Jase 43,479 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 An absolute must win game this. Feel our qualification for the KO largely hinges on this game. Do not want to head to Turin on Matchday 5 needing a win. Fail to win this and we'll have massive problems!And oh, Shakhtar head into this game on the back of a 37-game unbeaten run(W35 D2)!

Jase 43,479 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Anyone know if Mata will be fit for this?No news on that yet but we all definitely hope so. He was missed against Swansea today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 If we want to qualify from the group we definitely have to win this one. It's going to be hard even if we do get the three points but if we don't then it's pretty much game over, assuming Juventus don't fuck up against Nordsjaelland again.Hopefully Mata is fit to start...

Atwa 78 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I don't think they will be nearly as big of a threat at the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I don't think they will be nearly as big of a threat at the bridge.Don't underestimate them. They outplayed Juventus at their turf and were unlucky to not win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza 1,965 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Least we'll have Terry back for this game. Add a bit more confidence to the back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Mata is so important to us. If he plays it'll be a big boost for us. I think we can lift and win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumps 284 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 SO PUMPED for this game. Should be a great game of football.My main hope is that we see Mata come back, and Ivanovic at CB with Azpi at RB. thats the dream.my first game at the bridge this season with me father so im really looking forward to this!I don't think it will be easy though. Shakthar are a good team with some impressive stats, but I dont think they are defensively sound, they had huge determination with their home fans behind them which is why we had a tough time, but at the bridge i dont see them being as well organised. we should get a few goals. I think our defense should keep them out and we hsould out score them.3-1 Chelsea. a fair bit of woodwork will be involved as well i reckon. and a couple of stunning saves.
