This match is worth the wait!! I predict a very very defensive game with more than one goal difference if at all. that should work in our favour unless we play stupid.

@vovka, Ibra is in Barca!! Wake up, kid.

Please, do not abandon Riccy – Terry headquarters of defending, unless it is really necessary. It is an absolute necessity in such kind of matches. Alex is the man of many qualities, but he sometimes can be sloppy at ball control and I am afraid the likes of Ibrahimovic could get something out of it. Moreover, Riccy is not fast enough nor the type of player to fill on the left or right back – and he definitely will be in the starting 11 at San Siro.

My best left-back now, with all these injuries, is Ivanovic; unfortunately, he is the best right back as well. I would use him rather on the left, as he is able to play with both legs, and let an orthodox right-foot Belletti on the right, with only defensive tasks at most parts of the game. My lineup:

Cech – Belletti, Riccy, Terry, Ivanovic – Ballack, Mikel, Lamps – Anelka, Drogs, Malouda

This is the best we have got at the moment and, most important, it is the squad full of experienced players. Please, no Bruma on the pitch unless it is 3-0 to Chelsea and 2 minutes till the end. Against Wolves he looked quite nervous and I am afraid the atmosphere of San Siro, team full of stars and Mourinho on the bench would be just too much for this youngster.

Finally, I hope we will play 4-3-3 with wide wingers for most of the match; it is a great tactics to build up a counter-attack with an aerial pass over the midfield formation and this could be just O. K. against Inter. I expect Mourinho to pull midfield back and wait for counter attacks as well, so we need to open up the space somehow. Go Blues!!!

belletti is most likely to play leftback, probably the quickest defender we have available, does hit the sweet shot once in a while
alex is abit more adventurous and skilled going foward than Carvahlo so I think he is more likely to play rightback

I think Ancelotti is going to play mostly central midfielders, he will be looking for precise passing, careful attacks and range ability as we dont have aquick team available, he needs to ensure the ball moves at a rate we always keep up with whether attacking with it or defending. Can’t quite predict the formation but wing play most certainly is not our advantage tonight, neither is speed, technical prowess is all we have. Inter Milan are a good team, but their players are not necessarily what you would consider accomplished, winning nothing but league titles. Im starting to think we are going to play 4-3-2-1. Ancelotti will be wary of squandering chances, he knows how inter play, he has experience about him. Our players know Mourinho. Hopefully we’ll have Zhirkov and Bosingwa for the next leg anyway. I have faith that the pedigree and quality of our players will shine through.

Julio Cesar is available although suffering bruising to his face.

I am just worried about the depleted defence but i get a feeling and confidence that we wouldn’t lose badly (not more than a 1 goal) at Inter, that is if we at all lose. And if we can win by a huge margin at home, then the matter is all closed. I pray that Chelsea will play well, especially the back four!

I am sorry for being dormant in here, i was away on a holiday (Saturday – Tuesday).

CHEERS!
