If we has topped the Group, Na Sporting CP we for play.

Bold of you to think Lille the Ligue1 champions will be easy to knock out.

donjazet:
Watching this video just reminded me all over again of how important giroud and pulisic were for us in the champions league last season, from the group stages to the knockouts. Very good players. Giroud served us very well while here. A bargain signing.

It's good to be asking these kind of questions some time ago at the auto's/car thread, There was a regular who stopped posting on the thread, everyone thought it was a regular hiatus until someone few weeks later posted on the account that the account owner had died from heart issues and deactivated the account. It was just shocking.

I really do hope that accounts like eruditor, Chelseafan1, bigkesh, diggz etc are all alright.
We'll just be here bantering ourselves and not know when any fellow is departed forever.

Sporting CP is better and stronger than Lille if we want to consider present form and Sporting CP has never lost a league game this season, they are on top of the league with same points with Porto conceded just five goals in 14 matches.
Lille of this season is just a team C of last season, they have conceded more in 18 matches than what dey conceded in 38 matches last season, this season alone they concede more than what they score and as it stands now they won't even qualify for conference league, nonetheless no team is pushover when it comes to ucl but we are lucky to have dem in R16.

I’ve been around , just that I’ve got a lot going on offline that’s making it difficult for me to catch up with the thread and nairaland in General.

I hate to jump into discussions in the middle , so the few times I’m able to come online I spend it reading past posts trying to catch up where I left.

izzou:


The ElshanAutos guy.

He died months before Nl knew.

What you said is quite true

donstan18:

Pulisic won’t make top5 outstanding players that helped us win UCL.

Werner did better than him in that attack.

Werner that just kept chopping goals anyhow.

There is a certain bite pulisic injects into our attack.
The way he glides past defenders, nice acceleration, having both pace and speed. If this guy was not injury prone, I'm sure he would have been better than hazard.
He still has time though.

donstan18:

Werner scored and assisted more than Pulisic, I think Abraham too[with lesser games].

Pulisic is another lowkey liability to Chelsea, the only reason people don’t drag him is because his fans don’t overhype him.

Werner, Abraham and Giroud were more influential in that attack last season than Pulisic in UCl.

airmark:


What did Abraham do in our attack in knockout stages?

donstan18:

Was he featured?

macjireh:

unless Chelsea can restore their last UCL form under Tuchel,,I don't see Chelsea progressing beyond Lille

donjazet:


Your head dey there.
I'm especially concerned about eruditor.
Many people here might just keep joking around about him leaving because of a lost bet, when in actuality it might be the unknown that has happened. Hope not Sha.

airmark:


So how did he now influence anything in our attack more than Pulisic that scored and assisted against Madrid in the Semis?

donstan18:

Did Pulisic score more than Abraham last year?

Both in UCl and EPL, despite having more playing time?

Hakim Ziyech will even be counted before Pulisic in that UCl.

Nezzjnr:

Our very own dopejemi was shot in SA few years back.

The person that made that comment with his account hasn't come online with any update... I really hope he's safe.

His numbers aren't going through again.

BlueMann:


How so? Because he scored against Atletico?

Pulisic too assisted in that same game, put in a fantastic performance away to Porto when they had to chop him down severally, then scored and assisted in both games against R.Madrid.

Even in the final, he was called upon ahead of Ziyech.

donstan18:

Aguero and Fernandiho didn’t start for ManCity in that finals. So don’t even use this as a point.

Nobody is saying Pulisic didn’t try, I’m not saying he won’t make top5 influential players that won us the UCL.

He won’t even make top7.


Kante
Mendy
Rudiger
Giroud
Werner
Jorginho
Thiago
Mount

All these players will comfortable be counted before Pulisic in that UCL win.

I didn’t even add James and Chillwell.
