Two of Chelsea's greatest warriors...titans...legends.... go head to head tonight in a battle of supremacy never before seen on this earth.
The world will watch with baited breath as these two astronomical powerhouses collide with the force of a thousand suns.
Titanium Terry vs Devastator Drogba in the epic battle of the 21st century,
Who will rise and be victorious in .... "The battle of Istanbul"

Johner

I'd take a score draw.

No mention of the magician? The master? The cog of the team? His dribbling, passing, shooting will be a threat all game

Mourinho must have a special plan to stop Eboué

Nuri Sahin

Galatasary XI: Muslera, Eboue, Chedjou, Hakan Balta, Alex Telles, Selçuk, Melo, Burak, Sneijder, Hajrovic, Didier Drogba

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Lampard, Willian, Schurrle, Hazard, Torres

Panthro

Pretty Good team..


And Torres.

You can't plan for a player of that calibre, you just hope and pray that he has an off night.

Fingers crossed.

Torres only needs 46 goals in his next match to equal his record with LFC.

LFC (65 goals /102 games)
CFC (19 goals /101 games)

Tonight's the night ...

Trepidation is how I approach tonight's fixtures. Not one English team has covered themselves in glory so far in the Champions League knock-out stages. Granted, Galatasaray are not Bayern or Barca, but neither are they Olympiakos. They are a very good side, and that home stadium is a cauldron of hatred and vitriol that will make it very, very difficult for Chelsea to settle.

It truly could swing either way. Without an in-form striker, Chelsea will not put them to the sword. Chelsea have the better, classier players, but nothing's for sure.

I can't even predict a scoreline here, as it is very open to so many variables. I'm hoping for an away goal or two to bring back to the Bridge, but even a loss isn't the end of the world, provided Chelsea score an away goal or two.

Bragging rights for being the only English team to win would be cool. Hell, being the only English team to score is worth something...

Johner

Happy with that team.

Just want an away goal tonight, even if we lose 2-1, 3-1.

Good team, Oscar needed a rest so great to see Schurrle in from the start.
Slight bit concerned about Lamps and Rambo together in central midfield - might leave us exposed on counter attacks.
Come on Chelsea - I'd say 2-1 Chelsea tonight.

brevity

Drogba to score, Chelsea to win.

Panthro

willain

Nuri Sahin

Muslera.. yeaaah.

Panthro

torres as tame as a kitten

LightningBlue

Great team goal, Lovely through ball by Schurrle. Galatasaray have been woeful so far.

Yep. One in the bag already. We'll probably settle for a hat trick tonight.

GavRedKing

Our line is waaaaay to high

DazMarz

Delighted for Nando! Cracking goal, and a crucial away goal.

Great build-up play, delighted to score so early too.

Panthro

Schuurle is fond of the floor.
Stop shooting Willian

wotzgoingon

Come on Galatasary, you can do it.

DazMarz

Yeah, the line is way, way too high. One think about Galatasaray is that their defence is shaky at the best of times, but their attack is pretty lethal... way too high a line at the moment. Not liking it.

GavRedKing

Also on Torres....how many trophies does he need to win to equal his Liverpool record?

:pac:

hullaballoo

Torres did look a bit stumped for that last shot.

weiland79

Get up Drogba
Damn that feels dirty in my mouth!

Willian is a phenomenal tackler for an attacking midfielder.
