He is when he refuses to play Ba yet more or less says he's sick of Torres.

Where is the sense in that?

I bet you jose doesnt want to play him but roman probably has had words with jose to keep playing him, that's why di matteo got sacked for refusing to play torres against juventus (or so i've read).

Don't you think your "perfect" manager deserves his lesson this year, which is to lose in 1/4 finals, after all these years of theater, disrespect, overegotistical behaviour? Just wait for 2 more days, it's coming.

ugh go watch your awful excuse of a league while you fail again to do anything worth note in europe, to think you're 3rd best team in france is lille who are beyond garbage says it all really. Monaco aren't that much better and they have spent a sh*te load

in terms of excuse(s), we already know what will be delivered by Mourinho after Chelsea is out

you're not facing French league, you're facing Paris Saint-Germain, nobody cares about Monaco (who knocked Chelsea out 10y ago btw) or Lille here

 
PSG have a superior team, but could only win through our individual mistakes, and at home! 

Not saying we're going to win, but I believe we will come out and give it a good go. Like Mourinho said in the post presser; the only thing we can do when we're 3-1 down, is to go out and attack. If we play Willian in the number 10 spot like yesterday and hazard and schurrle on either wings, I think we've got a great chance of getting a positive result. If we can get a goal early, it will put pressure on PSG; then we will see their true metal.

Chelsea collapsed physically in 2nd half, and PSG midfield woke up with their super technical skills. Trust me, we can be as exhausting as Barca.

Torres wouldn't even be a substitute in Paris.

I'm afraid that Jose is right, you will have to do without strikers, which will be challenging if PSG can shut down Hazard, now that we have an edge. Before having him with us next year haha!

The thing is with the turnaround in Paris it wasn't so much a physical collapse as a mental one, Once Torres was introduced in the mood he was in as I said we might as well have been down to ten men, if you think PSG areon the same level as Barcalona then you might have a bit of a wake up call pretty soon, I won't say we'll turn it round because I don't know if Jose will again trust Torres to lead the line and if he does I don't know what mood he will be in, I'll say this though...if Torres plays (and he wouldn't if it were my choice) and he has the right attitude, links up with the team and doesn't go missing I think we can get the result we need.

It's not easy as we have to make changes to our midfield, leaving our most solid DM out of CL games and trying to get a good mix in there is making it difficult to get the team playing properly as a unit and the lack of a top striker is hampering our progress, that said when the players we have are all right up for it, we can beat anyone.

This might not be our season but I think it could go down as the beginning of another superb Mourinho reign, over the next couple of years with those problems eradicated this season will be an interesting stepping stone in the history of the club.

 
Sunday morning... Probably still have a little wine left in my system, but I'm predicting 3-0 to Chels!!!!!

 
3-0 is pushing it, I can see us winning but not sure if we can win 2-0 3-1. Havent conceded in 12 hours at stamford bridge but i know we will concede Vs PSG.

Need to come out strong and put them on the back foot early. Need a good atmosphere and need all players to show up.

I said our style and midfield technicity can be as exhausting as Barca's. We're not Barca yet, of course, and we don't intend to be; Perhaps we'll have our revenge from last year, and we'll see.

Why you guys are so obsessed by Torres? For Paris, the main (and unique?) danger is Eden Hazard. Shutting hiw down would mean a peaceful night.

You can see clearly that Torres is burned.

 
Why has the thread for Tuesday, 8th been merged with the thread for the first leg?  We were discussing the next match not the last!

Obsessed by Torres, the only obsession I have with Torres is that being that his best form as a Chelsea player makes him barely good enough for a team at our level when he is on the field in less than his best form or worse, in the unmotivated mood he has been of late (typically the Palace game and the half he got against PSG, then we are effectively a ten man team...if you are happy that you're midfield "technicity" exhasted a team playing effectively with ten men then all I say is bring it on when it's eleven vs eleven (even if one of our eleven is a spent force in one of the most important positions as long as he is up for it) and we'll talk again afterwards...if you're still hanging around the forum.

It's a lot easier to shut out the threat of Hazard when the striker is as you say "burned", maybe if your defenders had to worry about a CF when they doubled on on Eden they would find shutting him out even more difficult.

Nah, I'm around to tease a bit and exchange with some friendly Chelsea fans. After the match, we'll say goodbye and see you maybe a few months later. I didn't know Chelsea players before our encounter, and I was quite impressed in the 1st half. You know, in CL, we always fear to concede one goal at any time, we don't play for 3 pts, right? Whenever Hazard has the ball, we pray a bit ... so should you when Lucas will have some space to move.

10 vs 11, well, the talented player who scored a killing goal at the last second sometimes goes through full matches like a ghost (which is why he doesn't start any more) and it's also like having 1 player less (we have another case named Menez too ...). So if he starts on tuesday, who knows what will be in his mind ... but he normally adds his best in big matches, so ...

Don't forget that Zlatan is out too, he can do more in 10 min that most in 90 min. It's not like all the bad luck fell on Chelsea hein!

 
Why have the two threads been merged, has the second leg been moved to Paris! j/k

Well anyways side I would like to see for the second leg.

Cech

Brana

Cahill

JT

Azpi

Mikel (Luiz if Mikel is not an option)

Lampard

Schurrle

Willian

Hazard

Etoó (Torres if Etoó is not fit)

 
No matter Gem, we need one I was just confused.  If you look at Izanagi's post 1021 you'll see that that was actually the first post in a new thread!  Don't know why or who merged them?

 
Im looking forward to the semi final.   Chelsea are more than capable of wining this tie.  Lots of noise from the support and every effort from the players to get forward quickly and PSG might just crumble.  A player like Hazard can trun a game all on his own.

 
Whilst cfc fans absolutely involved there's clearly French guys there that probably stirred it up to begin with
