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.

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

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).

Why? If anything, you will need one.

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

No. The ban was reduced after JT appealed.

if you play a 4-2-3-1 with Mikel and Lampard in the midfield they will get overrun by Asamoah, Vidal, Marchisio. Pirlo will be free to dictate the game. We play a 3-5-2 with wingbacks not wingers, we will play with Asamoah on the left and probably Lichsteiner.

How would you play?

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

How would you play?

Hopefully with Ramires in midfield.

[SempreJuve 62]

Hopefully with Ramires in midfield.

So Ramires-Mikel as the holding mids? Who on the wings? I assume you would play a 4-2-3-1?

Well I hope we switch back to 4-3-3. If not Hazard does track back reasonably well. Keeping your defenders busy though I think is a good form of defence and will take the pressure off. I expect Bertrand/Ramires to start though (not that I want them too).

I think without a defensive winger, in the 4-2-3-1, you will struggle a bit.

Perhaps. However I think if we play somewhere near our full capacity we'll win, with little problems. I guess Bertrand should start seeing as how you play 3-5-2. He is better on the wing than Ramires.
