What's a good result on Tuesday ?

[Lee W]

I would take a 0-0 to be honest, the golden rule in Europe being a clean sheet in a 1st leg at home.

 

1-0 would be excellent, and would leave Grant no option but to go for it at their place.

 

It'll be tight, I reckon, probably dull, if recent history is any indicator. 1 away goal to either side, could be enough....

[Gunga Din]

any result with a clean sheet.

[psl]

I'd probably take any result that has a 0 by Chelsea's name.

[MFletcher]

any result with a clean sheet.

 

Spot on.

[Old red eyes]

5-0, so my heart escapes pressure for the second leg.

 

But i'd except a 1-0.

 

Personally think we'll win 2-0.

[Guest Snorky]

50-0 will just about ensure I'll get through the second leg without worrying.

[Lee W]

Personally think we'll win 2-0.

 

I will buy a bottle of Moet & Chandon for the M6 if that happens.

where you watching the 2nd leg

[stressederic]

2-0 would be an excellent result.

[New York Red]

2-0 to us. Bet on it.

[Swipe]

A win and a clean sheet would do loverly.

 

3-0!

[psl]

What worries me is how many players Chelsea have who score goals. Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Kalou, Cole, Ballack, Wright-Phillips, even Malouda. If one of them scores on Tuesday, things could get awkward.

 

They've not managed it in the Champions League before though.

don't know yet. any ideas ?

Don't forget we have the mighty Dirk Kuyt, who does have a handy knack of scoring in big games in Europe.

 

Drogba is doubtful and if unfit, I can't see Anelka prospering on his own up front. Cole and Lampard are the worries for me - the cockney c***s always seem to score against us, recently.

[Kuyt-fever]

Anything thats not them scoring two goals. I could live with 1-1 or 0-0 but if they score 2 we're f***ed.

[Coyler]

Clean sheet would be great but I'd say it'll be 2-1 to us.

[psl]

Just a slightly nervy second leg then?

[FakeNewsBear]

don't know yet. any ideas ?

ill be there

[Old red eyes]

Tomorrow. No beer. No grilled meat. No prunes. etc etc. I'll be s***ting myself enough come Tuesday.

[BG]

Fat Frank comfort eating, Hicks lynched.

[Guest Beano's Dad]

Clean sheet would be great but I'd say it'll be 2-1 to us.

 

I'd go along with that. With Torres getting the first goal. 40/1.

I still think 2-1 would be a good result. If you gave me that now (with them playing Mancs at the weekend) I'd take it.

 

We took 2-1 to Turin with an injury hit squad. We can do anything in this competition.

[growler]

ideal (realistic that is) would be 2-0, with an injury or sending off for anelka, cole or Terry (or all!)

 

realistic, I think it will be a 3-1 or 1-0, can't make up my mind

[DJS]

Crucial that we dont concede, especially given our woeful scoring record down there.

 

1-0 would be satisfactory. 2-0 would be superb.
