UCL Draw Thread

[Corlett 202]

Anyone know when tickets go on sale?

[Strike 7,217]

i won't say this tbh.

why? without matic we have looked weak in midfield (first half of the season)

[darrus 422]

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.

[Alabama 1,992]

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!!!

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.

[didierforever 7,349]

Clean sheet at the bridge is going to be the most essential thing.

[Hutcho 8,443]

No Matic is HUGE. Probably gives them the slight edge over the two ties imo.

[Namika 922]

Sirigu

Jallet - Marquinhos/Alex - TS - Maxwell

Motta

Matuidi - Verratti

Cavani - Ibra - Lucas/Pastore/Lavezzi

Thats their team. Cabaye isn't playing that much.

[vergil_sparda 26]

Oscar and Wilian really needs to step up their offensive game for both ties for us to progress

[Eligius 121]

Zlatan + cavani + lavezzi vs our back four.

Verrati, cabaye, and matudi vs ramires, lampard and mikel.

If we beat psg, I would consider it a huge upset. Chelsea bias aside, I would bet aggregate either 4-1 or 3-0.

Mourinho vs Blanc

Thats our only advantage....... sadly

Here come the negative soldiers.

Are you serious?

PSG are a group of individuals playing in a second-rate league for money. We're a proper team, with players who have been there and done it and still have the drive and desire to prove themselves at the very top level. We're favourites for this tie for a reason.

Favorites according to who?

To you or to a neutral?

The french league may suck, however, that doesn't mean ever team sucks in their league. 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.

PSG might have some good INDIVIDUALS that are better than ours in the attacking position. 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.

A huge upset?? Really?

I mean they're slight favorites sure but doubt anyone would think hell has frozen over if we emerge out of the draw as winners.

I wouldn't say they're better as a unit (or team) in the slightest. They're a group of individuals playing for one reason - money.

We're a team, a proper club.

I'm glad we got PSG too, but I'm not scared of them. They've got some great players but we've got some great men, some real leaders.
