I would say for Meireles and bring on Malouda/Kalou for him, keep that width especially with Alves in there.

But that would rinse out all of our subs.

It will be a miracle if Chelsea can pull this off. I want a Chelsea v Bayern final. I just hate John Terry.

Chelsea needs an 2010 Inter-like defense effort to stop more Barca goals.

I would definitely bring him in for Mata, who isn't really suited to a counter attack type of play and obviously they should just try to hold on like hell to win at this point.

I figured before the game if anyone outside of Drogba would score it'd be Ramires because of his wicked pace and ability to counter, what a **** lovely finish.

The red was a bit soft, but I can't get too upset at the refs because it's an absolute idiotic move by Terry to even do something like that. He's a **** moron for even putting himself in that kind of position in the first place.

That replay makes it clear Sanchez should have been cautioned for play-acting. He raises his hand looking at the official before rolling around clutching his backside. Still a red card for Terry, but damn how can you defend Sanchez after that?

If anyone has a good stream, feed my inbox. Mine is playing up and I can't get access to a TV unless I head out, which I'm not doing.

Think Essien for Miereles and Torres for Mata is the way to go.

You can't. The whole Barcelona team have been doing that for years. It's a ****ing idiotic move by Terry but for all the stick Drogba got today and last week that was almost ironic and hypocritical.

Essien in Mereiles out. Chelsea will need Mata and Drogba in case they need to score another goal.

Would definitely go Essien for Meireles, but after that we have one sub left and I think 20-25 minutes of Mata could prove helpful.

Divers should automatically get you a yellow card after the game. Half of Barca's team would be banned by now. :lol:

I feel like slapping someone every time I hear best team ever and this Barcelona side in the same sentence. Messi's great, he's got GOAT potential but this team is at best top 5.
