Sounds like something we can do, the whole attacking part. Just make Vidal put pressure and haunt some of their midfielders and they'll just give up.

They're former teammates, well Hazard was a youth player back when Licht was in Lille, but i'm pretty sure he nutmegged him in training still.

How do you think we will fare against Chelsea Fred?

I think it will be a very even contest actually. You guys have the advantage of being the more consistent team, and having the stronger midfield. Chelsea on the other hand have more pace and variety in their attacking game.

Chelsea have been blowing hot and cold this season, and they seem to have lost that big game edge they used to have in the past few seasons. Adding all these talented youngsters and renewing the team will be beneficial for them in the long run though. This new Juventus team on the other hand is yet to be tested in Europe. So its hard to call.

Certainly will be a very interesting game, its a complete 50-50 in my eyes.

IMO we have a massive advantage in MF which should see us dominating possession maybe 60%-55%. I think the biggest problem for us will be stopping them scoring against us.

 

[Fred]

I'm bored.

If you guys were to make an XI consisting of the two team's players. How would it look like?

This is how my XI would look like:

--------------Buffon


Licht-----Terry-----Chiellini----Cashley


---------------Pirlo----------

-------Ramires----------Vidal


----Hazard-------------------Mata


---------------Torres

Marchisio fanboys, come at me.

 

[Salvo]

I think it will be even as well, ramires will have a big job IMO.

I think alot resides on how DM approaches this game. If he recognizes that you guys have the upper hand in midfield and bases his gameplan on that, they could try and play a more compact defensive game ala what they did against Barcelona and Bayern last season. If he tries and plays an expansive game, your midfield will destroy them.

Yes he will, he usually thrives in these big games where his job is mainly to have a tactical role as opposed to the games against weaker opposition where the onus is on his team to break the opposition down.

Yeah, I have a feeling they will park the bus. I also think counter attacking football is much more dangerous against us with the 3-5-2, especially with guys like Mata and Hazard coming at us. Unless they are counter attacking, I don't see them getting past our CMs&DMs.
