    As with everyone else I am not at all confident. Our away form has been rubbish but my only thought is its not too bad when we are playing decent teams. Not that I think we will win but feel we wont get hammered. If we score I think that will be enough. Again no idea on the team or formation but think he will try and surprise them and I have sneaky feeling he will go with the same 11 as the first leg. I would personally go with Miki and Iwobi behind laca and then Ramsey Tor and Xhaka. the same back five as last week except Kosh for monreal.

    Wait what?Kos and monreal both started last week,Mustafi was dropped.

    I think we must not make the mistake that many teams make in the second leg when they are in with a comfortable lead in the first leg.That is try to defend,espescially for a team that certainly dosen’t know how to.I think Emery will put out the same team as last week.

    However,this will be different as Napoli will almost certainly keep more posession so we’ll need players who can press well and hit on the counter.

    My team (5-3-2) Cech,Jenkinson,Kos,Sokratis,Monreal,kolasinac,Torreira,Xhaka,Ramsey,
    Laca and Auba up front.

    Yeah,I know jenkinson won’y start and AMN probably will,for what reason I’ll never know why.

    Great result really professional performance. I thought they were really poor again and this was the same team that beat Liverpool. Don’t think it was just them playing badly I think we made them look poor. Emery sussed them and they had no answer. Our forwards still look a bit blunt even the goal was really poor keeping and we missed another sitter but will take that as I hope they will turn up for the rest of the season. Pray Ramsey is not to bad. Another clean sheet and an away win!!!On to the the next one.

    Brilliant result.Ok performance we defended immaculately but still they had twice as many attempts as us but were incredibly inefficient.No one would’ve expected us to keep a clean sheet in both the legs.

    I thought that was the best defensive performance we’ve seen under emery,with every single one of our back 5 giving in a perfect performance.

    Lacazette is actually such a good striker,he has so many attributes.

    I just found out we are going to play the CL semi final first leg at home yet again and second leg away with chelsea playing away first and home second.Playing at home is definitely much more of an advantage in the second leg.Can anyone explain to me what kind of shitthousery is this.Why is this happening.

    Chelsea could’ve have gotten a clearer and easier path to the final.Looks like UEFA really want them to win something this season.

    I dont think its Uefa that decides that as I think it was between the clubs last time, then again I could be wrong.

    Frankfurt are no pushovers as they are are a really good side so it wont be easy for Chelsea.

    As for the game I have not really seen us make a game with that kind of confidence for a while. I thought we would struggle and loose but I was clearly wrong and happy that I was.

    As far as I remember,our tie against Napoli we were actually drawn to play away in the first leg and second leg at home but it got reversed because Chelsea were also given a similar type of situation.However,since they have a higher UEFA ranking they were given the benefit.And two London clubs can’t play at HOME on the same night or something like that.I don’t know why it’s happening for the second time in a row.
    It’s not justified.
    Also,Frankfurt are a good team yes,but they can be exposed i think chelsea will comfortably beat them.I’d rather Chelsea have played Benfica.Either how,their route in the EL this season couldn’t have been easier.
