Chelsea Pre match thread

According to who?

Simon Mullock asked him last night.

We should probably apply the same tactics as we did against PSG. We will need it again in the semi final, presumably, so it would make sense to train it.

Nasri in for Kev

Nacho in for Silva

4 - 4 - 2

Win well.

Nasri in for Kev

Kev out worked brilliantly v West Brom, didn't it?

Kev has to play, City simply cannot seem to win without him anymore. Add some personal feelings of vengeance v Chelsea to that, and the Ginger God will rock.

Best to keep the same kind of formation as used v PSG for the rest of the season as someone stated earlier, if just to train it for CL purposes.

Have him on the bench as a super sub.

He worked his Arse off last night and deserves a breather.

Looking like a healthy squad at long last. Hope we use it to our advantage and finish the season strongly. Build up some confidence to take into Europe with us, and draw a line under a disappointing domestic season with as high a finish as possible.

Onwards and Upwards.

While it would be nice for Pep to get a run at the CL next season there is no guarantee we will get to the semi final again. Are we more likely to win it this year or next? If you think it's this year and I do then we have to sacrifice our league position in order to win the CL.

So our league team has to look something like this.

................Hart
Zabba Otamendi Mangala Kolarov
.........Fernando...Delph
Navas.......Yaya..........Nasri
..............Nacho

Winning it this year and not qualifying next year harms the transfer budget more than semi final this year and qualifying for next season.

dont forget that 3 days after chelsea we have newcastle away so the last thing we need is to run the players into the ground now we have a couple of games left

Put me up front against Newcastle and il bag a couple... ;) haha. If we are resting players for away games it should be Newcastle, not Chelsea?
