Posted March 21, 201411 yr Not the easiest of draws but not the hardest, how does everyone think we'll line up for the away leg at the (??? [help, moi!]) Parc des Princes? Edited March 21, 201411 yr by Charles Ryder
March 21, 201411 yr Cech Usual Back Four (quite enjoy saying that now!) Rambo & The Beast Willian Oscar Hazard (Becoming the usual front three) Torres Willian and Rambo MUST play as they are suspended in the EPL and will have they're million watt batteries recharged (do they ever get flat!?) Subs pending situation: Luiz/Frankie for Rambo Schurle Ba Edited March 21, 201411 yr by ButchersHook
March 21, 201411 yr Please, Chelsea, bring out that fighting spirit and determination on the 1st of April and get through to those semis. I know we can beat them on our day, we just have to give it 110% come fight time! We were written off before. Prove those critics wrong again this time! Edited March 21, 201411 yr by enigma
March 21, 201411 yr Meh, PSG are good, but they're no better than us. If we shut down Zlatan (easier said than done) then I think the tie is ours

March 21, 201411 yr Do we know it's definitely the 2nd rather than the 1st? http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3724453/title/dates-announced-for-paris-st-germain-games
March 21, 201411 yr Six days between the two legs. Home game against Stoke sandwiched in between. At least it's not a lot of miles to travel.
March 21, 201411 yr I had a feeling it was gonna be PSG and I'm more than happy with the draw to be honest. Well pleased for Utd too!!!
March 21, 201411 yr http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3724453/title/dates-announced-for-paris-st-germain-games Brilliant! That suits me as it's my daughter's 18th on the 1st and I don't think watching Chelsea is how she envisages spending it!
March 21, 201411 yr There were 3 teams I didn't mind us drawing. Psg were one of them teams. Won't be easy but we have the defence to deal with ibra and cavani which is a good starting point. Fancy us to nick a goal or 2 away from home then bring it back to the bridge and do the business. Will be a good couple of games between two evenly matched teams Edited March 21, 201411 yr by Bluehatter

March 21, 201411 yr Can everyone do me a favour and please promise not to refer to Ibrahimovic as 'Zlatan' for the next few weeks? Thanks in advance.
March 21, 201411 yr I've only seen glimpses of PSG on highlight shows. They look ok going forward but nothing special. We've got to think we have a fair chance with this draw.
March 21, 201411 yr Pretty hard draw, but could have been a lot worse. If we turn up I'm sure we can take them all the way and beat them to the semis :D COME ON CHELSEA
March 22, 201411 yr whos 'the beast'? matic? hes ineligible for CL matches Yep - good point, got a little carried away with that... Switch beast for the Beaaaauuuuty Frankie then!
March 22, 201411 yr Will need to defend well ala Munich to go through first leg is key as if we a don't concede b nick an away goal we should do it at the bridge .
March 22, 201411 yr I hope this isn't a double edged sword, the extra games in midweek = 4, presuming we get past PSGwho won't be pushovers. I desperately want to see J.M win the title his first season back home, and I hope the wear and tear of the C.L doesn't give City/Pool an added advantage having the extra days breather.
March 23, 201411 yr According to John Terry we play better when we have two games per week. That's the way to look at it.
