And look at him now he's been injured for like a year

Hardly any players are regular at 18, even Iniesta wasn't! What robin said IMO was just really stupid lol

I'm off now cya

I agree with both. While the price tag should have meant he played more however hes 18 and go plenty of chances. you can call someone poor if he hasnt had a chance to prove himself.

Chamberlain was hardly playing for Arsenal before ACON when gervinho left us which meant he had to play. since its finished chamberlain has stopped starting and has only come on as a sub every now and then

lstd you should have taken last 2 games much more seriously. You aren't guaranteed to win the CL so you should have tried to get into the top 4 so you could at least guarantee you're in it next season.

Its a huge risk just relying on the final

I dont think they will beat Bayern

I agree Wilshere we should have done but 19 games in like 6 weeks isnt easy team had to be rotated. Damage in the PL was done before RDM was in charge imo would have exptected all the PL results he's got except Newcastle loss. Think the club want to win the CL though, don't really seem all that bothered about missing out on top 4 to me which is wrong but what can you do.

Think we have enough to beat Bayern but we have to be at our best. Vs Blackburn if give some younger players games, Lukaku, Hutchinson, Bertrand, Chalobah, Piazon wouldn't risk first team players we already have enough injuries!

Hilario
Hutchinson Chalobah Terry Bertrand
Romeu Miereles
Sturridge Malouda Piazon
Lukaku

Probably what I'd play

Too many important players out imo, whereas they are only missing a fb arent they?

And for the record i never said lukaku was rubbish just thought he should have been playing more as i bet he scores a hat-trick v blackburn lol

if your chelsea back 2 were having that much trouble with suarez and carroll, id cant imagine how bad its going to be for them against bayerns front 3

Yeah but tranquil they clearly didn't play anywhere near their best and it's not even the two that will play Bayern anyway there's probably only going to be 1 player for the team last night that will play the final

Fan they have Alba, Gustavo and Badstuber so they will play

Meyer
Rafinha Tymoshuk/Van Buyten Boateng Lahm
Tymo/Kroos Schwein
Robben Mueller/Kroos Ribery
Gomez

We will have

Cech
Bosingwa Cahill Luiz Cole
Mikel Lampard
Torres Mata Kalou
Drogba

I'd imagine. IMO their injuries affect them more than ours. Can do without Terry, Cahill and Luiz have been excellent together, Ramires and Ivanovic big losses but Bosingwa plays well in the big games, Torres on form means we will be more attacking than vs Barca but we don't need to be that defensive

Ramires your biggest loss imo, still you never know if players cant get up for one of the biggest game in there careers then they never will

I'm not sure think you could argue that Ivanovic is, Ramires will be a loss but Torres has the pace to do what Ramires would do attack wise, main problem is defensively down the right which would be different if Ivanovic played.

As long as we have Drogba upfront anything is possible, he'll be up for it no doubt. When he's up for it he's virtually unplayable, with bayerns main Cb out he's got a great chance to impose himself. Even without great service he will do something whereas the same cant be said for Gomez, if Chelsea can contain the attacking trio behind him we will win

'if' they can, but its a big ask

Well if you can do it to Sanchez, Messi, Iniesta, Fabregas you can do it to Ribery, Robben, Mueller/Kroos

of course they can, I just cant see it, espcially as its a home game for them which will help

Last chance for most of the Chelsea players, think that desire can match home advantage tbh especially with the others knowing they have to win to play CL

the difference between barca and bayern is that bayern will be a lot more physical, and have a plan b, barca only play one way, and chelsea could at least work out how to try and stop them

and barca did miss some guilt edge chances during the 2 legs, and i think all of your luck may be used up

Chelsea more than capable physically though that's our main attribute tbh so think we will be fine. Going to be a good final could go either way

Good afternoon

jesus christ, mcleish wants to sign karl henry, he really needs to be sacked quickly

He's an improvement on Villas midfield tbf

I know. Who do Villa have in midfield now that Petrov can't play?

the fact that henry is seen as an improvement shows how far villa have gone under him

----------Makoun----------
Gardner----------Bannan

next season if Makoun comes back

Beating Barca over two legs is far tougher than beating Bayern over one leg in my opinion.

In a game like that its impossible to predict.

Its hardly his fault that Henry is seen as an improvement. Just have to look at the squad he has, bench or first team always has a lot of youth players there.
