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
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.
Ermmm
Buffon > Cech

Lucio < Bran
De Ceglie < Cole
Caceres > Bertrand

Pepe < Hazard
Giovinco > Marin

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.
