Difficult draw. Getting United would have been perfect.

Our Chemistry/form teacher let us see the Draw Live in the final period of the day!

Not the worth draw ever even though they have a stronger starting 11/squad. but that rarely counts for much in cup competitions

I would have preferred utd or Dortmund.

their defence is there to be gotten at. except Silva there's Alex, Maxwell and VdV. not great. Think we can do damage there

and Marquinhos you mean?

[Special Juan 27,424]

JT to knock Zlatan's big fucking eagle beak off his face.

[Strike 7,217]

and Marquinhos you mean?

Marquinhos isn't first choice. It'll mostly be Silva-Alex

[Rmpr 8,977]

Not really, it is mostly Marquinhos and T. Silva who are starting. There are also strong rummours Alex wants to move to MLS because of that!

But anyway, I agree with the fact their defence (appart from Silva) isnt as solid as it should be. We can definitely exploit that if Hazard-Oscar-Willian play well...

THIS.

In Sweden they show almost every game cuz of Ibra and its comedy gold watching Thiago Silva babysitting the PSG defence.

[Shane 2,275]

Quietly confident about this one to be honest. JT and Cahill have been rock solid all season and I don't think that will change. Zlatan is capable of nearly anything but he does lack pace which suits JT. We will have to be wary of Cavani on the right, but I have full faith in Azpilicueta, Its a clash I can't wait to see actually. I'd imagine Cesar is relishing it too, I'd imagine he's that sort of player.

They'll probably dominate the middle in Paris. I don't follow all their games but I'd expect to see something like Cabaye, Verrati/Pastore and Motta in the middle? Lavezzi, Ibra and Cavani is a top class front three, but our defence is world class aswell. We have nothing to fear here, Jose will go out with a plan and hopefully rob an away goal in Paris. If we can get a score draw, I'd fancy us to hold out. If we do lose over there, it wouldn't be the end of the tie as long as we score.

Predicting us to go through, 2-1 loss in Paris and 1-0 win in London.

Strike is right. It is Alex and Silva the preferred two. Marquinhos gets the odd game but in a big game, most times you will see Alex and Silva. Marquinhos gets a lot of game time though. He is rotated in a lot but for the game against us expect too see Silva and Alex if they are fit.

Dare to Eto'o

it's not definite. thiago silva is the constant. and alex and marquinhos share the other spot. i would say Alex 2/3rd and Marquinhos 1/3rd

dont think Pastore Will play, Will probably be Motta Matuidi and Veratti/Cabaye

[Rmpr 8,977]

Talking about Pastore...DODGED A BULLET RIGHT THERE!!!!

Their midfield would be something like :

----- Motta ----

Matuidi - Cabaye

Matuidi is similar to our ramires, great engine but no skill (smarter though)

Cabaye is similar to our old Lampard btw

They aren't better than us on this part

[Special Juan 27,424]

Didn't we just.

their midfield is good though. Matuidi Verratti Motta. Better than Chelsea's without Matic so need to be careful there
