Nice one Chico. If Lukaku starts then he needs to have a good game especially after those comments last week and prove to us, himself and his beloved Chelsea fans that he is destined for the 'top'. I don't mind his comments if he actually plays well. This can be helped of course if the team give him some quality balls to run onto so I'm hoping we start with 2 actual wingers and either Nais or Barkley in there proper positions. Don't mess this one up Martinez!

Come on you blues

no doubt but you can dream ..... not too arsed about naismith/barkley, or barry as europa is slower, but i might fume a bit if he doesn't give Atsu a go, especially after talking about him in the press!

Get it out now then as I doubt we'll be going to expansive tonight, he'll keep it tight and hope to maybe nic it late on with an away goal.

It would be very foolish to go all out at them when it's a two legged game and we're not exactly bang in top form. He'll be looking for experience over flair in his starting line up tonight.
 

This is how I would set up

Joel
Coleman
Jags
Stones
Garbutt
Besic
McCarthy
Barry
Atsu (while he is confident)
Lukaku
Mirallas

This is how bobby will set up

Howard
Coleman
Jags
Stones
Oviedo
Besic
Barry
Naismith
Barkley
Lukaku
Mirallas

Big Dunc to come on for Lukaku after half an hour then bag a trick

You big kill joy!!!!! :) I take your point though, i'm ok with us playing it tight, but i think we can allow one flair player in midfield, and i'd seriously consider Atsu over Mirallas or Barkley as neither have been pulling up trees....

Agree with your lukaku comments. It reminds me of when either Fellaini's dad or agent or milkman was saying he wants to go to play champions league. I thought "fair enough, your playing well I understand why you may want to take the next step and you have stuck with us 4/5 years. Lukaku on the other hand is one of the reasons we have been shocking this season so show us why you should be touted to go to one of these "top" clubs.

Agree there. I think it will be a similar scenario to Krasnador & Lille rather than the Wolfsburg game. Stay disciplined and get them back to goodison on atleast an even keal.

Yeah it does look kill joy, sorry, just trying to ease the pain!

I understand what you're saying but Mirallas and Barkley will know the system better, I can see Atsu coming on late in the game though if we're chasing it.

I agree to an extent but I think he's definitely going to try to get a goal or two. We'll play on the break like but can see it being more expansive that against Lille or Krasnodar. Hopefully more like the Wolfsburg game.
