Hazard scares the shit out of me every time he gets on the ball.
If we keep him quiet second half we will win this. We are better in every other department tonight.

I agree they're fuckall without Hazard if we can stifle his influence 2nd half and get a quick game killing goal it's all over.

the commentator mentioned that we were playing pretty much our strongest possible line up, while i understand what he was saying the truth is we only have 4 of our best starting 11 on the pitch tonight. Zabba, Kompany, Yaya & Silva

These so called commentators really need to brush up on their homework.

I'm not gonna start celebrating just yet. Mourinho's teams are well known for getting absolutely dominated and then scoring from their one or two shots of the game.

running the midfield we'l get another cant see them getting anything they seem obsesed with putting deep crosses in from the right

The two most maligned players on this forum have made such a huge difference in confidence
Great half Garcia and Lescott, well done.
Now need one more at the start of the 2nd half to ease the nerves

Anyone else think that Chelsea shot their bolt in the previous game?

They dont have the same intensity this game

yeah sort of looks that way, although now i'm thinking did Pelle makes us looks shit in the previous game with an eye on this one?

That's that nonsense the media are trying to portray that the big clubs don't take the FA Cup serious enough. To me it's the big clubs that do and the middle clubs that don't. Chelsea have won the cup several times, we have won and made a final, Liverpool made a final recently, Scum made a semi-final.

 

[El Mago]

The best two players in our team so far are Silva and Garcia.

My tactical knowledge is a lot short of some on here but I have noticed that we aren't letting cech pass/throw to his fullbacks...and we are making them play thru luiz.

That's what I think anyway!!!!

Eto off Salah on
