They have improved since the last time we played them. Their form at the start of the season was really poor, it was one of the reasons why I thought that game was such a poor result for us. We made Valencia look a lot better than they actually were.

Agreed a  difficult match for us.

However, I reckon with the correct attitude, we can get the result to get us through.

Come on Chelsea.

They are 10th in league and their form is unpredictable though you can bet their motivation for the CL will likely be high.

Will need to play our strongest team.

I was in Barca and caught the Barca vs Valencia game in September. They were so open, a 16 year old made them look amateur. I couldn’t believe we managed to lose to them at home. They actually attacked Barca better than they attacked us and we still lost! Doubt we’ll get more than a draw, there’s no edge to us. 

here is a brief update from Valencia

They have a lot of injuries too, which probably plays a factor.

Must win match. Hopefully there will be some urgency from the start and we won't let in a stupid goal like last time.

sh*t forgot this was an early Kickoff. Will be a challenge getting back home from work before Kickoff. 

 

I wasn't impressed with Valencia when we played them in the first game. We were very wasteful and missed lots of chances, and don't get me started on the Barkley pen, while Valencia scored with there only chance of the game. On another day it could've been 4-1 

 

I think we'll win this if our defense is on their game and we take our chances, we're better than them in almost every part of the pitch. 

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

GAMEDAY!!! COME ON CHELS!!!

Shouldn't you be preparing your own team Antonio? Maybe if you weren't obsessing about us you wouldn't have blown it in Dortmund ?

1-2 with a late winner by Pulisic. Sorry Val...

Game Day.

Come on Chelsea !

Basically this game is a “must not lose” otherwise we pretty much drop into Europa league which I’m really hoping we don’t. Had enough of the EL.

That's a bit too exciting for me, but as long as we win I'll take it like a man
