Yes but they will cut through us like a hot knife through butte with Cesc in midfield. If he does play he should play further forward and not in midfield. Trouble is we have Hazard and Willian. I don't want to see either former Barca players on Tuesday night so that includes Pedro too. Fabregas can't defend or tackle and for that reason I wouldn't play him. He will be a passenger.

Barca will ensure Fabregas is closed down all the match if he does play. They are not going to give him time and space.

Exactly. We need to play 3-4-3

Looks like Conte will play Fabregas in midfiekd against Barcelona, according to The Guardian.

Tom Henning Ovrebo gives an interview to Marca 9 years after his dreadful, corrupt performance at Stamford Bridge against Barcelona. Are UEFA thinking of installing another corrupt c*nt to referee on Tuesday night? We shall see. We all know UEFA love Barcelona. I suspect we will concede a dodgy penalty and be reduced to 10 men. Seems to be about right............

Will Abramovic be at Stamford Bridge Tuesday Night?

You may be right but Hopefully Chelsea will raise their game against Barcelona. Better to go down fighting than to exit the CL with a whimper.

Sounds about right to me. No Cahill in defense, no Fabregas or Bakayoko in midfield. Kante needs someone beside him who can tackle. Luiz or Drinkwater is all we have. By playing a two man midfield we can have 3 upfront. We are at home and should be on the offensive not defensive. I'd play Giroud instead of Morata. Morata did sweet FA against Hull. I have a feeling Conte will pick a defensive team and we will not win but we shall have to wait until Tuesday night to find out his selection. We mustn't concede a goal at home. That's important.

Willian MOM. Very good first half display. Giroud scored. All in all a good performance but Barca will pose us very different problems. Fabregas had loads of time and space and he was in his element but he gave a penalty away which is the second match on the trot. The ref missed the penalty against West Brom. Fabregas is massively creative but he can't tackle to save his life. God knows what he would be like against Barca. The midfield will decide the match against Barca but that's where we are weak. Only Kante impresses me. Nice win tonight onwards to Tuesday night That will be very tough. KTBFFH.

Bit quiet on here. We should win this, so let's hope we don't mess it up. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

You love an argument don't you? You obviously live in the past, I live in the present. That's the difference.

That's including last season. We live in the NOW and Guardiola's win percentage is better than Conte's this season.

Don't believe all the BS you read in the newspapers or hear on TV or you will be sorely disappointed.

WTF are you talking about? Conte has won 16 games in the Premiership alone but Guardiola has won 23 games. Thus giving Guardiola a far higher win percentage record.

True but overall his play was very good and so was Dave.

Conte has only a win percentage of 20% in the last 10 games before tonight.

Dave was excellent too.

3-0 win but not really impressive. Hazard was excellent so was Christensen. We were better than we have been even Morata played OK but we don't look back to our best. It looks like Conte still rates Cahill and I daresay we will see Bakayoko soon too.Pleased for the win but not jumping for joy.

Conte really is a dumb ****. Cahill for Christensen? LOL.

Cahill coming on.

OH HAZARD !!! BRILLIANT

MOSES !!!!

Shocking. They nearly scored

We are not playing brilliantly. West Brom are bottom of the Prem. Fabregas gave away a penalty which the ref missed, Moses headed into path of West Brom player who should have scored. Zappacosta was fouled and it was a red card which again the ref missed. LOL. Giroud has missed some chances but his link up play has been good and he's given his all and has the scars to prove it. Pedro has been good but we are in danger of conceding without that cushion of a second goal. An improvement over our last games but against Barca and Man City we will get smashed.

Hazard !!! Lovely goal.
