McCreadie Report post Posted November 23, 2014 It's a lot to ask, but it would be good to win this, put the group to bed and give ourselves the opportunity to rotate extensively against Sporting in the last game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooba Report post Posted November 23, 2014 CourtoisIvan Cahill Terry AzpiRamires Fabregas Matic Oscar Costa HazardI think we might see something like this line up vs Schalke. Ramires basically the only change from yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised to see the sake XI from yesterday start on Tuesday though, particularly as Ramires wasn't fully fit yet.

Chelsea-Till-I-Die Report post Posted November 23, 2014 Sorry Robbie but I hope we give your boys a serious hiding. They should never have got a point at the Bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faramir Report post Posted November 23, 2014 We need to take charge in this game and be clinical with our chances. Our away form and results in the Champions League need to improve. Good opportunity to win the group Tuesday night. Let's take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Win the game, go through as winners after 5 games. Annoyingly, the extra 2 points in Maribor would have meant we just need a draw.Anyway, win then play some youngsters in the last game. Lovely.

Flinkers Report post Posted November 24, 2014 NK Schalke?They've been pretty up and down since Robbie joined them - he's trying to make them fitter and more compact but it's not really working yet.At the weekend they raced out to a 3-0 lead and then ended up holding on by the odd goal. They've been involved a few odd goal games and will give us chances. Even if we weren't on a good run I'd expect us to beat Schalke in most matches. The only way they get anything is if we dose through match like last time.I'd be happy with a professional job on them. 2-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This fixture is followed by a nice gap (probably the longest until the New Year) before the Sunderland game so a bit of recovery time is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
