Chelsea vs Eintracht Frankfurt (EL) Thur 9th May 20:00 GMT

[DarkMata]

Well I'm pretty confident we'll hammer them.

[Munkworth]

Well it’s currently pissing it down, I’m not sure whether that’ll put or player off more or the Germans 

[the real shed end]

On my way and confident we will go through.

We need to concentrate at the back and Eden to produce his magic.

What us fans have to do is get behind the team and sing our hearts out.

Sarri needs to play Ruben for 90 mins too

Come on you Chels cheer me up

No way we can take progression as a given. Frankfurt are a top team and lethal on the counter. In some ways playing away from home will suit their style even more. No Kante and no Rudiger leaves us in a difficult place as well. Let's hope for one final home display from Hazard to get us through. 

Bridge should be loud as well hopefully 

Kepa, Dave, Andreas, Luiz, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Ruben, Willian, Eden, Giroud.

 

I like to see Barkley start over Kovacic in this match - Let the English dominate the midfield like Glenn Hoddle wanted - ok I admit he was right on this

[Gol15]

Eden legend. Hope he scores.

4-2 @ 33/1 

3-1 @ 10/1

I fancy either of those, can see ? plenty of goals for some reason

[coco]

5-3 @ 150/1

 

............cover bet ?

How's the Shed End feeling prior to the match tonight? I had a dream last night that Sarri didn't start Hazard again... what an odd thing to dream about

[the real shed end]

Germans eveywhere 

[Scottyblue]

I'll be cheering on tonight with a few beers from my sofa in sunny Glasgow, hopefully cheering on a resounding Chelsea victory.

There was more than 2000 Frankfurt fans at the entrance to Brompton Cemetry alone

Trouble tonight I feel

take up a position and hold your ground, give covering fire when needed and dig in, good luck soldier.

Sarri is a gentleman and a good sport. He can see how much this means to Frankfurt so he has given then a good chance by starting 10 footballers and 1 headless chicken. 

Fair play.

[dansubrosa]

Who should play instead of Kovacic? Barkley?

I like the line up.

The most balanced lineup we’ve got, except maybe Pedro for William. But we haven’t got many options. Barkley gives less strength to our midfield in my opinion (when playing with RLC).

That's no way to talk about Belgians, even though they are... well, Belgian!

Far more polite than that lot from the gutters of North London...

Oh there are many ways you could describe our Eden, but I would not call him that Val lol.

[axman2526]

If us and Arsenal go through it is the first time in history I believe that both European finals will be contested by teams from the same country.

 

So you just know one or both of us will screw that up lol. Though I would much rather play Valencia than Arsenal as I think we would have a better chance IF we can upset Frankfurt.
