It's a semi final, and they have an advantage by playing on an artificial pitch that we're not used to. They beat Legia and Panathinaikos too so they can't be too bad.

We haven't won a trophy in nearly 4 years, I'd prefer we took this game seriously.

I think we should own how we feel about this competition because it’s complicated.

Mickey Mouse….. well it wasn’t for West Ham.

Will it keep maresca in a job??? Tough one!

I see it like this, I only want to be in this once… please once. But we’re in it so let’s win it.

We ain’t like the hammers, we ain’t gonna embarrass ourselves and sing champions of Europe….. however we are in a unique position. Win this and we stand alone as the only team to have won the f**king lot.

That sounds amazing to me so while we’re in it let’s do it. Come on you blues.

If you actually like Chelsea you want us to win and it would mean the world to the young squad who can only gain from this. We need to win together and this is the first competition to do so. No matter the level. Don't get cocky because we are not the side we were couple years back. Let's not put stupid extra pressure on the lads by always undermining this comp. I am sure the players want to win this. They can finish the royal flush with this in terms of European trophies.

They are 12th in their league, their players dont like playing on the pitch plus they are missing 4 first team players, if we cant beat them with half a team then we Dont deserve to win it

KDH masterclass incoming.

Lol Nkunku dropped from Conference League now. Unless he's ill

Picked up an injury according to Maresca.

Don't have a huge amount of confidence in this selection, hope I'm proved wrong

Why? They are 12th in their league, four of their main players are out

Gonna have one eye on the Forest game, we really need Brentford to get something out of it.

Pick 11 and the bench from the Forum...just as well have MOD and Axeman as the coaches..and probably play better than any 11 we have ATM.

Can I be one of those motivational coaches? I will use negative reinforcement, let's be clear about that.

I AGREE, CL QUALIFICATION IS A MUST.

We have no business in the CL, let's aim for the trophy that has eluded us for so long (three years or so?) !

I would prefer if the manager took it seriously as well, instead of choosing a different mickey mouse side every week and playing players out of position.. that would be a help for a starters

Never mind the astro turf and the opposition who by our standards are Conference League level. If Maresca and his younguns f this up he will have taken us lower than the last ECL match at The Bridge… not even a mug like him could achieve that level of failure surely ??😉

Christ that image of Cucurella. I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight!

Come on lads let’s win it. For the players, the owners, the manager and mainly for the fans. f**k me let’s not lose it

As I said before, hope we are never in it again, but we are………win it.

Win it we are the only club in history that can say we've won it all.

Booing the pope?
