Champions League | Matchday 6

Interesting lineup by the look of it, James and Barkley at CM? Good to see Havertz made the bench, was concerned about injury last week.

Having the early kick off is really a pain! Hope to watch second half.

Looks more like James, Mount and Barkley in the midfield. Saul and CHO the wingbacks and Lukaku and Werner up front in a 352. Very interesting, and kind of disjointed so far, as you would expect.
 
This is a complete failure of pointing technique, i blame lukaku, why wasn't he pointing people where to be?
 
Zenit are just running through our non-existent midfield. Should be 4-1 down.
 
:lol:

Chelsea are at sixes and seven. All eleven players look out of form. I don't know what happened in just a few weeks!
 
United would want Chelsea to win the group. Juventus look a decent last 16 draw.

They are playing a midfield/wing-back four of Saul, Barkley, James (central), and Hudson-Odoi. Feels like an unserious team.

Injuries. Without at least two of Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic we can't control a game.

We have Barkley, Saul and Sarr out there. CHO playing in an unfamiliar position James and Barkley in a weird double pivot. I'm not surprised by this game.
 
If Chelsea finish 2nd, they could end up playing Bayern, Real or Ajax. But we all know they'd end up with the winner of Group G.
 
Bit late i know but couldn't believe the state of bbc 5live's commentary during the liverpool game last night. As during the red card frenzy in the porto game they thought that all 3 red cards had gone to atletico and the commentator even said that Wendell and Marchesin had been sent off and all of them had thought that atletico had gone down to 8 after Correa had gone as well!!!
What i find amazing is that the commentary team which included Pat Nevin and Neil Lennon didn't seem to know that Wendell and Marchesin play for porto not atletico and Marchesin is the back up goalkeeper. What topped it off though is no-one corrected them and they spent the next 15 minutes trying to figure out what formation atletico could be playing with 8 men and astounded that atletico went on to score 2 more goals!!! Completely boggles the mind.

We've had rotten luck with our CL draws over the years. Don't confuse our luck in the FA Cup with this completion.

Oh yeah maybe I'm thinking of City then and their group stage luck?
 
Good. I want them in the R16. Be interesting to see how much of last season was them being better and how much was fitness

You'll be sent packing, tbh. Real aren't at all convincing this season.

Chelsea? They're a very good outfit but not worth their hype. City and Liverpool are both clearly superior sides, in my view. They're the pinnacle of hard to beat and use that to tremendous effect, they remind me a bit of that Juventus side in the mid 2010s. I think the way they play lends itself very well to cup competitions.
 
Can Young Boys still get Europa or is that completely off the table?
 
Hopefully Chelsea get top spot. I'd fancy our chances against Juve.
 
It’s funny on here with Lukaku. You can just sense a severe amount of sobbing every time he scores.

Werner was fantastic there. He would start every match for me.Constant pressing and pressure with endless running in behind. If he was composed in front of goal he’d be absolutely lethal.
 
Malang Sarr is rather dodgy isn’t he? Positioning is bizarre.

There was 2 comments about Lukaku and 1 of them was from a Chelsea fan :lol:
 
Looking at our (Bayern) lineup, i wouldn't buy tickets for that just yet.
Our midfield is basically nonexistent today :nervous:
Ideally i would want Barca to lose but supporting them today due to fifa 22 reasons
