The cat is finished. We published Sunday took questions here to make the discussion easier to follow.

timrolls question:

Do you think the genuinelly Chelsea can go through this night? My heart says we can, my head is not so sure. I think we can score a couple, but I'm not sure to keep a clean sheet, especially if the Naples has to come to us - what do you think

Sunday Fifield replies:

Hi Tim

It is clearly a possibility, however slim. Chelsea's task is not as intimidating as that adopted by Arsenal last week. While ultimately this glorious end in failure, there is still incentive to draw from the fact that Milan was broken in the first half, and Naples could do the same. I would, however, that the precedent set last week in both directions: I think the team arrive protected Mazzarri support an uncomfortable night, and are strong enough in the country today. They also scored in seven games in the Champions League so far, and I suspect he will again tonight ..... suggesting that in fact there is no chance

But Chelsea has the expertise and experience of this contest -. Napoli's something missing - and try to beat the startup type is frantic against the back of Barcelona in 2009, how they got into another final. They must find the right balance between attack and defense, be wary of the ability of Naples at the break, and try to find something of cruelty from somewhere. There was a lot of waste in this season. But maybe tonight is the night that fits ....

Riri10 question:

Hello

Sunday

Do you know why

Oriol Romeu, did not seem a lot lately also the possibility to offer tonight?

Thank

Sunday Fifield replies:

Part of me wonders if Romeu fall victim to the curse "of guardian because he has hardly made since making our interview Saturday that some time ... He had a wound in the thigh for a while, and his absence has coincided with the return of Mikel and Essien, their own physical problems. I thought it was one of the most impressive of Chelsea during the first half of the season, very tidy in possession and metronomic in its distribution - though perhaps Villas-Boas was urgently looking for a little longer in that position now Di Matteo has entered what appears to promote deeper two media of land situated, with a stronger presence than Mikel, who left. Romeu waiting for his chance. was acquired as one for the future and showed flashes far enough to suggest that it may be a real asset to this team. I think the hope is now that it is not disturbed by the departure of the manager who signed him because if his game continues to grow, it will surely be a regular on this computer for some time to come.

jameswalsh issue:

What training do you think Chelsea will go tonight against Napoli and much disputed-attack feat?

Sunday Fifield replies:

Di Matteo seems to like the 4-2-3-1, so I guess that's how it will start. They can always change something more offensive if they are to hunt game, but it's all about balance score two goals needed, and avoid sending an order to outside. You will be also aware of the threat of Naples on the counter. This reputation, as they have one of the best the rest is well-founded, after all.

jameswalsh issue:

To what extent do you think about the aspect of "power struggles Chelsea player has been exaggerated, anyway?

Sunday Fifield replies:

exaggerate ... Well, maybe. John Terry has certainly been annoyed by suggestions and criticisms are not involved Szczesny and Scolari when he spoke during his press conference last night. But the reality is that this small group of top players represent the constant when it comes to Chelsea in recent seasons, campaigns often hampered by turbulence management. And as it became clear in public comments offered by the likes of Frank Lampard, there was frustration among those who had not played so often in Villas-Boas as they had done before. In the end - especially in the West Bromwich Albion - team seemed rather listless and disheveled, simply fueled the suspicion that many had lost faith in the director. When he came to "power of the player, as Terry suggested last night, the real influence of the elderly was lower than communicate directly with the owner, and more about his apparent reluctance to buy in the methods of Villas- Boas. Or, perhaps, the inability to buy what he wanted them. This is a subtler version of "player power manifests itself, and eventually forced the owner to act when it became clear that the team can not finish in the top four. Again, I think Terry involves both the night before.

I am sure that in the last best players have been sent directly to Abramovich and air their grievances. Villas-Boas, his displeasure was obvious and probably to ask that "direct action" ...

Gaiman issue:

Sunday, what do you think the future of Torres to Chelsea? With Drogba score and most likely tonight, do you generally will until the end of the season? The Roman influence is the only factor that there is a possibility that will not leave the club in the summer?

Sunday Fifield replies:

Villas-Boas had realized last summer that Chelsea could not afford another situation with Shevchenko Torres and, therefore, had initially sought to give the front of a platform on which to excel. This approach changed when Torres was out of the team of the suspension, then through a lack of form. But whoever takes over at Stamford Bridge in the summer will be exactly the same pressure that you put into it to find ways to rejuvenate the 50-million pounds. The job description more or less said: "a) Make sure that we win trophies, b) Ensure that we are still competing in the Champions League, c) Obtain score Torres (ah, d) Do not lose a game in the process or you had it ...) "

With this in mind, Torres should have a future at Chelsea. Is clear. And I would say that the time of Didier Drogba at the club is running now, although it is likely to figure in most games the biggest club in the rest of the current campaign. It is out of contract this summer and should move to China, and really I do not see Chelsea change their minds during the last months of the season and offered a new two-year contract to stay. Although it remains a threat. His departure, it is interesting, may actually serve to free up some Torres. Carlo Ancelotti, both suggested in an interview with the Italian media earlier this year. Maybe start to life. It feels as if Chelsea have tried almost everything else, so maybe worth going .....

Keysers0ze issue:

What training, staff development and you see the implementation of Napoli?

Sunday Fifield replies:

journalists during Napoli yesterday suggested the formation along the lines of this:

Napoli (3-4-2-1). De Sanctis, Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Aronica, Maggio, Inler, Gargano, Zuniga, Hamsik, Lavezzi, Cavani

Cavani and Mazzarri was placed at the press conference, and both emphasized the need to consider the link, located at 0-0 instead of 3-1 with Napoli above. I suggest that they enjoy taking a little pressure and pressing Chelsea at halftime, the confidence of knowing that guests are not the solid defensive team that used to be. Mazzarri said he wanted his team to "play like 11 lions" when they do not have the ball. This, of course, do not steal, John Terry, in the press conference ...

MZorin issue:

Sunday

Is it inappropriate for JT miraculously recovered from his injury almost immediately after BAV was captured will be out for a good couple of weeks?

certainly desirable in the season as Chelsea looked to be in reverse and back it desperately needs to provide an appearance of solidity. What else could be, which means ......? I had the impression that Terry was actually generally supportive of Villas-Boas, during his time at the club, especially because the manager has argued publicly about his impending trial and the issue of England captaincy. And because Terry was usually on the computer and you still get the games. However, even when Terry went under the knife sounds pessimistic "about six weeks" from the club, he always felt he would be back for the return match against Napoli.
