Yeah I know about all the free options, just exploring paid ones because I dont want any chance of having issues or uncertainty for tonight.

Rarely any issues with the Sopcast streams mate, just connect early. I understand your comcern though.

I'm watching it live. Barely HD though with my old eyes

 

[Völler]

Just saw this

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Dis is gonna be the easiest away game in the current season

 

[Nzoric]

 

[Albo]

I read Vucinic is out

 

[Nicholas]

Yeah.

SKY are saying this:

Buffon

Lucio-Bonucci-Chiellini

Isla-Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio-De Ceglie

Matri-Giovinco



Vucinic won't even make the bench and Barzagli will be rested.

 

[K.O.]

As much as Isla deserves to play, Caceres should be given a starting role. I'd put him in there instead of Lucio.

 

[Nicholas]

Didn't Lucio play behind Isla against Chievo also?

Tuttosport also reporting Mirko is out

 

[Powis]

What about Caceres in the position of De Ceglie?

 

[Völler]

Btw, we are officially playing in our home jerseys tonight. FCN is playing in red.

 

[RAMI-N]

Tuttosport also reporting Mirko is out

Shit

 

[Hust]

THE CHAMPIOOOOOOOOOONS

You're at the game, right? Have fun!

Take solace that I won't be watching the game today so whatever happens it isn't my fault!

 

[Red]

Does anyone know what sort of football Nordsjaelland play?

Are they physical as one would normally expect a Scandinavian team to be?

Are they likely to actually try and play Juve or will they just be sitting deep and trying to hit on the break?

Didn't Lucio play behind Isla against Chievo also?

Yup.

Wonder if they've improved their understanding since then.

People shouldn't underestimate FC Nordsjælland. Their passing game is great - they are basically following the Barca philosophy. Short passes all the time - also on goalkicks. They are trying to have a lot of possession so I wouldn't expect more than 55% possession to be honest.

Nordsjælland is a young and inexperienced team though. You should look for Okore, a 20 year old CB. He's a big talent and is going to be sold to a big club soon. Anyway, they weren't really that close to scoring against Chelsea - they probably had 1 chance. It's going to surprise me if they score a goal against us, so if we manage to score two goals, it's game over for them. One goal is probably enough as well. They don't really have a plan B.

The thing about the Nordsjælland - Chelsea game is that Nordsjælland basically was the best team in the first half. Chelsea was effective and managed to score a goal in the first half, but Nordsjælland played the best football even if they didn't get to a lot of chances (and that is also going to be their problem against us). In the beginning of the second half they were close to making it 1-1, but they didn't have the necessary sharpness. Basically their attack is their weakest part against a team like us. They really don't have a classical big forward. However, because FC Nordsjælland play the way they do - with a lot of short passes and a lot of movement (they were the team who ran most of all the 32 teams in the last CL round), and because they aren't used to play against teams from stronger leagues, the team was completely exhausted in the last 15 minutes. Chelsea managed to score 3 goals in the last 15 minutes, and I suspect that the last 15 minutes could be crucial tomorrow - at least if we want to win with more than one goal.

To sum it up: They're not physical and they're going to play their own game which involves a lot of possession.

Thanks, haven't really been keeping a close eye on this thread.

I'd say them going out and trying to really take Juve on suits Juve more than them just sitting deep the whole game and focusing on denying Juve space in the final third.

I agree. At least it's going to be a lot easier for us to score. But their passing game is excellent - think Swansea. I think it's going to be hard for us to score the first 20-30 minutes.

Mr President (I'll upload some photos and videos tomorrow)

Nice!

No Vucinic, fek! Anyhoo hope Lucio will play like his last showing, that was goood

 

[Gian]

Without Vucinic we're screwed.

 

[RAVANELLI]

Without Vucinic we're screwed.
