Since Liverpool are starting their Europa League campaign tonight, may as well start this thread now.
This will be rodgers first season in Europe, so I expect he'll look to have a solid competition. I reckon AVB will take this competition more seriously than Redknapp and Newcastle will want to do well for sure. Hopefully these three teams will do well and help England's co-efficient points.
Mikel has stepped up big time lately. Hes actually properly developed into a ball winner and destroyer in the midfield. After a few bad displays hes developed into a vital part of our team
Luiz however is a liability. Hoping we play Bran and Cahill central with Cesar and Cole down the flanks
Sturridge to start and we've got a team.
You make it sound like Juve are like goddamn Barcelona. They're Juve. As good as they are, we're just as good if not better.

I'd take Juve's defense and CM's over Chelsea's anyday, Chelsea has the edge with AM/Wing options fairly easy and Juve's strikers whilst hardly scary are better than Chelsea's options. Buffon and Cech in goals are close but I'd just give Buffon the nod, Storari is miles better than Turnbull tho.
Oscar's 21. Guy is even married. I remember reading an interview of him not so long ago.
Hmm..seems the Sheva situation that happened a few years ago is what is exactly happening at the moment. The president wants Torres and Luiz to be played even when realistically they're shite. RDM is in a dilemma.
In terms of firepower have them outgunned though. Cech always brings it in champions league games. Cahill and Bran wont set the world on fire but both are reliable. Mikel and Ramires arent the best midfield in europe but they work surprisingly well together
Im just hoping Cole is back to form and we start a decent striker. Just as long as Luiz is out
Honestly, if I saw Torres on the teamsheet, this will be the first Chelsea game where I have refused to watch. I don't know if that makes me a bad supporter ot not, but I can't agree with Torres starting when he is in the worst form ever, nor can I watch Torres continue to kill this club.
I think Torres is at the stage now where it probably is best that he starts imitating professional wrestlers, he should just rename himself Fernando Bryan and have it done with
He'll still be a shit player but he will be entertaining as hell to watch for non Chelsea fans
Juventus haven't really been convincing this season, won't be surprised if Chelsea get out of there with at least a draw. Juve will need to go for a win in this match. Only thing which might help is Juve are very strong at home
Napoli and Inter are good teams. And Milan were too before losing their three best players.
Serie A is nothing like it was but it's not a one man league. The fact that Juve can draw away with the champions of Europe proves they are just a very good team all round but the real test is tonight.
Hey bro you were the one who said you were just as good if not better. :kobe3
Player for player I don't think Chelsea are, but they have some terrific flair players that Juve (and tbf most sides) lack. Also, let's not lie, DAT LUCK played a huge part in your results against both Juve and Shakhtar so far, Juve were better than you at the Bridge overall and if Pyatov didn't have a spaz Shakhtar wouldn't have lost.
what did you expect? their defence and midfield are better, chelsea's attacking mids are miles better and your strikers are woeful. realistically mata, hazard and oscar have carried chelsea, and any game without terry/cahill as the cb partnership chelsea have been incredibly suspect.
And if Lampard closed down Vidal faster and Mikel didnt misplace that pass we would have beaten Juve 2-0, whats your point? Its absurd, everyone was writing us off before that game, and now theyre doing it again. yes, they have a superb midfield and defence, but people keep writing us off like its bolton taking on barcelona. Juve is just a medium sized shark in a kiddie pool
If Juve were this godlike team theyd be 1st right now instead of 3rd. But instead all they managed so far was 3 draws and a win against norjelland at home. sooooooo impressive, someone hand them over the champions league title already. hey barca and madrid and munich, go home, we got a real big team here.
our defence may be shambolic at times and our strikers setting new records in stupidity, but we aint no pushovers. i see absolutely no reason why we cant tie or win today
unless we start luiz and torres, in which case yeah, we're fucked before the whistle even blows
having a few better players doesn't make them godlike. stop overreacting at the slightest hint of criticism.
no one said chelsea are pushovers. no one is writing you off. the siege mentality you're taking is absurd. it's looking at the holes in your team and saying that there are areas that juventus have better players. hardly WRITING YOU OFF or GODLIKE TEAM now is it?
I think Chelsea will get a result tonight (draw). It'd be a disaster for them if they lose, but I guess it's likewise for Juve if they don't win. Unless Shakhtar manage to mess everything up and let them both progress.
you mean the comments like 'it'll be a close game' and 'juve might pinch it at home'
yeah, resounding. i'd back juventus at home with chelsea not having their best cb pairing in terry/cahill, likely to be luiz/cahill opens all kind of holes, and the worst striker in europe up front. but hey, that's ridiculous right?
I'm not writing Chelsea's chances off. Do I think they'll win in Juve? No I don't. That doesn't mean they don't have a chance, coz they do. But Juve are stronger than them and at home, I expect Juve to take it 2-1. But if it was a draw, or even if Chelsea do win, I wouldn't be surprised.
torres will be back tomorrow. and he'll prove all you wrong. he'll smite our enemies. stop the laughing behind his back, and just when he wins the game, he's end his contract with us and announce his retirement
and then falcao will be announced on wednesday with mats hummels as our new CB
