I love the gold Champions League outfit/training wear. Stunning. Will definitely buy once released.

That is not true. He actually wanted to leave. Last year he had an offer from Burnley, agreed personal terms, but Dinamo was not letting him go.

Great player, alongside  Petkovic (when he is interested to play) but Dinamo was really lucky to get into Champions league this year. Nowhere near from previous seasons performances...

Burnley ?
Our Giannakopoulos went to Bolton, but no good for higher up.
The other Greek one Mitroglou who went to Fulham, ok he was injured, but the only good thing about him is he was a good finisher.
Giannakopoulos was "star system".
So Orsic could n't play for us or for City ?

                                          Kepa

                    James - Fofana - Koulibaly - Chilwell

                                 Zakaria - Jorginho

                            Mount - Havertz - Puli

                                           Broja

No way man. He doesn't have that  quality. He is a player that can flash great moves and goals here and then but not consistent, even in weaker league. He is not even a starter for National team, and rarely plays for it, so...

If he plays tonight would be a very good sign.

I would go with that except swap puli for sterling and broja for auba.

I thought he was out for 6 weeks? Great news

[Superblue 6,331]

Kepa due to start too apparently.

Mount in a double pivot?

Be interesting to see how Mount plays in a deeper role.

Is Fofana the CCB or is Dave playing LCB?

Good question. Don’t know if Fofana has played on the left side before but I would’ve initially guessed KK in the center, Azpi right, Fofana left. But I have no idea what it will actually be.

[Nero 1,794]

Feel bad for Chalobah.

I'd feel more for Broja. I've no idea when he'll get consistent minutes.

[Pizy 17,860]

Whatever the XI or formation, our season needs to really start to get on track here. Can’t afford to start off on the wrong foot in this group which will likely be trickier than many predict. Clubs like Zagreb and Salzburg that would normally fear a massive, super rich club like Chelsea will have been studying our games so far and realizing that they can get stuck into us.

Not expecting any easy ones in this group so the likes of Havertz & Mount in particular need to step the hell up.
