If we were capable of smashing Messi FC with a depleted team you guys have every chance
No. Give the kids a run out. Cho, James, Tomori, Tammy and Mount should all start.
T L L L, I don't see anything wrong with that,but it's the older guys at the back I'm worried about !
Go for it, there were some remarkable comebacks last season.
Realistically not a prayer. Bayern are huge favourites to win the CL and frankly they destroyed us in the first leg. We are as dependent on Pulisic as we're on Hazard and Pulisic us out.
We simply won't get bear them
play like bears and maul them then

Exactly. That's all this game should be seen as, a chance to give our youth some valuable experience against possibly the best side in Europe this season.
It will be interesting to see the team Frank puts out,and the system they will play .
There is only one way to play this. Fast and furious. Get at them right from the start. Bayern will be happy to play it out with slow controlled possession. An early Chelsea goal will unsettle Bayern. Let loose the dogs of war! Got to go for the juggler and kick his balls into the net (and then another two. )
Good luck
You could always ask Ole if you could borrow Man Utd's 1999 European Cup winning strip. Might give Bayern nightmares.
No.
Tbf if they are very ring rusty then possibly..very slight chance , though I suspect if they anywhere Near half turn up they’ll win fairly easily.
No real chance, but it would be nice to get an early first goal just to give us a glimmer of hope.
Realistically we'll do well to keep it to less than the first leg. That said, I really hope CHO has a good game. I had so much hope for him before this season and I've been a bit underwhelmed... he's still young but he never really recovered from his injury when he came back. I could do with seeing a bit more from Reece as well... I wish he was a bit more adventurous at times
Well,, a great man once said 'Football. Bloody Hell!...'
anything's possible.
although I'm gonna say 2-2 3-2 Bayern
My mate who lives in Berlin, and supports Hertha sent me this anti Bayern song they like to sing on the rare occasions the hated team loses...
Im not posting it because its catchy...but just in case tonight....the OP's dream comes true..
We won't qualify but we will win 2-3.

wham bamm thank you maam football
Is Pulisic definitely out ?
Yep definitely capable of getting a result, provided Kante is fit enough and we are ruthless.
If Frank is going to deploy back three system against Bayern again...
Tomori on the right of the defence is a must (knows Davies well from their time playing with Canada) and obviously the notable pace advantage over Azpi, toe to toe with Davies.
Hudson-Odoi starting on the right vs Davies will be a titanic battle.
I'd back Hudson-Odoi to have the measure of him in a 1 on 1 situation.
Right-side of Tomori, James and Hudson-Odoi...no way Davies is having a free rein down that side.
Mount got behind Davies a few times but didn't have the pace to capitalise on the chances and doesn't have the same connection with James, as Hudson-Odoi.
Without Callum to complement his play, limiting factor in RJ's performance at wingback.
Have to get the overloads working, that will cause Bayern untold problems.
Mount's intelligent movement between the lines in the half-spaces and Tammy providing the movements behind (Bayern's highline) will also be key, so I hope he starts.
Kovacic replicating the performance from the first leg, wouldn't go a miss either. Top-class level performance
mf ,it's not Davis I'm worried about to tell the truth,it's that big C/F with the Polish name getting amongst our defenders ,thats the problem !
Doubt it. We’ve already seen Chelsea’s defence up against their attack.

One has to cut the supply, which comes from the likes of Davies, Muller, Gnabry to nullify Lewandowski.
One of the main reasons I pray Kante is fit, can't do it alone though...against their quality, but he'll be massive in cutting the supply line.
Jorginho was a passenger in the first leg, much too easy to bypass and makes runs off
Does anyone know the team yet ?
Expected lineup:
Caballero
James Christensen Zouma Emerson
Kovacic Kante Loftus-Cheek
Hudson-Odoi Tammy Mount
Strong.
