Chelsea - Juventus: CL Group Stage

Surag wrote:• Juventus have not won on their last 11 competitive outings in England, losing eight and drawing three, including their 2003 UEFA Champions League final penalty shoot-out defeat by AC Milan.

• Juve have triumphed just twice in 19 contests away to English opposition: 2-1 against Aston Villa FC in the 1982/83 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals and 1-0 at Manchester United FC in the 1996/97 group stage.

Why did you have to go and bring that up?

What do you guys think the formations are gonna be? I think Juve is pretty obvious, but what about Chelsea? I hoping to see this:


And how do.you think they're gonna come out? I think again Juves game plan is obvious, they want a win. But will Chelsea sit back like last season or actually try to outplay Juve?

So excited.

Cant wait for the game to start.

Juventus will win this easy and lose the one at SB easy.

Teams to cancel each other out and to finish a boring 0 - 0

This is Juve's best 11 in my opinion.I hope it will be this way .

It will be a great game.I just hope that players won't have problems without Conte on the bench.

Luiz is one of the most overrated defenders.He has almost nothing in common with defending phase.He is the weakest defender from Chelsea.

BTW, Giovinco and Vucinic are top class strikers right now.

Giovinco.

Amazing how underrated Giovinco and especially Vucinic are.

They can definitely upset Chelsea's defense.

Juventus have lost their last 6 away games in England

a tough game to kick off our UCL campaign, Hopefully we are written off just like last season and then we will surprise all you guys.

Before Schalke won in Piräus yesterday, no BL club won there for 30 years. What are 6 matches in comparison to that? Gigi will make Juve win!

If anything Luiz is underrated. The shit you spouted just proves that.

on to the game, really looking forward to this game. It will tell us a lot about our team.

Why don't you try to be fair and choose your words better?Firstly, David Luiz has no reasons to be a good defender so he can't be underrated; secondly, in the past I saw some people saying that Luiz is one of the best Central Back's and even the mass-media is overrating him by "transfering" him to Barcelona for 30mil euros.

I answered you in politeness, but if you really want to know, I don't give a shit about what you said.You didn't respect me and my opinion, so I won't respect you.

Chelsea XI: (4-2-3-1)

Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Oscar, Hazard; Torres
