darrus 422 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Ok-ish draw, I'd say. We could do worse, and they look realistically beatable. Sure with our finishing it's hard to be confident but we'll have chances to score and we have solid defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 d only better department they have mur dan us is their central midfield position due to matic absence and striking position but our defensive line up is rock solid so we can curtail them though will be difficult...our attacking players are also great which any top team in the world would dream to have...d trio of hazard oscar n willian...just need oscar n willian 2be on top of their game...ktbffh!!!

mediator 2,026 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 why? without matic we have looked weak in midfield (first half of the season)Their midfield is strong because they are 3 in a 4-3-3 formation but if you look at it twice, we can match them.------ Motta ------ (Luiz / Mikel)Matuidi - Cabaye (ramires - Lampard) it's as good for me. I don't think that Verratti is matured enough to play a big part in this tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 No Matic is HUGE. Probably gives them the slight edge over the two ties imo. Despiadado.Maleante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG as a unit is better than Chelsea as a unit. However, as I mentioned earlier, we have a huge advantage in our managers. I still bet 3-0 or 4-1 aggregate, PSG. Zlatan doesn't need pace to score vs Cahill/Terry and I can bet Cavani giving Dave fits all day long. In regards, to Willian , hazard and oscar this game will be a great test because their whole backline has good pace and they have the best CB in the world and a solid goalkeeper. We've been fortunate to have played all shitty teams so far in the Champs League, I'm glad we got someone good this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with respect to you and them, JT and Cahill are no strangers to strong attackers. They have the capability to neutralize them. Azpi has been a monster and the scarriest thing about him is he is continuously improving. Midfield we definitely have an edge over them with our pace and skill.Now as a UNIT, I think you are not correct. Chelsea is one of the greatest teams that play as a UNIT. Our midfielders and forwards join the defense all the team and our defenders contribute to our attack. We move together much better than PSG. dee25, Barbara, Eden2020 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las7 951 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's neither the worst draw we could have gotten nor the best possible option. Anyhow I'm happy we got PSG, they are a good team but not the best in the competition; they don't really have much history in the knockout stages; the destination isn't very far for our fans to travel and we will get to see some great duels like Terry vs Zlatan.
