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.

Why ? Maybe you don't know the game of juve.

Italian clubs usually play with 3 defenders, it has worked for the past 100 years.

Juve doesnt really have wingers (as we imagine in EPL), they arent as free.

I believe central midfield will be crucial to the game, whoever controls it wins. Vidal and Marchisio are box to box and Pirlo is a maestro. Our double pivot will have to work, but I sincerely think RDM will have the answer.

Yup. The game will be won in midfield.

I think we have to play 4-3-3 against Juve, the pivot wouldn't survive. I cringe about the thought of 5 midfielders swarming Mikel after Lampard, Hazard, Mata et al have left him alone and exposed in midfield.

Your English is superb, bro. Welcome to TalkChelsea.

we should be fine playing the 3-5-2. Asamoah runs all day on the left and either Lichsteiner or Isla on the right will do the same. Licht is more defensive so you might see him. If you play 2 CM I think you will be a bit exposed. It should be pretty interesting to see what the two coaches do.

I can't wait to start the Champions League as defending champions.

Can we do it again?

[SempreJuve 62]

I was wondering, how do you think you will line up against us?

Injury/suspension permitting, probably something like this:

Ramires ahead of Oscar/Marin/Moses/Sturridge as he provides a great counter attacking threat, can run hard and is decent at marking and tackling.

I imagine this is what we'll look like when attacking:

And while defending:

[SempreJuve 62]

Yeah I think you will need to play a more defensive winger like Ramires.

Bitch please, this is how we roll in the Champions League.

[capriccioso 2,545]

No it isn't!

This is it:

Alternatively, the Kalou clan consist of 9 sisters, and 2 brothers Bonaventure and Salomon. We could sent out a mixed 11 like this:

:D

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

No more Ramires on the wing. I doubt he'd play there anyway (Thank God) now that we are a bit light in CM. I'd actually perfer Bertrand on the LW if RDM insists on using one defensive winger (which we shouldn't).

Yeah I think you will need to play a more defensive winger like Ramires.

Why? If anything, you will need one.

Isn't JT suspended for the first game against Juve?

[Jype 6,398]

Isn't JT suspended for the first game against Juve?

No. The ban was reduced after JT appealed.
