That would be an immediate positive action!

I would really like to see 4-3-3 for this game: Tibo Azpi - Luiz - Chris - Rudiger Moses - Kante - Alonso Pedro - Morata - Hazard yes, yes, i know - never try something new in a such an important game! I know/assume Conte will stick with 3-5-2! But simply would like this formation to have a cameo at some point (with one or two subs from the 3-5-2 it can be done!! ) Having Luiz pushingup the pitch picking out the front three, cant hurt either! As we all know we have become FAR too predictable!! Lets give the opponents something NEW to deal with. KTBFFH!!

Game Day!!! Should be a good game - City playing their B team and us knowing winning this cup is realistically the best opportunity to saving our season!! Hoping to see Traore, RLC & Kenedy (like most of you here!) Also, would love for Hazard to have a good game, play hard with intensity and bag a goal or two... He NEEDS to set up to the plate, and no better game to get back back in it! Exciting game ahead! Come on Lads!!! KTBFFH!

Welcome!! Ivan hasn't been playing well at RB we would agree, but is SLOWLY finding his feet- Playing him in CB is a gamble and could go either way; we really dont have much choice (that said, personalty i would prefer him as CB and RB! as I have always appreciated Azpi in RB!) with poor Zouma being sidelined for the rest of the season - The fact the Terry isnt playing is also a HUGE psychological blow for us! He is our Captain, our Leader our Legend! Chelsea are most dangerous when we are unpredictable! That's a fact and we can look at CL 2012 for what happens when we have to mix things up and fight ourselves out of a corner! Terry wasn't there either... Bon Matche! Que le meilleur gagne!

That WOULD be interesting!! Might actually work quite well thinking about it - but we'd be reliant on Pedro and Wil tracking back and forth like Crazy - Ramires Style!

Apologies for all the various posts on this thread - Just CANNOT WAIT for this game to start! Buzzing!! :D ... that an cant be bothered to do my work. Procrastination Rules!

Last 10 games in all competitions: PSG have scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded an average of 0.5 goals per game Chelsea have scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded an average of 0.8 goals per game

" The New Classic!"

Need a few more of these positive, inspiring comments if you please folk! KTBFFH!!!!

Same game, 2015: no comment

I just thinking the same! *nervous smile* We play better being underdogs, we play better when certain formalities, like JT being captain and CB, are not at our disposal, we play better when we are forced to adapt and change! Who needs 4th place when we can win the Champions League!! ....too soon!?

Hazard - "Difficult to say no to PSG, as with all teams capable of winning the Champions League," he is quoted as telling Le Parisien. "Now, PSG is part of this category. And for me, winning the Champions League is the main objective. "But for now, I do not dwell on it." Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/difficult-say-no-psg-hazard#kBOy2TkSyQtZVTlo.99

Kind of a double edge sword really - If he plays well PSG want him even more than they already do! If he doesn't we risk losing the game but PSG might lose interest!

...Seems like most of their goals against us are headers!

Looking forward to this. As lots are saying, we need to press them hard right out of the gates and score early!!! Terry not being there is a massive blow for us, we will have the rely on Ivan as captain and for him to manage the squad on the field! Not too worried about him being as CB though. Matic Out Eden not fully fit My starting XI: Tibo Baba Gary Ivan Azpi Mikel Feb Pedro Oscar William Costa - Bring on Eden for Pedro - Bring on RLC for Mikel - Bring on Kennedy for Oscar Done deal 3 -1 Chelsea (Willian, Costa, Ivan!)
