Jase 43,479 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Here are some stats/facts about our group...- Chelsea last played Porto in the 2009/10 group stage, winning 1-0 home and away. Nicolas Anelka scored the winner in both games. Overall, Chelsea have won 3 and lost 1 against Porto in the Champions League.- Chelsea have never played Dynamo Kiev in Europe before but Jose Mourinho has - his Inter Milan met them in the 2009/10 group stage, drawing 2-2 at home and winning 2-1 away.- Maccabi Tel-Aviv are currently managed by ex-Watford boss Slavisa Jokanovic. Chelsea have never played them in Europe before but we have played a side from Israel previously - Hapoel Tel-Aviv in the 2001 UEFA Cup, where we lost 3-1 on aggregate.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Damn. Haven't looked ahead at our PL fixture list but lemme guess, a bunch of matches against the big boys right around our CL ties again?We do have 2-3 big matches in there. Am hoping the Dynamo Kiev match will be on Matchday 2/6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,135 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 we can't ask for anything better. Lets just not fuck it up !Good chance to focus on PL and CL, we better be at the top of the table by the time CL group stage matches are over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I can see United struggling to finish top of that group. They could even miss out again, how funny would that be!No way. PSV is weak, CSKA is decent, Wolfsburg is usually pretty good but the loss of De Bruyne is massive. No creativity without him. Their strikers are Dost and Bendtner... I was surprised to see they didn't strengthen during the summer.All those teams would kill for Utd's players. If Utd doesn't top that group they're absolutely terrible.City should finish top of their group as well with all that quality. Disgraceful European record yet they're such a big dog in England. Them choking in Europe again wouldn't help Chelsea in the league. The Skipper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobematabryant 400 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Happy with the group, aside from the travelling to the Middle east and Kyiv. We should top it easily with Porto getting second spot. AVB got an easy group, he should end up topping the group. I think the group of Death will be the PSG group. Shakhtar are also decent in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
