Closed Chelsea vs Juventus

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yeah i know what you mean being positive/optimistic and being confident is different from being unrealistic. You need to support the club that you are a fan of and thats the most important thing imo.

I thought people had learned a lesson from last year and that is : ''Never write Chelsea off''. We won the UCL and we aren't the ones who are the underdogs we are the ones that are feared so i hope fans show some more confidence in their club.

I guess we are trying to be realistic!

There's no point in saying we will win 10-0 as that's unlikely.

What's more likely is a cagey game, where I expect us to win.

I'm not going to shout about, just be British - quietly optimistic.

As for the member of the month thing (I must say I thought it was originally a double-entendre) - l don't think people are doing that? Really? Shocked if true

you don't know nothing about Juve, otherwise you couldn't talk in this way...Juve is the football story in Italy e beyond...is the most loved and hated team in Italy

It is just my opinion mate. I don't love Juve but you do so yeh.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

The lack of optimism isnt wierd because of some choices RDM has made recently. I am sure he will go for an ultra defensive team and it will pretty much be a boring game and if he choses the team I think he will chose, we will most certainly lose.

no problem friend, you guessed...

you don't know nothing about Juve

And you know nothing about Chelsea...

I did not guess i have been watching the Serie A for a long time. Answer this question : Have you ever faced a club like Chelsea since Conte joined?

The answer is probably ''No''. And this Juventus side do not have the UCL experience like Chelsea does. Oh yeh people say we are concerned about their midfield but what about our wingers? They have 3 defenders and 2 slow ones aswell. We can hit them hard on the counter attack with the pace that Hazard,Moses and Mata have(maybe even Ramires from CM). Imagine Hazard vs Barzagli, i know Barzagli is a quality defender but he does not have the pace to deal with Eden. And what about Bonucci vs Torres? They have already faced eachother in the Euro final and we saw how that played out.

Our defenders aren't slow, they aren't lightning but they aren't slow either.

you are right for most of your thinking, but...our 3-men defensive line is supported by midfield, Chiellini supports other central players with his speed, Bonucci, is true, is not a champ and is our weakness but is not so weak. Finally, it's true that we missed ECL from 3 years but ours player are all components of National Teams. They are quite experienced players.

Thats why i mentioned the counter. Your midfield is upfront when they are attacking and our wingers can counter attack when someone intercepts.

Our defenders aren't slow, they aren't lightning but they aren't slow either.

Chiellini is the pacy one. But Barzagli and Bonucci are not slow but if you compare them to Hazard or Moses they are

[Strike 7,489]

we win this and the group looks much easier to tackle

Which is why we need to take the initiative and the game to Juve. Put them under the Pump and go out to win.

[Steve 10,227]

If we have a nice balance of defence and attack we can win this but we need to be very careful of them counter attacking us.

We may be the ones predominantly counter attacking, depending on RDM's ability to muster up some courage regarding the lineup.

The CL trophy to be paraded in the stadium before the game. :blue scalf:

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2922374/title/arrive-in-time-for-champions-league-trophy-parade

Before we begin our defence of the Champions League tomorrow (Wednesday) against Juventus, the trophy won on May 19 in Munich will be paraded around the Stamford Bridge pitch.

This will be the first occasion the Champions League trophy is shown to supporters inside the stadium and the parade will take place immediately after the players have finished their warm-up, which will be at approximately 7.30pm.

Performing the task will be six members of the armed forces: Warrant Officer (Squadron Sergeant Major) Michael Sturgeon and Sergeant Adam Grant from the 101 Engineers Regiment; Sergeant John David Legland and Sergeant Martin Philip Robinson from the RAF; and Warrant Officer Tony Matthews and Leading Seaman Antony Peacock from the Navy.

Also prior to kick-off, 20 members of the Chelsea FC Girls' Centre of Excellence will join the match mascots in leading the players out of the tunnel. They will represent the Under 9s, Under 11s and Under 13s age groups.

Last season was very successful for the Centre of Excellence. The Under 17s won the inaugural FA Girls' Youth Cup and also clinched the London and South-East Girls' Centre of Excellence League title.
