West Sydney? I may run into him

Well any player that has some level of pedigree in Europe will help our league improve. The A league is still in its infancy stages and not even 10 years old. It would be awesome to see Ballack in Australia

2 points dropped as far as I'm concerned. Allowed their midfield too much space. The team's lack of pressing (in what should be an obvious situation to press in) is mind boggling. We can't lose in the return match at Turin. Oscar was great. That second goal (especially his first touch) was the stuff of a genius and one of the most beautiful and pure goals you'll ever see. To think that was a goal from a 21 year old kid making his Champions League debut. The formation change was a good tactic by RDM. His decision to exclude Mata was questionable but paid off big time. Plus Mata got even more rest, so that's another positive. Hazard was quiet. Although the link up with Mata when he came on looked encouraging. All in all, a tad disappointing. We need to play a lot better in Turin.

Some good info on the way Juve play http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-vs-juventus-champions-league-1329906 Skip to the 'How will they play against Chelsea' part.

Well I think it's a bit more defensive then say a 4-3-3 or even a 4-2-3-1. It makes us even more narrow as well and the likes of Marin and Moses will struggle to get a game in that formation.

I don't think that's a great formation to be playing every week.

Yes, I'd say dropping one more body into midfield would be a wise and sensible choice. Whether it be the christmas tree or (what I think would trouble Juventus more) the 4-3-3 formation.

I find it a bit amusing but I shouldn't lol.

Heskey and wait for it....Ballack to the A-League? Awesooooome~~

Cole is the best LB in the world. Marcelo is very good though.

If what Shulz said is true then I feel confident. We are pretty good at defending wide players. I mean, the left side will be locked down by the best LB in the world, Cole. Ivanovic is usally solid at RB too.

This picture just screams 70's Porn Star

I'm totally digging those Yellow kits Mikel and Robbie are wearing.

Did RDM have a press conference or something yet? Good to hear but we still need to destroy his plays. How would your team do if Pirlo has a poor game? Are Vidal and Marchisio creative enough?

If I turn on the television and see the team sheet with Ramires and Bertrand on the wings, I'll die a little inside.

I'd rather be confident as opposed to buying into this this 'it's the end of the world, Juventus are the greatest side ever, we are no better than a relegation team and will get destroyed" pessimistic bullshit.

What do you mean? What he stated is actually factual. You did get caught for Matchfixing and you did get relegated...

Whoever they start, it doesn't really matter. Our defense should be able to keep them in their back pocket. They don't have much threat. Its their midfield we should worry about.

Something I'm noticing too. I try not to but they get on my nerves. Juventus fans seem to have such a sense of entitlement, delusional arrogance and self assurance.

Fair enough, we'll see. We are favourites for more reasons than just being the home team.

These Juve fans are soooo annoying. Us > You

I'm sorry (not really) if the truth hurts you.

Keep defeat in your mind.

Its not like you have any good strikers.......

I loved the Orange ones as Orange is my favourite colour but hey, to each his own.
