izvukao je on 200% u prosloj sezoni, ove je imao dosta losih utakmica.

 

Istina, doduse ove godine ima nesto slabiji/neosvezeni tim, plus je sezonu poceo bez najboljeg igraca zbog povrede, plus opterecenje LS. Ne igra Celzi puno slabije ove godine, vise su drugi veliki podigli nivo svoje igre.

da, dosta problema sa povredama, malo malo pa se neko povredi sto nije toliko karakteristicno za chelsea. ima i do toga sto su se protivnicki menageri i igraci vec privikli na ovu formaciju. ipak, prosle sezone se nisu desili porazi kao ove sa watfordom, romom, bournmouthom, etc...

If there is a single competition in which it's difficult to make a prediction when two of the strongest teams face each other, then it's the Champions League.

 

Chelsea are not arriving at their best level, they have won their last two matches comfortably but the defeats against Bournemouth and Watford have scarred them, although no coach ever feels like it's a good time to face Barcelona.
Winning the Premier League isn't easy, but defending it is even more challenging and this season the Blues have played in an additional competition, and this is always an added challenge for any squad.
This is one of the obvious reasons for the club's drop in performance, maybe some of the new signings have not yet adapted as quickly as expected, there have also been injuries suffered by some key players that give the team a sizable boost in quality, for example Alvaro Morata.
There have also been important exits with both Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa departing the club.

 

 

As for their approach to the tie, the area where Chelsea can cause the most damage is by targeting Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto. The two Barcelona full-backs are better in attack than they are in defence.
Furthermore, players like Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic don't have the energy to drop back and cover the spaces left behind by the two full-backs.
When Antonio Conte said on Friday that Barcelona had weaknesses without the ball which he would try and exploit, it's perhaps this he was referring to.
The fact that Chelsea are used to playing with a 5-3-2 formation with two wing-backs provides the team the ability to try and exploit the wide areas. With two players capable of causing damage in Marcos Alonso and Eden Hazard, this is a battle where Chelsea have better options.
The central areas will be more in the Blaugrana's favour as I think Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti will make life difficult for Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.
There has been a significant debate over where Conte will choose to use a natural forward or utilise Hazard as a false-nine, as he has in recent matches. Personally, I don't think this will be a decisive point of the match.

 

 

As a coach, when you put a midfielder as a No. 9 you are looking to have more possession, however I don't think this is something which particularly worries Conte. Barcelona will dominate the ball and Chelsea won't be able to do much about it, so the difference between the English club's various forward options is minimal.
Some secondary players can have an influence, like N'Golo Kante covering the spaces inside or Paulinho making his trademark late runs into the penalty area. In any case, these kind of matches are usually decided by the best players, so the key question is how Chelsea manage to stop Lionel Messi and his attacking partners.

How Chelsea can hurt Barcelona

Hazard has the ability to hurt the Spanish visitors without his team dominating the game. Although Barcelona will take control of possession, if Chelsea can stay alive they have some talented players of their own who can create danger.
For example you have Cesc Fabregas, Marcos Alonso and David Luiz's set-piece prowess and, above all, you have Hazard.
If stopping Messi is where the tie will be decided, the next most important factor for the London club will be how their own best player performs.
Chelsea can adapt to several formations depending on the opponent or the situation. The versatility of Victor Moses, Cesar Azpilicueta and Luiz allows for Chelsea to change system on the fly without much difficulty.
There is no real consensus as to whether it's better to play the first leg at home, but Chelsea could benefit from this. I know Stamford Bridge as a player and I have visited as a coach with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Despite the stadium not having the famed name of others, it's one that lives for the big nights and it squeezes the players in. If Chelsea can go to the Camp Nou still in the tie, then that is dangerous for Los Cules.

How Barcelona can hurt Chelsea

Messi and Ernesto Valverde's attack will be crucial. Chelsea haven't faced a team on the level of Barcelona in terms of attacking quality. Messi is accustomed to overcoming teams which try to tighten the spaces around him, he finds a solution when there doesn't appear to be one.
Simply stopping the Argentine is an incredible challenge that goes beyond tactical decisions.
The 4-4-2 system utilised by the former Athletic Club coach gives the team a great deal of confidence, I have the feeling that Valverde has elected to use this formation as a way of limiting the impact of Neymar's departure with the intention of eventually returning to 4-3-3.
However, the experiment has gone so well that the Spaniard has preferred to keep the new system in place, the team look very confident in playing within it. It also gives them more defensive solidity that they had last season.
Barcelona netting the first goal could have a double impact, if the Blaugrana are ahead then the bad form and negative dynamic could fall on Chelsea's head yet again, this would make it very difficult for Conte's team to stay in the tie.

Problem je što bi kazna za Holgejta bio i znak obeshrabrivanja za druge igrače da prijavljuju rasističke ispade. Ja stvarno ne znam da li je on bio ubeđen da je čuo nešto ili je probao da isfolira i da iznudi kaznu za Firmina, mislim uvek će moći da se brani ovim prvim i ovo drugo ćeš jako teško da dokažeš.

Pa to je potencijalni problem, što će igrači pokušavati na taj način da se izvuku iz situacija kao što je ta koju je on izazvao. Mislim, od retardirane FA nisam ni očekivao da će nešto pametno da urade u ovom slučaju, osim što su oslobodili Firmina krivice.

Drugi gol na LFC-MUFC je bio prelep. Asistencija samo tehnički može da se pripiše Vudburnu, dodao je loptu rezervisti Kamaču na aut liniji, ovaj zadriblao do ivice šesnaesterca i plasirao u suprotni ugao.

 

Taj tek što je ušao. Pogodio Džerard sa svim izmjenama.
