      Can't wait until the weekend. Chelsea are toothless, and just park the bus. We have more than enough quality to convert a couple through their back 10.



      I wouldn't label them toothless but they are very boring and incredibly cautious in their approach. Don't forget they bullied our lads for much of the game after we got that early goal so we will need to be at our very best.

      Exactly, why would you play attackers when you don't plan on attacking. The only surprising one for me is Matic.

      Matic and Salah are both cup tied Luke, Ivanovic and someone else who I can't remember are both suspended due to excess yellow cards in this comp so that goes some way to explaining the weird team selection for such a big game.

      Seems like Terry could be out too, he's hobbling badly after standing on Luiz and his ankle giving way.

      Suspected as much when I didn't see him on the bench too Debs, cheers. Nice to see Cech and Terry injured before our game with them.

      It's always good when the opposition can't field their strongest 11 Luke and it's helped that there's nothing in this game so far.  At least he'll have the return leg on his mind on Sunday.

      I'm disappointed with AM though, I was looking forward to watching them after all the hype but I've not been impressed tonight at all.

      They've been very defensive in La Liga Debs, I expected there to be very very little in this, although I thought there'd be at least one goal.

      FA will announce Ramires result tomorrow but the rumor I saw on twitter said 4 game ban expected.

      So no Ramires, likely no Cech, maybe no Terry (although I think he'll play) and Hazard a question but I'll bet he's playing.

      Damn! Chelsea can really park a bus when they want to!
      That is so the opposite of Liverpool this season, we would have tried to grab an away goal it that game.

      God their an awful team to watch. Parked the bus and frustrate the hell outta the opposition. He does it well to be fair. Lampard and Mikel both miss the next match, so you can guarentee they will start on the weekend. Terry and Cech went off injured, so heres hoping their out for the weekend.

      Going to be a tough match!

      Since Chech and Terry are injured and Ramerez will probably face a ban and Mikel and Lampard are banned in CL next game you would expect the lineup to face us to be like this.

                          Shwawtzer

         Ivanovic   Luiz  Cahill   Azpilicueta

                      Lampard  Mikel

        Willian         Oscar        Hazard

                          Torres

      Can see Ba starting against us. Aerial ability and all that. Thought Hazard was out injured?

      Pretty good night from our point of view you have to say. Czech is a big loss if he can't play and likewise John Terry if the injury keeps him out. And now it looks as though Mickel and Lampard will both have to play (whether Maureen wanted them too or not). Hopefully Ramires will suffer a ban and perhaps Hazard is slow to recover and it starts to look better and better.

      Roll on this fooking game!!!!!! The atmosphere is going to be incredible. If the fans can replicate the atmosphere from 05 and 07 (and I think we will) I don't see how we can be stopped!!!!!

      Really?  Surprised you say that Luke, I've not watched any La Liga apart from when Suso or Ilori have been playing but everybody's been going on about how brilliant Costa's been and the goals he's scored I'd expected them to be playing a bit like we have.

      If they want the title they have to beat us Brian, a draw or a loss is no good to them.
