Hell of a long way to go here. We've died on our arsed before in similar circumstances. I don't think this wins it. Maybe whoever scores next goes on to win. The next goal is huge.

So want us to take control in this second half and blow them away.

Fluminense want the final as well. They have rattled us enough to believe they can score and win. We have to play better.

Felt like Sanchez was too slow coming out on the cuccu save.

That ain’t Maresca’s style unfortunately, go 1-0 up and slow the game down is his style.

As long as we don't score the 2nd goal the tie is just around the corner.

Tosin appears to be in the mood to do silly things

why the F can’t we double the lead right after the goal, so much oportunities and always wasted

Who were singing Oh Thiago Silva just now, their supporters or ours 😉 ?

And then comes the tie or the turnaround

I hope our American fans in the ground can lift the team with a rousing rendition of "the famous Tottenham Hotspurs went to Rome to see the Pope"

Go for it.

Well you know, we played so many matches this season already...

I saw a stat earlier somewhere that over the same period of time in the last year or so Chelsea have played 68 games and Fluminense 70.....not sure how accurate that is though

It was said in the press conference.... It was in the news all day 🙂

Nkunku and Palmer are net negative I never see either of them look good when both on the pitch

I saw that stat too 😉

Fabio Capello having the best time of his life.

No matter how much I try I just can’t enjoy Maresca football !!

Even when winning it is just boring as sh*te

We're keeping the ball for the sake of it right now. Somebody needs to force something to happen, it's too safe.

Yes that is correct. Reporter yesterday embarrassed Enzo in the presser with that stat.

We made that easy for Fluminense, that could have been a goal.

We found our striker!

Holy sh*t!

PEDROOOOOO

He's not bad this lad ... LOL

Ooooooooooooohhh!!
