James 5,343 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi all I'm from naples, congrats for the forum, it's really awesome. That's with no doubt the greatest match of the season for my beloved Napoli, so we will fight to death to win this game; you have a lot of chances to pass the turn, but there will be over 60k napoli's supporters this Tuesday, so probably to face the San Paolo's hell won't be as simple.Sorry for my bad english Are you going to the game?

91design 6 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Are you going to the game?unfortunately here find a tiket for the match is like to win the lottery... for example i had to wait 5 hours at stadium's box offices before to buy the tiket for napoli-bayern monaco to see the match in Curva A. This time i had no fortune at all We are about 20 years late in terms of ticket reselling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujo101 75 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 2 - 0 Napoli - unless the senior players decide it's time to step up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Won't be surprised if we get battered like Arsenal.Although would be really surprised if we managed to thrash them but then again I am realist and not an optimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Have to score, away goals and all that shit. Sadly, that's one thing we just can't do atm. Along with defending set pieces, closing down, keeping the ball, working spaces ... sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I would be rather pleased with a 6-5 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Napoli must be thinking they're playing Derby County instead of Chelsea on Tuesday or heck, they would still beat us even with their reserves on Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 As JT is probably out of this game, I guess we'll see one of the following defenses:Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - ColeOrBosingwa - ivanovic - Luiz - coleHope it will be the first one. Don't even want to imagine how Bosingwa will deal with Napoli's counters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even want to imagine how Bosingwa will deal with Napoli's countersWhile I do agree with the comment regarding Bosingwa, I'm not sure about throwing Cahill straight into a Champions League game of this magnitude. He's only played in Europe for like 3-4 games and that was about 4 years ago I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Very scary game, not looking forward to this game at all.I just hope we don't get dominated a 2-1 loss, i'll be okay with it (well i say that but of course i'll still go angry if we lose either way, but still i'd much prefer not getting dominated).Getting domianted would be a nightmare, 3-0 loss or higher would be horrible, conceding 2 goals actually wont be that bad, especially if we score one.This is the game AVB has to prove himself, that he's a manager who can run a top club, a manager who can sort the team out even in the worst of situations, and motivate them and pull something out tactic wise. Because we need to change something now, we keep playing the way we have in the past 2 months we will lose this game about 5-0, AVB must prove himself to the fans and the players, and most possibly the board.

Blue Armour 4,474 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Napoli head into the home leg of the knockout fixture on the back of a convincing 3-0 victory at Fiorentina, but Mazzarri remained coy about his side's chances against Chelsea after the game."I do not agree that Napoli are favourites," the 50-year-old told Sky Sport Italia. "Chelsea want to do well in the Champions League and they have players who are accustomed to matches like these."It will be a terrible test, in order to pass it we must do something extraordinary."The Italian coach played down Chelsea's four-game winless streak as well as reports suggesting that manager Andre Villas-Boas has a fractious relationship with his squad."Even if there were problems, all it takes to reassemble a group is one match," Mazzarri insisted. "Every player wants to do well in Europe, champions and great players can make the difference at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not sure where this conception of Napoli being as good as Bayern Munich or Real Madrid came from. They're beatable, just like Valencia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr.breu 1,618 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I don't understand all those pessimistic tips. We're a better team than Napoli and I'm sure we'll proceed to the next round... I can't wait for this match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 This will be a incredibly though match I think. Napoli have a great big game mentality, they always manage to reach a very high level in big games while we've been vulnerable in most big games. Like TX said before, the best thing would be to let them have the ball. If we take initiative, we'll just play right into their hands and they'll murder us on the break, especially with our shaky defence.Hopefully the coach will go with the 4-2-3-1 formation.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think a 4-4-2 formation is best suited against Napoli and their 5man midfield. Quick counters will be the key to winning this fight and with that in mind I hope the formation will be:--------------Cech---------------Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole/BertrandRamires Romeu Lampard Mata-------Sturridge Drogba ----------Possibly Essien+mikel even instead of romeu/lampard. But perhaps that switch should be made if we're in a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicrico 175 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 3-0 Nap - another dreadful performance edit: i don't think we will score because we don't have a CF who can finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
