SO undeserved, christinsen let himself down there, playing teh suicide pass, that's why I said go for experience at teh back, we can beat these mugs, they had nothing for us all nights

Just got in, wt serious f**k with that line up, what is he doing????

We all know what conte will pick if we are honest his standard 11 but I'd go shut out and grit,we need experience and fighters, you need that against Barca and if it was we I'd play: Tibo Rudiger Christensen Cahill Kante Luiz Azpi Alonso Pedro Hazard Giroud I'd start Giroud although Morata has great CL experience and a good record, he can't hold up the ball as well as Giroud who is a tank, that will let Pedro and Hazard cause havoc on the counter, that's why I start pedro just over willian although Willian can help out in defence more and is on form so that's a close one to call. Luiz has proven to be steel in the Mid, he has experience and is a warrior this position even worked recently against Tottenham, I would have put Emerson for the added speed but went with Alonso purely because a free kick in the right area is a very good chance of a goal he is deadly, I think Cahill is just not good enough for us anymore as a starter but his experience and leadership is what's needed here, him and Luiz keep us up to the challenge Moral wise, again Azpi not the best at wingback but you would imagine he will spend most of his time at full back against barca so 1 more good experienced defender is teh way I would go. My problem with 2 slow wingbacks is breaking but I think Haz and Pedro can pick up teh ball deep play off Girud and start the counter that way, we have speed in Emerson and Zapa but we lose the set piece which could be the difference and we lose a CB when sitting back if we play Zapa. If we play them they will rip us apart, Chelsea do best sitting back and breaking, we can beat any team in teh world when we have a good day and play that style, no shame in it, it's served us well.

It's actually depressing looking at that knowing it's possibly our best team, I don't think that's who will start, but still...We used to be able to field a first 11 with, JT, Carvalho, A Cole, makelele, Lamps, Essien, Drogba...my goodness what a downgrade in character and ability.

Worked well against Atleti, I was at that game and we were brilliant, but I agree it just stopped working, 5 defenders, 2 DM's a CM and you are relying on so few creative players, we need a front 3, suits teh players better.

This match is a barometer if the players want him to stay they will put in a shift, if they are half arsed we know where they stand with him

Cahill can give moral support from the stands

According to local legend

If I'm honest I haven't been a fan when we were really crap, I'm an 80's baby, I remember when I first went to the bridge, '94 we lost at home to Rovers, this was spencer days, Hoddle was manager, we finished mid table that year 1 place above arsenal, and I didn't mind it less expectation. The following year we had 2 mid table finishes then Gullit came along, we got 6th and I thought hold on we could be getting somewhere here, 97-98 season qualified for Europe, for me these were the best years then when Roman came in it was dreamland, I couldn't go back though. Those golden years for me 97-03 were one stage where we were doing brilliantly without money, when the money came and we became elite this was another chapter, I'm now used to us being elite I couldn't go back, call it plastic call it whatever, it would feel crap to be 6th now whereas back then it felt like progress, different times, different dynamics, cant look down on fans for getting used to success.

True they got our most successful manager sacked now this guy who did amazing things first season, broke club records, but yea the weak hearted divas shouldn't answer just the manager....thats the reason we are in trouble

We love giving new managers points, we love not taking advantage of our rivals dropping points, no f**king heart in this team

He positioned himself horrible asking to have the ball bent round him

Sub cahill for a f**king traffic cone

f**king disturbingly bad defending......Messi, Dembeli, Suarez...yea that will be good times

WHAT THE FUUUUCKKKKK

Poised for a Girrud 91st minute screamer

Thats why he gets the big bucks

why is luiz playing all teh forward ball and not cesc

Bring Musonda on

They are singing the bakayoko song haha brilliant

To be fair he almost got us back in the FA cup final by himself, he was a fighter but I get what your saying, at times he did sulk

Please make a f**king change and give them some time to effect the game, its NOT WORKING

Zapacosta f**king the line, basics man basics

Our counter attack ends back at the keeper....get a player on to hold up play....we just bought one.

You don't need foresight you need to give players that the scouts had foresight about a chance to develop, we have kept some sh*t players on our books for years and given others no chance that have flourished.
