King11Didier 916 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Don't underestimate this team, they go through Copenhagen to react this stage and are usually doing well in Europe League. We must start strong in CL, that's why we should be concentrated at max and I think Conte knows that better than anyone else, also our players should be motivated that they will play in CL once again after a year. I'd like to see Christensen in the starting eleven, but I'm not too sure that will happen. Zappacosta might start, if there was Alonso's back-up, he would've started as well, but Kenedy is not a player I'd trust in CL. Musonda might come in if we lead comfortably in the last 20-15 minutes of the game, coming for Hazard for instance. I believe Willian will start this match. I've missed these CL nights, can't wait to watch them again, I hope Chelsea can start strong and solid this year in it and win the 1st match.

This was the perfect game for him to get his first start and begin to mesh with the other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 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.

Pizy 18,952 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki-Liki 405 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki-Liki 405 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,146 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
