This the kind of game where you need Mikel to do his boring holding job and Ramires to run all over the field. I don't know how good Porto is, I suppose they can't be that great if they managed to lose 0:2 at home.

 

All I could say to Jose is, don't go without a fight!

Come on Chels need to wake up and get our season back on track now!

So win and we are top, draw and we're 2nd.

From the results today winning the Europa wont be much easier than the CL. Even more so depending on who else finishes 3rd tomorrow.

Im probably wrong but I have a feeling we're going to win

I truly hope that the team shows up for this one and makes a big statement of intent, i remember our past do or die games, the character, passion, belief and never say die attitude that the players used to show in these type of games to get the job done, we had different types of characters in the team and dressing room back then and that´s what playing for Chelsea is all about, that for me is our true identity and what defined us and gave us so much success for many years, we seem lost at the moment and it´s a shame. Let´s all hope for the best, that the players give their all and try to win for the manager, fans and the club they represent, then kick on from here. Cheers to all and KTBFFH

the Europa League has become so much harder since we won it, many quality teams, but i hope we win today and qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. Cheers

Believe me, i´m from Portugal and Porto is a very tough team to beat, we all know that from previous meetings, Porto will be up for it, it´s a do or die game and anything can happen, it´s going to be hell, so we must do our job and make sure we qualify and i hope Stamford Bridge is roaring later, and the team is up for it and gives Porto hell. We need to make Stamford Bridge feared again for opponents. Cheers

Team I would like to see & believe it will do the job that is nessasary & 2 - 0, 1 - 0 or 0 - 0

Courtois

Azpi

Cahill

Terry

Baba

Mikel

Loftus-Cheek

Willian

Hazard

Kenedy

Remy

The team that Jose will put out, & which I will not be surprized that will be defeated, 1 - 3 or 0 - 3

Courtois

Iva Zouma JT Azpi

Ramires Matic

Pedro Willian Hazard

Costa

Oh well there is always next season to look forward too.

Lol, even the fans find it so easy to predict Jose's team. Why can't Jose try something else?

I just predict a high scoring match for some reason, I'm gonna say 5-3 to us.

 Draw would still get us top provided dynamo win their game by less than 5 goals...

Just looking through here, couldnt agree more. Kenedy, Baba, RLC all should start. As should Remy.

Going to penalties then.

It wouldn't. If three teams have equal points and head-to-head does not decide it then it goes to a 3 team 'mini' table where they check points first and then goal difference. So the 8 goals we scored against Maccabi wouldn't help us at all.

Had a good feeling before the Bournemouth game. Have a bad feeling today so not sure what to make of that.

 

Just think they are going to run right over our midfield. Fingers crossed though, big night for us.

 

I do think leaving Cesc out of the team for Mikel/Ramires/RLC could save it though but don't see it happening. Mourinho is too stubborn.

I'm hoping Fabregas doesn't start! His form recently has been atrocious. I have a feeling we'll narrowly win this in a tight one.

 

I just want to see the crowd get behind the boys and the manager and maybe just maybe they'll repay the faith with a good performance here.

 

Prediction - Chelsea 2-1 Porto

Edited December 9, 201510 yr by Jezz

If we are lucky, we might sneak a 1-0

I can't tell anymore what the problem is. Doubting my support for Jose and very frustrated at lack of opportunity for RL C and youth. Some players so obviously not cutting it and still getting picked. Please come out and surprise me but I'm jaded and low expectations on our ability to cut through.. Fancy us to sneak through but where is the big picture plan.

It's season over if we lose tonight. Come on Chelsea

Stick on draw

The top sides all have one thing in common. If they lose the ball, they swarm around the opposing player until they get it back. The silky skills of Barca wouldn't work without the endless chasing and harrying if the opposition dare to take it off them. A high octane approach that maybe no team can sustain over a PL season. It may seem that we're not working hard enough, but when you see the injuries piling up at City, and the lacklustre performance from United, you wonder whether PL is just becoming too draining for the elite players.

I think everyone will bust a gut tonight and take us through, but the hangover will be extreme. Leicester I don't fancy at all

Mourinho will drop Fabregas for this match accroding to Mirror.

so only way to top the group is by winning now..

Great news, but who is going to replace him? Better be not Oscar, imo.

.....................Willian........

...........Matic..........Ramires

I can live with that.

Is set to be Ramires.

 

Very nervous for this one bro. Don't know how to kill the time till the match starts. Any idea? :P

Currently i'm doing some math, sequences and their limits, don't know whether it would help you.

 

Ramires is a very frustrating player to watch, tonight he has to bring his a-game, otherwise we're f**ked, because i don't want to see some heavy touches or bad passing.

A least there is one guarantee; he will give his all, that counts for something at the end of the day.

It hasn't been discussed on here i think:

After the presser my impression is that Mourinho is seriously unhappy with all of his strikers which includes Remy.

Will Mourinho go with Diego Costa, or will we see Remy, or the false 9 called Hazard?

I seriously have no a clue.
