Late leg injury. Hilo on bench

Big time injury at a pretty crucial stage! not good, but we have one of the best reserve/backup keepers in the business!

COME ON CARLO!

sh*t

Its just about the right team though.

interesting, no Essien again - now considering how he has been playing, cant say it concerns me either.

Gutted Malouda and Shev havent made the line up i have to say.

Not good, JT and Riccy need to boss things as they will certainly fancy their chances of an away goal with Petr out.

Really quite nervous now.

Skysports also doing my fookin head in. All they've done so far is talk aboput negatives in relation to us.

Topics covered so far include..our formation, grant's failings (unsurprisingly), leaks within the club to the press, how it will be really hard to keep our bench happy...etc

Sweet Jesus Souness of all peopel has just stuck up for us...well, I take back my criticism of the coverage...for now....

C'MON CHELS!!!

last night on RTE Souness predicted Chelsea to win the CL

Exactly the team I would have gone for bar I would have started Anelka and brought Drogba on late,

Souness is the most knowledgable pundit I've ever seen

Yeah can't argue with the line-up, especially the two wide players. SWP doesn't contribute enough and Malouda automatically makes us line up with 10 men.

JT & Ricky need to be on top form tonight.

us to win the CL???

Now that is a stretch, to put it politely. I would like some of what Graham is drinking please...

I have high hopes for kalou to have a big game tonight, he's looked very sharp of late...

Paulo and Ash need to have decent games tonight, with Carlo in Goal I can imagine some high balls in from the wingers, hope they can cut them out before they reach the area.

I have full confidence in Carlo!

Well, full-ish, anyway. Full-ish, FFS, not foolish, bunch of smart arses

supposedly Cech will be out for a month......

Ah, perhaps this time Carlo WILL get his champion's medal

last night on RTE Souness predicted Chelsea to win the CL

He's clearly a much better pundit than he is a manager.

Actually, I've always liked Souness as a pundit - he does normally talk a lot of sense. Especially when you compare him to the Shearer's and Lawrenson's.

Lets hope his spot on with that prediction.

What a fecking game by Carlo!!!1 ok he was not called on much, but that double save was brilliant. Long live carlo

i think cech missing is a woory, but seeing as though we have the two best keepers in the league we should be ok.
