I think if John Terry plays the 2 legs, you lose...

Chelsea playing a high line against Hamsik, Lavezzi and Cavani with no pace there to recover if things go wrong as they did against Arsenal is going to be interesting against one of the best counter attacking teams in Europe. John Terry has been pretty terrible against pace and movement this season, he can still put a great tackle in as he did against Morison at SB but he should have never been in that position in the first place, if we had a quicker striker you would have lost that game.

Man City game for you boys was a great chance of a win, that's why I backed Chelsea when you went 1-0 down as you could revert to type and not expect to try dominate the ball and try and catch Man City out with the pace of Strurridge, which created the equaliser. After that the game was a bit more evenly balanced and once Clichy was sent off you played perfectly against 10 men as it has been mentioned many times.

Napoli have a reputation in the past year or so of turning up for big games, but really it's just a case of the bigger clubs play into their hands by dominating the ball, Napoli can defend well in numbers and then break at great speed which has seen them win v Man City, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus all in the past year.
