PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS



2017/18 Champions League Group Stage Matchday 2
27th September, Wednesday, 2017
Wanda Metropolitano
19:45 Kick Off (UK time)

[MefiX19 1,092]

Rudi, Christensen, Azpi in defence. Cesc, Baka and Kante in mid. Hazard and Morta up top please!

[Magic Lamps 11,645]

The real test. The coming week will be crucial and a benchmark for how good we actually are. Both ManCity and Atletico probably have their best teams in their club history. And I have feeling our wingbacks are not quite cut for this level. But sadly we have few alternatives

 

-------------Tibo------------

---Azpi----Luiz---Rüdiger--

Zappa--Kante--Baka--Alonso

--------------Cesc--------------

--------Morata----Hazard-----

 

That front three on form will be one of the best in Europe. I hope we will see a first sight of that midweek. 

[Blusan Alamb 295]

I will take a draw.

[BXL70 396]

Eden will be in the starting team for sure. 

[Georgy 439]

Hope we beat them. That CL semifinal against them still hurts.

is there a chance Costa is playing against us?

Is this a serious question?

Transfer window is closed...

[Last Sicarius 610]

For me there is one 11 that we must put:

Tibo

Azpi-Luiz-Rudiger

Moses-Kante-Fabs-Baka-Alonso

Hazard-Morata

Willian and Pedro shouldn't start for sure if we want kept at least 1 point.

[Tomo 21,730]

Cesc shouldn't start this one, he doesn't have the stamina to be at his best playing 2 games in 4 days, especially vs this calibre of opposition. Don't Leti play a 2 man midfield? Think we need the extra man in the middle more on Saturday.

[cosmicway 1,308]

According to elos Atletico = 1960, Chels = 1915.
There is n't much difference.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Torres goals vs Chelsea

Guys, I must be the stupidest person alive.

I'll be in fucking Madrid on this very same fucking day and somehow it never crossed my mind to buy tickets !! 

God I hate myself right now.

[different level 1,056]

I'm really looking forward to this as we have some unfinished business to take care of. Not just with the Costa situation, the 13/14 ECL semi-final was not that long ago and also who could forget the 12/13 European Supercup when they've thrashed us.

Cesc  only played like 10mins vs Stoke. I am pretty sure Conte rested him with Atleti in mind and gave him those 10mins just to keep his Rhythm but he barely broke a sweat. There might be tactical reasons not to start him but fitness should not be an issue at all. He will be fresh and raring to go.

I think his rest vs Stoke was more because he played the last four. I can definitely see him being saved for City as we will need a few changes for that one. I remember when we played them a few days after the league cup semi and were blowing out of our arses after half an hour.

Fighting against one of the lowest conceding defense and then one of the highest scoring attack in Europe.

 

Where is those guys that keep spamming "the first real test"?

 

Cause that's the time, first real test in becoming once again a domestic and international elite!
