Nando predicts Chelsea downfall
Moro has backed Rafa to repeat his tactical success over Chelsea. He was cup-tied last season and has been injured recently but should be fit to play now. He had this to say regarding the Chelsea and the Champions League group:
"We've got them sussed. If I was a betting man I'd tip us and Real Betis to go through - and not Chelsea."
But he added: "We were accused of being lucky in the semi-final.
"Yet Chelsea did not score in either leg and that tells you a lot about the good work done by Rafa Benitez. It was a perfectly-planned match.
"We have a great chance of beating them again - not because we are European champions but because we know how to play Chelsea."
We all hope you are right Nando.

When opposition players say these type of things i love it cause it seems to add more incentive to LFC to win. So nando saying this, for me, just adds to their 'revenge mission' (although how beating us on wednesday night can compare to a semi final win is beyond me). I wish players would just let their talking occur on the pitch!
I think it works both ways. It also proves our players are confident and have the required belief.
How do we feel about Nando coming back for this match? It's mixed emotions for me - on one hand his CL record is amazing, and it's good to have more options for Rafa up front. But starting Mori in a 4-5-1 just after he gets back from injury would be a huge risk. I reckon he'll come on as a sub, but then again, do we really want to start with just Lurch??
I hope rafa springs one of his trademark tactical surprises - and plays Cisse and Crouch up front in an honest-to-God attacking 4-4-2, with Nando coming on after an hour or so if we're in trouble.
Nando should not be concerned about Chelsea and should focus on his own form. He is yet to prove himself and show his true class.
