Sounds like Morata won't be starting tomorrow and while I'm okay with Cahill coming in against Qarabag, just bloody hoping that Conte doesn't permanently throw him back into the starting XI.

Sound like Hazard could be on the bench aswell

U serious mate ? If I had to pick between CL or PL to win every year it would be the CL all day long that's the trophy every club wants to win

Our boys all seem super excited to play tomorrow judging by their Twitter posts. Hopefully we're ruthless and put them to the sword quickly.

Probably. That's the big boy's league, who doesn't like that? 

I can't wait to see our boys against Simeone's Atleti with Griezmann, Koke and Saúl Níguez. We are going to play against fucking Arsenal like the 4th-5th time in 2017 this weekend, I am more excited about Roma and Atleti games.

The CL has become too stale, heck, I've been more excited for FA cup games than for this one. But who knows, perhaps it's just Qarabag. If I could choose between the PL and the CL, I'd always pick the PL.

I think "real" CL starts from knockout stage. Groups are kinda boring.

I dont think so. Of course, there are weak teams but with 

Roma Atleti and Chelsea

Real Dortmund and Spurs

PSG Bayern

Barca Juve

City Napoli

I'm looking forward to a few games on there

[Miki-Liki 405]

These games (PSG - Bayern, Barca - Juve, City - Napoli) are completely pointless in the group stage when you know that they are surely going to qualify for the knockout stages. Even in QF you get teams that are steamrolled.

Games don't have to be do-or-die to be interesting and entertaining.

Finally we are back in UCL. Always love this competition, it allow me to watch different style of football clash which is a fun sight.

My expectation is in UCL every year is very modest, do well which mean qualify to knockout round and if we have to lose, don't lose in dumb way (Like the way we lost against PSG, that really pissed me off)

Don't think there is much need to throw Hazard in, Pedro and Willian should be enough. Hazard just appears v Arsenal this weekend and rips them a new arsehole

there is the necessity to rotate players.
