Yess
I prefer Suchrrule to start instead of William. He is a man of big matches. He has scored in all big teams. This yr against M City. If he starts he wl be z difference of z game. Surely, he wl score. Mour has known what he did against Arsenal in 6-0 win & he wl repeat on this game.
good lineup,except 4 schurle’s exclusion.willian is good & wit his speed & ability 2 recover d bal,he should be used as a 2nd half substitut.schurle remains a goal treat regardles of d hardluck he had against bolton & sportn lisbon.i predict 4-2 or 3-1 scoreline in favor of cfc.ktbffh.
I hope chelsea will win by 4-2 final whistle
Mourihno pls use sallah we beg u. A very good player rushing on d bench every week.if u dont play him regularly how wil he get use to d team.
Yup, that’s a nice preview you have there.
😀 I got a good laugh out of the first match fact.
I think you should’ve put up an Arsenal line-up as well and gave your own score prediction, though.
An Interesting statistics. Back in the days We used to be behind them in London but now with a Champions leagues we are convincing to all.
