SempreJuve 62 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 should be a good game between us. It won't be easy for either side. I would argue our defense is as good as yours, midfield is, you have it over us in attack but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shulz 23 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Juve fans will be rubbing their hands now. I put Juve as a similar level as Atletico. If they are as efficient as Atletico are settled, we're in trouble. The whole world has just witnessed Chelsea 12/13. It's a rather fragile one you'd say.don't worry mate, it's just the beginning.. you are not in perfect shape and one game won't change the fact that this is the same team that won the CL last year, with some new great players like Hazard. we are not rubbing hands, just excited for the challenge!

Pinturicchio 5 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Let's just say that in the first match of Serie A last week, we didn't show a great shape either, but we were lucky that we didn't play against a really good teamlike Atlético Madrid. I think that in 18 days both teams we'll be in their best shape, or really close to it. Of course I hope we'll play like Atlético, but I'm pretty sure that Chelsea willrecover from the bad performance we saw last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempreJuve 62 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 PHEW!Juventus will definitely not be as hard as some people think.Juventus have looked incredibly weak since Conte's ban, they don't have a prolific striker, and their defence keeps experiencing injuries. Their midfield is incredible though. Vidal + Asamoah will destroy any ball near them and Pirlo will pass 'round Mikel for fun.our starting defence is fine and we won the supercoppa. I guess we have looked incredibly weak of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat 21 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It would be foolish to write off Galatasaray, achieving a result in Turkey is very difficult. I expect the Cimbom to finish as the runners-up of group H behind Manchester United with Braga & CFR Cluj missing out. Group D promises several enticing encounters with the champions of England, Spain, Germany and Holland all forced into a single group. One would expect Real Madrid to come out on top, with the last place up for grabs being decided by either Manchester City or Dortmund. Group of death, most definitely. And finally, from a Chelsea perspective, there should be no struggle in reaching the knock-out rounds with a fairly easy-average group - Juventus should be the only side capable of harming us.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 No group is simple as Man U proved last season when at the start their fans were bragging about having an easy group.. Hmmm wonder if we'll get another 'welcome to hell' banner rolled out...werent exactly that time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing Lichtsteiner had an excellent game? If so, then be prepared to see him marked out of the game with Chelsea playing both Cole & Bertrand on the left.

No one had a great game.Today juve was really slow, but that because Udinese played in 10 player for 80'.We'll see both Chelsea and Juve at their maximum when they we'll face each other, and i can't wait!

capriccioso 2,545 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I don't think you'll get away with playing 3 at the back if we're going to be playing with 2 wingers. If they stay wide then that could cause a lot of problems. I think you'll need a back 4 rather than 3 just to provide defensive solidity on the flanks.
