UCL Draw Thread

No-one thinks that. You and lionsden need to actually read what people type.

I read what you typed very well and it's pure unadulterated horse shit

[Cosmin 2,484]

There are no favourites. Tough draw, I was hoping we'll get Borussia or Atletico.

Am I infringing on your copyright?

Surely there's something you could find to moan about right now?

[Eligius 121]

The Brazilians can give you better feedback on PSG players since half of them are Brazilian.

[Special Juan 27,454]

I'm quite happy for PSG to have the mantle of 'favorites' no problems at all, I mean they have the all singing all dancing dare to Zlatan, the perfect Thiago Silva the free scoring Cavani and are cruising the Ligue 1 table by some margin.

But what will happen if we beat them? Oh yes, we will of got lucky. Because nobody could possibly beat this huge, European giant in PSG.

[mediator 2,026]

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

Are you serious? Lavezzi is having one of his worst season, Menez can't even make the bench anymore, Moura isn't settled yet and Pastore is overrated and will leave at the end of the season.

Our back 4 is as good as them if not better (Silva aside), our midfield can be compared to their.

Our Ams are betters (but struggled to be creative enough (Hazard aside).

Only their strikers are really better than ours.

Mourinho vs Blanc is where they should fear us the most !

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'm quite disappointed that the biggest names like Bayern, Real and Barcelona are not playing each other. That would be very helpful for our campaign.

You're also quite cowardly. We're gonna have to beat the best teams to win it anyways.

[LAM09 6,809]

Cut the bullshit, most players play for money.

This is a dumb and stupid argument to bring up for any team.

As far our chances against PSG, I said it's good.

We just need to neutralize Zlatan and most of the damage should be contain.

More than others. Do you think Ibra wouldn't agree a pay cut to join Real Madrid?!

Give it a rest!

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I feel we're destined for a Real Madrid draw... I just feel it.

I wouldn't mind facing PSG or obviously Utd.

Careful what you wish for!

Honestly think we match up well with this team, though I don't think they've faced a tough side all year. Their domestic league is poor and in the group stages they played Anderlecht, Benfica and Olympiacos... They just knocked out Bayer Leverkusen.

Have they even been tested? Have they seen a side that boasts Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle, Eto'o? A defense the some of the greatest attacking sides in Europe find it hard to penetrate in City, Bayern, Liverpool?

I fancy Jose to do what is needed to get us through to the semis...

Lavezzi has 5 goals in his last 7 games. Menez sucks, no question. I dont think pastore sucks, but I don't think PSG was a good move for him. Lucas has been playing decent as of late..

For us, oscar and willian are out of form and hazard has played every game this year and will continue until the cl tie.

Their back 4 are athletic and good. I can bet Hazard will be marked out the whole game...

Their Cm are substantially better than ours. Cabaye, matudi, verrati and motta and raibot are a hell of a unit. Pace, work ethic and technique all in one.

Zlatan vs Torres/eto........

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Why is PSG players playing for money, but we are not?

Why are we a proper team and they are not. We are both leaders in our respective leagues with exceptional individuals.

We got some great men and real leaders, yet PSG don't? PSG have Thiago Silva, the only person in the world that can possibly mark Messi. I think you discredit PSG too much. PSG is a very good side. They would been a lot better had Carlo stayed on, however, the team as a unit is very good.

Van der Weil-Silva-marquinhos/alex-digne all are pacey. It's going to be a good match, but I wouldn't bet on us to win.

edit.

And all your bs about Zlatan not playing in EPL/the best league will be disproven.

Only Silva can mark Messi you say? FUCKING Bosingwa had Messi in his pocket mate....

Zlatan vs Torres/eto........

Yeah that's what they said before we came at the etihad.

You don't even consider Mourinho in your equation

[lionsden 4,689]

My fair assessment of both teams

Jose>Blanc

Cech>Sirigu

Silva>JT

Marquinhos=Cahill (based on current form I had argue Cahill is better but the Brazilian has higher ceiling)

Ivanovic>VDW

Azplicueta>maxwell

Cabaye>Lampard

Veratti>Ramires

Matuidi>Mikel

Hazard>Lavezzi

Zlatan>Eto'o

Cavani>Torres

So PSG have superior attackers and central midfielders while we have superior defence collectively and a superior manager.

If it was a 38 match league competition I had give PSG the edge easily but this is a 2 legged cup competition where defense and tactical superiority usually carries heavy weight and we have a manager and some players that have been here before but at the same time Zlatan and Silva are some of the worlds greatest footballers and that cannot and shouldn't be ignored. 2 genuine game changers. I can see why some rate this as 50/50 but I lean more towards 60/40 in our favor due to the experience factor.

[Eligius 121]

I said in multiple post that our main and only advantage was our manager...

It's not like we will face Real.

PSG are a good side, but don't write us off. I don't say we will win, but there are no reason to believe it.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Was going to say it is pretty even draw, but after reading the past couple of pages I'll say that we are the clear favorites to beat this shit PSG team. In fact, we're already in the semis if you ask me..

Just to piss off those who are addicted to pessimism

[SachaParis 48]

Hi from a PSG fan

First of all, i'm very excited about these 2 games. In a poker game, we could say it's a coin flip.

Here is the starting 11 that will play against you if no injuries :

Sirigu / Van der Wiel, Silva, Alex,Maxwell / Motta, Verratti, Matuidi / Lavezzi, Ibra, Cavani

Substitutes : Douchez (g), Marquinhos, Camara, Jallet, Cabaye, Pastore, Rabiot, Lucas, Menez.

Good luck to you !

[Eligius 121]

PSG are a good side, but don't write us off. I don't say we will win, but there are no reason to believe it.

I'm just saying PSG are favorites.

Obviously, any team can win (Chelsea 2012), but beating PSG would be an upset.
