Chelsea vs Porto. Show must go on!!!

[loz]

I will be glued to my monitor Kev - bloody freeview is knackered and I don't want to fork out for an aerial upgrade so only getting 4 channels these days!

God I can't wait to move house

 

[ossie13]

Team same as started Portsmouth, Boula & Mikel added to subs!!

COME ON YOU CHELSEA

 

[bjd]

lets hope we dont miss Essien in midfield too much.

im sure we will still have far too much for them though.

looks like its gonna be a cracking atmosphere, from what i gather there is going to be flags given out again like there was for the barca game

 

[MHedges]

Looks like the team I guessed is starting...

except it looks like Bison is starting and not Buffalo

 

[german-blue]

C?mon Chelsea

Will be a tight match. Dont really have doubts that we are gonna go through anyway.

 

[Gem]

Starting line up of:

1 Petr Cech

19 Lassana Diarra

5 Michael Essien

6 Ricardo Carvalho

3 Ashley Cole

13 Michael Ballack

4 Claude Makelele

8 Frank Lampard ©

7 Andriy Shevchenko

11 Didier Drogba

16 Arjen Robben

In a 4-3-3.

 

[Phillip]

I like this line-up.

 

[Tim]

Do you think it will be the 4-4-3 Gem, as conceivably we could go 4-4-2 with Robben at the tip of the diamond? Is a bit more balenced than having robben, drogs and sheva as the front three...

guess we'll see shortly....

C'MON LADS!!!!!!

 

[Maksimov]

Maybe Sheva and/or Robben could grab a goal(s)

COME ON CHELSEA!!!

[Maksimov]

[Kev123]

[SydneyChelsea]

Fantastic football from us, as per usual.

 

[Maksimov]

[Anonymous]

Ballck airshot from 6 yds then Frank close ,itll come.

 

[Tim]

f*ck.

sh*t start....again...why we can't come out all guns blazing in a game like this is beyond me.

final ball is poor but at least we are pressing now.

Robben booked for blatant dive in pen area.

Robben booked for blatant dive in pen area.

Prick! (Robben not you Cloakey) it was an appalling dive)

 

[forbzy]

Its all a little predictable so far. Porto were given no real chance in the build up so they were always going to come out and stun like that. I just hope we keep our heads and pull it back. Of course now Porto have equalled our away goal so we will need to score at least twice to got through. Cmon you blues.
