Woke up this morning full of optimism about the game. I’m ready to be hurt again.

Let's go all out.
             Mendy

      James Silva Rudiger
 Ziyech Kante Kovacic Alonso
    Mount Havertz Werner

We are very capable of going into half time with a one goal lead tonight. If we do it's game on for the last 45.

I dot mind ending the game with this lineup but starting with aloso and ziyech at wingback is borderline suicidal.

We don't need to go hung go. We can score 3 goals in the second half . The one thing we can't do is LOSE the tie in the first half

I woke up the same way, sun is shining and was having good vibes! But then I remembered that we are playing today. I am not ready to be hurt again.

Think it's going to be too big of a task to keep them quiet and score enough ourselves. Can see a 1-2 defeat or something like that.

Teamwise, I would go for something like:

Mendy

Alonso
Rudiger
Silva
Azpilicueta
James

Kovacic
Jorginho

Mount
Havertz
Ziyech

Spanish Plonkers 0 - 4 Champions of Europe and the world

As I slept last night I saw the skysports website and it listed the score of tonight's game:

Real Madrid (7) 4 - 0 (1) Chelsea.

Will this be right, or Vals prediction. Or neither? Wee shall soon find out.

We need to hope for a strong Ref tonight, Madrid are going to go early for a goal, then just basically mess the game up as much as they can get away with, it will be a sh*tfest.

It is the one thing we can be 100% sure of. Real feigning injuries and time wasting, and the ref letting them.

I'm expecting 0 - 2 to us to take it to extra time, followed by us winning a nervy penalty shootout.

I think it’ll be 1 - 1. Benzema with another worldie, we get a late consolation goal.

Would strongly expect Tibo to be better than Mendy or Kepa in that situation.

Have we come from 2 goals behind against any side to win since TT took charge?

No replies eh? Last time I remember us doing so was against Napoli in 2012. Maybe there has been a more recent one but cannot think of it.

One more hour ladies and gents, then we find out what our last starting line up in the CL is this season.

PSG in 2014 but that was with away goal advantage. We need 3 goals today to avoid pens, just a lot to ask atm.

No.

But we did come back from 2-0 against Liverpool this season for the draw.

The last time we came back from a two goal deficit was....

SAT 14 APR 2018

PREMIER LEAGUE

Southampton 2   Chelsea 3

Tadic (21'minutes), 

Bednarek (60'minutes)

 

Giroud (70'minutes, 78'minutes), 

E Hazard (75'minutes)

Ah I remember that now, thanks @coco Saints again lol.

Ah the days of a prime Eden and Giroud, Olly is up there with Diego for me, such a top player.

If only we had them now rather than Werner, Ziyech, CHO and Lukaku. Not fit to lace Ollys boots.

We really have come a long way as a club in the last 20 years.

If we had to go to RM 2-0 down 20 years ago we would of been written off by everyone.

But iv'e seen people saying today "write them off at your peril" and RM fans saying "it isn't over yet"

 

Time to predict who I think TT picks today

 

Mendy

 

James

Silva

Rudiger

 

Dave

Kante

Kova

Alonso

 

Mount

Havertz

Werner

It is basically on our defense and mendy finding themselves again and us being able to supply Havertz with enough chances.

Mount had his purple patch game on the weekend, Werner misses open goals, Christian left the real Pulisic back in the US celebrating their world cup birth and Ziyech is far more miss than hit. The good chances falling to Kai are key, the others will miss them.

Loftus Cheek instead of Ziyech and this is the team Tuchel have gone with tonight!

Going all out attack.

What a glorious 8 minutes they were!

Looks like RLC at RWB again unless he is meant to play defensive midfield. Glad Werener starts

Is it all out attack? Still a back 3 on paper and if it is a 4 Alonso is at LB...
