Chelsea Vs Juve

I was hoping someone else would make one as I don't have the time to put any effort in.

Good match, it will be very tough and our greatest Challenge of the season, Will RDM sit back and counter or will he try play something new?


Should be a good match, we have to keep Pirlo quiet though.

I'm scared

LoL...why is everyone always saying "keep Pirlo quiet"?
Vucinic is the man who has been pulling the strings for Juve since February...
If you don't watch Serie A though, you won't know that...

Why would Cahill start this game is Luiz injured? & I wish RDM would have the balls to drop Lampard but then again who can really fill his boots (gimme back Raul).

I have a feeling Cahill will be prefered to Luiz today, just a hunch.

I really wish we didn't sell Raul. I actually miss the guy.

No way dude. Pirlo is the main man. If Chelsea manage to keep him quiet, they've stopped a significant part of our creativity. But then again, it's difficult to keep Pirlo quiet.

nervy feeling before this match,it is the first time we are playing a top team this season, lets be hopeful

Sorry I couldn't do the thread, Kick


Excited about this match. I hope we'll get to see more of Oscar. He could be very important.

i hope he starts mate.

Lampard will most likely start, by virtue of his "experience", and so will Torres, by virtue of, well, his pricetag.

I wish Robbie was able to pick the team HE wanted without fear of repercussions from the owner or the team's elder statesmen...

if i was the manager, i would pick sturridge ahead of torres without any hesitation, i am losing my patience with torres.

His antics after being substituted on Saturday started to push me over the edge. Sturridge should be starting ahead of him on form alone, and he knows it.

oscar is in the starting lineup

Really? That's fantastic!

No Sturridge on the bench?

Cant wait for this to start!

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!

First goal was lucky...second goal was class...Vidal the same!

VIDALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Fair result imo and please Mikel turn over machine give Romeu a chance.

Great game...Juve are going to be favourites in Turin!

Where? I think one person predicted the win, this isn't the GS we don't troll here .

Mikel was having a fantastic game until that brain dead moment. Overall, I'm happy with the way we played. Things I liked:

- Everyone was closing up and pressing the Juve players. We always play like shit when we don't do that. This also lets us recover the ball faster.

- Quick passing. Was a beauty to watch Oscar and Hazard passing with Torres. Thought Luiz played well too. When Mata came on, he seamlessly joined in the fluid passing. Loved that.

- We didn't panic in defence. I like it when we defend without scrambling all over the place(Super Cup) like headless chickens.



What I didn't like:

- Those moments of laziness. Those moments produced the goals for Juventus. We could have gotten all three points.

- Ivanovic was so shit at RB it was unbelievable. Maybe play Azpi on saturday?

- Should have brought Sturridge on. Who knows, we could have gotten a winner(and my prediction could have looked better )


Overall, great game to watch for a neutral.
