Janne HI think AVB will draw this kind of formation against Valencia. This was strong XI against Newcastle and i think we were comfortable all the way. Valencia will use fast counterattacks against us and we will need strong backline. Terry, Luiz, Cole and Ivanovic are definetly our best defensive line at the moment.

nvrSemi-related question: Is CL success still a "must-have" for Abromovich this season? Will he fire AVB if the result goes against Chelsea at this game?

Janne H@nvr i think roman wont sack avb but i also believe we go to next round. In this xi i forgot the arrows, if u look my newcastle xi the movement is the same and like we saw against newcastle, mata and sturridge worked very deep in our defensivezone and i think that helped our defenders alot. We had too mutch pace between mids and defs but against newcastle it was not a problem anymore cause mata n stur worked hard...also lamps n ramirez did so and we sudenly played like we have played for years...defended with our all players. I think Avb found solution in our problems.
