Chelsea F.C. II: Return of the Special One

[Jimbo]

Looks like Shurrle is most likely to leave.

Yep, Wolfsburg apparently

 

[Mong]

That's disappointing, haffa doesn't want to play any more.

The original fish in a barrel appears to still want to though.

Bang bang jimmy

 

[Haffa]

Probable Lineup in the morning:

...........................................Courtois
Ivanovic......................Cahill..............Terry.................Azpilicueta
..................................Fabregas........Matic
Willian......................................Oscar.........................Hazard
.................................................Costa


I'd prefer Zouma over Cahill but Gaz seems to be preferred in the big games.

Looks about right

Our very few ordinary performances so far this season have usually been followed by very good ones. I'm sure the lads will be very keen to get back on track

 

[Haffa]

Oscar will provide what we lacked last week. He's the best number 10 we have.

 

[Jack_Napier]

I know we'll be unchanged from the first leg as well. Gerrard playing further forward thank god, expecting a Chelsea backlash at the bridge so hopefully us Reds can show some fight.

Sturridge off the bench you reckon?

Sturridge off the bench you reckon?

He apparently played a practice match again our fringe players yesterday and bagged a hat trick. Not sure how accurate/true that is tho. I'd love to see him off the bench, even if he gets 10mins towards the end. Provided he is fit of course.

Looks like he's out.

 

[Haffa]

Chelsea starting XI: Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Luis, Fabregas,Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa

Luis in, Zouma in,

Oscar is the most important inclusion vs last week. He presses, means Costa presses WITH help, CFC play higher not retreat deep.

 

[Jimbo]

Got your wish. Mou is betting on Zouma being that half a yard zoomier...

 

[Haffa]

Liverpool pressing well, we are a little too exposed in front of the back 4.

 

[Haffa]

I need a nap after that.

We didn't let it slip.

 

[Jimbo]

Very convincing effort from both sides

We were able to show our quality though...

 

[Haffa]

Cuadrado very close to coming in.

 

[Haffa]

Never been so pumped for a league game as I am for Saturday after all this bollocks. A win would really stick it in all their faces.

Looks like Toure and Bony will be in Africa for a little longer, although the prospect of facing two jetlagged players didn't really bother me too much

An eight point gap with fifteen games left would do rather nicely...

 

[Jimbo]

Spurs in the final then, although they did their best to let the Blades back in

We'll have a week to prepare after our trip to Burnley. They'll have two and a half days after their trip to Florence...

 

[Jimbo]

Beavis nears the exit...

[Haffa]

Yeah not worried tbh. Thorgan should come in next summer.
