Jype 6,398 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 not overly bothered about our group, hopefully as easy as possible but if we can avoid city psg and valencia then i will be happy, i think we can beat them all but don't want to have to start playing exceptionally just to get out the group, and no stupid games far away, as you know we will be playing a weekend away game on Sunday then game on Wednesday in Russia or something followed by one on Saturday in the prem again.xWe are certain to avoid City because they can't be drawn against another team from England.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We're getting Lille, and we're going to throw both our games against them but still top the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambiny14 25 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think the most interesting draw from the off-the-field point of view would be Valencia, Lille/PSG and Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i would love it if Chelsea were drawn with Celtic, Ajax and Schalke. Celtic because there's less travel, Ajax because they won't defend with 10 men and Schalke because in Pot 2- Benfica - already STFU'd last season- Valencia - likewise- ManC - impossible- Braga - portugal-shakthar, zenit and dynamo kiev involve a lot of travel. so i hope we get schalke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Choulo mentioned, it's nice to face new teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Dortmund can indeed be tricky for us. Probably best if we didn't get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit 3,176 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i want to avoid dortmund. our defence will be troubled by quick tricky players like gotze, blaszczykowski and also lewa up front.But Dortmund weren't that great last year. Infact they were not at all looking as German Champions. I was looking at ESPN Bundesliga Season Review and there was a guy(I don' remember the name) who said that because dortmund play such a high tempo game that they couldn't get anything from the players during a mid-week. They were tired and were not able to play 2 games in a week. May be klopp would address that issue but i still don't see them as major hurdle.

Milan 17,957 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 They are just introducing clubs involved and it is always great to see our Chelsea being first, as the CL holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
