Administrator Stan Posted November 20, 2017 Administrator Posted November 20, 2017 Qarabag v Chelsea, 17.00 Atletico Madrid vs Roma, 19.45 Roma win and they're through. Chelsea win and they're through. Atletico have to win and Chelsea to drop points to have any chance of qualifying.
Cicero Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Must win but need to keep Liverpool in mind. Morata----Pedro Willian Alonso-----------Luiz----Drinkwater----Zappacosta Cahill----Christensen----Rudiger Courtois

Cicero Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 United linked with him again. Question is are we really going to give them another outcast?
Cicero Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Win tonight and we are through. Question is, do we want to finish 1st, and potentially get Real, Bayern, Juve, or finish 2nd and potentially get Barca, PSG? Will absolutely piss myself if Atletico and Napoli get kicked into the Europa League. Arsenal can never catch a break.

Napoli still has a chance if things go their way to qualify for the knock out stages, but Atletico is out if they fail to get three points.

With most English clubs finishing 1st, we might be better off finishing 2nd by the look of things
True Blue Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Just now, Cicero said: With most English clubs finishing 1st, we might be better off finishing 2nd by the look of things As things stands in other groups it is almost the same if you finish 1st or 2nd considering how many good teams are second. However i also think Conte won't calculate and will go for a win in every game.

However i also think Conte won't calculate and will go for a win in every game. We can't draw an English club, and with United, City, Spurs, and potentially Liverpool all finishing 1st, it reduces the amount of drawing a top club if we finish 2nd. Whereas if we finish 1st, we have Juve, Real, and Bayern waiting...
Cicero Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Rudiger; Zappacosta, Fabregas, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Pedro, Hazard Back to a 3-4-3 and Kante+Cesc partnership. Hoping for the best. COYB let's finish this tonight.

I know it was only Atletico who have been poor all season but they made it very tough to be broken down. Probably don't want to make the same mistake as with Atletico-City. With this one being a less of a risk. Our players were absolutely knackered against City, and losing Morata early on basically had us throwing in the towel.
Administrator Stan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Administrator Posted November 22, 2017 Qarabag hit the bar!
Administrator Stan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Administrator Posted November 22, 2017 Penalty to Chelsea and red card for Sadigov, their main centre-back and most experienced player. Good decision on replay. Pulled Willian down. No choice for the ref.
Cicero Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 0-2 up currently. Great play for the second.
Cicero Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 0-2 at the Half. Qarabag with only 10 men. Safe to say we can make some rotations. I'd put in Drinkwater for Cesc and Morata for Hazard at the start of the second.

Batshuayi is injured, and it be good for Morata to get some minutes ahead of Liverpool. Keep him on his toes. I'd put Morata for Hazard, Drinkwater for Cesc, and Christensen for Kante, and push Luiz in midfield.
Administrator Stan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Administrator Posted November 22, 2017 Another penalty for Chelsea after another foul on Willian! This one looked a bit softer.
Cicero Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Cesc needed to do a re-take (even though ive seen Neymar do that all the time), but makes it 0-3 on his second. We can breath a lot easier now against Atletico as we've already qualified.
