Haha, since it has come to this I believe Barcelona will just win, honestly they've not been great, but it seems Conte has lost part of the dressing room, as well as the negative comments he makes about his team. 'We can't win the league', 'we need more and more'

Morata should be introduced in second half to freshen up the attack and add pace against tired Barcelona defense.

Honestly disagree, Morata may be meh in some games, but when it comes to Champions League he is a total beast! He is the opposite of Higuain if you wanna say so, not the best in league games but the man for Champions Leagues. It's kinda sad for you guys that you ended up getting Barcelona, they are too good as well.

I would start Morata, he probably is in the head of Barcelona players already for what he won in Real Madrid.
If it doesn't work out there is always Giroud.
We got a lot of intel on Barcelona just by having a player like Morata that plays for the national team of Spain, Conte does have a full gameplan and the players as well, hopefully Fabregas and Pedro can contribute as well.

For me, Morata because of his pace and he's an ex Real Madrid boy.

@legends16 I understand those that want Morata to start as he is a Real Madrid boy and its in his gene to play his hardest against Barca. He also scored against them as well when he played with Juventus. Still think there really isn't a obvious answer as which one would be best against Barca today. Will be interesting to see what Conte chose to do though and how it influence the game.

Yes that's true. I wouldn't be pissed off if Giroud started tbh, he would deserve it considering his performances for us so far. I have to take back what I said when we signed him - i think he actually could be very good for us.

7 reasons for Chelsea fans to be optimistic:

  1. We're Chelsea
  2. We play the best under the biggest pressure (e.g v Tottenham, match week 2 this season)
  3. We have Hazard
  4. Messi has never scored against us
  5. Fabregas/Pedro motivated to play against old team, Morata playing old enemy
  6. If Wigan can beat City...
  7. It's football, anything can happen

Also Barcelona in the last away matches in CL during the group stage hasn't scored goals at all, at home they beat Juventus but away they played 0:0 most games.

Lets hope for the best but I don't know how are we going to beat Barcelona without pure striker.

Half time, Barcelona 0 shots on target, Willian hit both posts and Rakitic commited 2 fouls after he already got a yellow card.
Looking good so far.

Barcelona as I said plays much more slower than Chelsea, I'm happy Suarez isn't having a good game so far and at the same time think that Hazard could have done better at his shots.

Frustrated with the unlucky missed chances. We should have been 2 up already.

We gifted Barcelona a goal, the lack of experience hurt Chelsea. 1:1 is overall a bad result for us, now we go to play away and need to score again, at least we can say that we deserved a win this game and that Conte's gameplan worked very well, Valverde got lucky with an away goal so this is not over yet.
