And about Shakhtar - they are a good team. This won't be easy at all. They have good fullbacks (Rat and mainly Srna), and a core of young offensive Brazilian players.

The thing is - most of these Brazilians, who I know well, are overrated or simply not that good.

Ilsinho - RW - shitty offensive right winger, probably is not playing right now and is always injured;

Alan Patrick - AMC - slow, careless, poor decision making, not a big deal

Luiz Adriano - CF - this guy is limited. Not intelligent, he's just strong and can score sometimes. Loses a lot of goals too. Not to be afraid of him

Eduardo - CF/Winger - this guy had great talent. But after that horrible injury at Arsenal he's just not the same anymore. He's slower now and less precise.

Dentinho - Winger/forward - this kid played for Corinthians. Decent, can be good sometimes, does some tricks, but not a great player. Far from that.

Douglas Costa - Winger - very very overrated. Is quick, can dribble and do tricks, but that's all. Poor decision making, doesn't score a lot of goals, doesn't pass or finish well.

Wllian - Winger - Very overrated as well. I mean, they just refused a 30M offer from Tottenham. That's crazy. Unless he drastically developed his game, he's just an improved Douglas Costa, but basically with the same characteristics. Maybe he's just quicker and dribbles better. Can be dangerous, but is very limited also in decision making, passing, shooting.

Fernandinho - Good player. But not great. Used to be an AM or even a forward, but I think now he's playing as a CM. Poor marking, but good vision, finishing and intelligence. He's good, but not special.


So, this is a good team, these Brazilians are skilled but don't have good basic technique - passing, shooting, and poor decision making. But they are all quick, can dribble and have flair. Juventus is better, but it's not going to be easy, mainly with our problems when it comes to finishing. The good thing is that it's an offensive team, so they play and let you play.

Good group. I fully expect us to qualify.

7 points from the Chelsea and Shakhtar games and I think we should be fine.

Interested to see what our great Serie A defense does in Europe finally, there's some good players here.

Might considering going to Londen, not that far for me with a train. Tickets for the visitors is mission impossible, but do you guys think the game will be sold out at the Chelsea seats?
Any chance of getting 2 tickets?

Terrible schedule. We start with the hardest game and we have Ukrainians in December, which means the worst possible conditions for southern europeans. No luck.

I think we can do it. Or at least get more points out of the 2 legs.

Agreed. Like the group, but don't like the schedule.

If we don't get anything from the first match, there will be a lot of pressure against Shakhtar in Turin.
