He'll be there at the biggest game of the season (at least until the next biggest game of the season) and columnist Pat Nevin is expecting to see a whole team standing up and being counted.

Hopefully the match against Inter Milan is just the first of a number of games that you can honestly call the most important game of the season so far. As a player every single game has to be focused on, but it is usually pretty clear when the truly pivotal moments come along. Happily Chelsea have got more than a few of those 'big game' players that everyone goes on about, just the type we will need for this one.

By big game player you mean someone who, without actually saving his best for certain appearances, tends to come up with the goods when it matters. Didier obviously seemed to warm up nicely with his double at the weekend and he clearly is one of those men. He is however one of many on the books. When Chelsea really needed something on Saturday, it was John Terry charging forward in the second half that started the ball rolling in confirming another three invaluable points…another big moment and another big game player.

In a dressing room you want to look around and see how many others want to go out and influence a game in a positive way when the stakes are at their highest. Remember if you make a mistake on those occasions that is also what some people remember you for. When JT walked up to take the penalty in Moscow and missed, I couldn't think at all negatively of him, even in that moment. He had the bottle to take on the responsibility, you always want that type in your team because in the end they will succeed far more often than they fail.

That is the thing about these pressure situations, you need brave men and I don't mean those willing to go into 50-50 tackles with big, hairy centre halves. I mean those who want the ball all the time and want put themselves in the firing line. The thing I hated most about any team mate was when the pressure was on, if he didn't make himself available for a pass. Odd though it may seem it does happen even with professional players. They don't want to be remembered forever as the guy who missed the chance, who gave the ball away that led to the goal that lost the game or even the competition.

Ask people what their enduring memory of Chris Waddle is and they will say the England penalty miss, conveniently forgetting all the great skills, goals and work of a fabulous career. Some people still think of Gareth Southgate in the same way and even Stuart Pearce for a while got lumped into that category. Even so you have to be brave enough to stand at the front and lead, Pearce put those thoughts out of most people's minds with his attitude thereafter. If you fear failure too much you will never be great in football and looking through the Chelsea side there are precious few who are like that in any way.

That is why Chelsea have a great chance in this one and Jose Mourinho knows it. I wonder if he will be brave enough to believe in his current charges as much as he did in JT, Frank, Ricardo and Didier? I hope he doesn't and decides to park the bus on this occasion. If Inter sit back I am convinced not only will we get the chances, we have the big game players who are brave enough to get on the end of them. If they miss and we don't win through this time, as long as there is the usual effort, attitude and bravery, I will still be proud of them.

One area that has been suggested as a weakness is obviously in the Chelsea goal with the injuries there. Strangely in football if a new-ish keeper is between the sticks it often has the effect of galvanising the defenders in front of him. There is an added concentration to make sure as little as possible gets through to trouble him. Sometimes that means the defence naturally pushing up the park an extra ten yards or just attacking every cross into their own box with just that little extra bit of added vigour. So with any luck it will not be an issue on the night.

It was also interesting listening to Jose in the build up to the first leg. When asked if he had an advantage in that he knew so much about the Chelsea players strengths and weaknesses, he didn't do his usual and pile on as much pressure as he could. Instead he deflected it by saying maybe they had an advantage knowing so much about him. In reality his knowledge of the players' technical capabilities is definitely an aid to him, but I suspect that he is keenly aware through his knowledge of the boys in blue that it is their mental strengths under pressure, that actually puts his own team at a disadvantage in this one.

This one could be won in the players heads' just as much as it will be won on their abilities on the field.

Last week I asked which Chelsea player would be most likely to say this phrase to John Terry?'Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim'meaning roughly 'Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you'Well it wasn't Italian so that ruled out Ancelotti as some of you thought. In fact it is a Latin phrase as most of you spotted and most of you also connected that with Frank Lampard because of his A* GCSE in Latin - which kind of makes my 'O' level in the subject look a bit inadequate. I do have to agree with many of you however who thought it unlikely that Frank would have said it in the original language to JT.

So from the biggest entry to any of my competitions to date, the winner randomly chosen by my glamorous little assistant (who looks as though she will actually be taller than me by the end of the year, hence me using 'little' now ) was Nicola Roberts from St Albans. Well done and the prize will be on its way soon.

This week to win a copy of a Super Frank Lampard DVD, who was the last team to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a European game? Answers as ever to pat.nevin@chelseafc.com

Good luck with that and to the team in this one, I will be at the game co-commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live and making absolutely no effort whatsoever to be unbiased. Oh yeah, I am also looking forward to meeting some of you who are popping down to my DJ stint in London at the weekend, let's hope it is another excuse to have a celebration of European glory.
