Benfica?
Fenevache?

Me personally it would be Basel.

Basel or Benfica. Really could do without travelling to Istanbul! Also since my Dad is a life long Fenerbahce fan (he's Turkish) it would be brilliant to play them in the final!

I'd rather face Fener or Basel. We should be able to beat any of them though.

We'd loose to Benfica over one game, would rather prefer them in the semis to have a shot.

Tricky as IMO Basel and Benfica are better than Fenerbache, however in terms of an away trip Basel have to be the best bet. We should be beating all of them really so it shouldn't matter to much.

Take out our main threat now. That being Benfica, beat them twice last season.

It wasnt great but where through, that's all that matters. Probably moses best game in a chelsea shirt, ake done well but tired to the end. i'm a huge torres fan and I know he's knowhere near the standard he was at liverpool but if you actually look at his performances of late, he's is recieving the ball a lot quicker and does look like he's gained a little pace back. I have been to a lot of games where torres hasn't even had a shot but of late more chances are being created for him a lot of the time on a fast counter. The only worry I have is we play well for 60 mins then go to pieces for the other 30. But as I said where through so hopefully beat city, i'm confident we can win europa league and get fourth spot. So what looked like a poor season could again turn in to a memorable one.

Walker out, Jenkinson or Rafael in, Fellaini or Yacob in for Yaya Toure and Cazorla should be somewhere on the bench. Other than that I agree tbh.

Missed the whole game I am gutted. Can anyone do some player ratings for me please

Cech 6- Pulled off one decent save just befor HT but maybe could of came to collect their 2nd goal.
Azpi 7- Decent game from him. Not really much to talk about.
Terry 5- Pains me to say it but awful game from him. Not the leader at the back that he once was. Can't blame Rafa for leaving him out the big games.
Luiz 6- Not a great game from him either, a few decent passes but looked shaky at the back.
Ferreira 6- Not much to say. Nice to see him play nonetheless.
Ake 6- Decent match for him, nice to see a young player getting a chance. Looked a bit tired towards the end.
Lampard 6- Brilliant pass for the 1st goal but other than that was pretty poor, didn't offer much defensively.
Moses 8- Good game from him. Lots of energy on ad off the ball and took his goal well.
Ramires 5- Not a great game for the Brazilian. His first touch was shocking and his passing also wasn't great.
Benayoun 6- One of his better performances this season but still very average. Good tracking back at times but offered nothing in attack.
Torres 8- Looks to have regained some belief in his ability. Took his goal brilliantly and made some decent runs. Good energy also.

Terry and Luix both very poor tonight, Mikel was a disgrace when he came on, Ake looked good in the first half but struggled towards the end. Very promising for the future. Thought Moses had one of his best games for us.

Moses great running with the ball, but passing and crossing he is terrible! And yes lamps, terry and luiz and mikel were dire.

I had thought it was a good game until the last 30mins. Our defence was horrid. We didn't have a flat back 4, it looked closer to a 'z' shape. Penalty decision was the most laughable decision ever. Gave away 2 poor goals. Ake looked a bit tired second half.

Ake looked as u would expect a boy amongst men. I think he will be brilliant but just wanted him have bit about him and take a little bit control and not just play it safe, so glad he played thou he will beads uve talent

someone on here said moses counts as a homegrown player.
surely not as he's Nigerian. {Ed002's Note - Go read the rules.}
Believable1
Unbelievable0
A homegrown player is someone who has played in England for 3 years before their 21st birthday. So someone who has been playing in England since they were 18. Moses therefore qualifies as homegrown.

Ed can you condense/explain why Malaga need to keep selling players with their debts? Also what happened to Gael Etock? He was supposed to be the best thing since slices bread!
EH17 {Ed002's Note - They owe a significant debt to the Revenue. I can't help about Etock.}

Hey guys, just wondering who you thought were the players of the season so far?
Other than the obvious Mata and Hazard who have both been superb I think both David Luiz and Azpilicueta have been fantastic.
For me Luiz and Cesar should be two of the first names on the team sheet these days. Luiz is becoming more and more consistent while also maintaining the ability to speed up the temp of the game, and play probing long balls. Cesar has been so consistent since his arrival, and in my opinion has become one of the strongest right backs in the league this year.

Unbelievable1
Definetly agree. I would say besides recently Bertrand has been dissapointing and with the year pva has had hell have a fight on his hands in the summer. And although Lukaku hasn't been playing for us I feel much better about him right now rather than this time last year.
