium or anything if you are travelling here) I am more than happy to answer them.

Here's the imo two best matches from us in the group stage this year

There's the opposition views sorted Steve

But thanks for that mate! It'll be pretty emotional for Gronkjaer to play his old club, I hope he receives a warm reception in the return leg.

[TomCFC 356]

Our last hope.

The Champions League is always a strange one - Liverpool won in 2005, but finished fifth in the league. Our year?

I know it got a bit long but thought what the hell, might as well just make it long and detailed and the few people interested could read it and other just ignore it.

Anyway I will be going to both games on stadium, can't wait to re visit Stamford bridge (has been a long time). Last time we were there we got a decent result especially considering how bad we were compared to you. Remember that the guards were going crazy last time as the fans refused to sit down, have they become less strict with that?

CL or BUST.

Haha don't worry, people appreciate it!

Well Ollie said stewards kept telling them to sit down today. Depends which stewards you get really, sometimes they let you do your stand up chants, other times they make you sit down
