Solid this 👏. Andersson Vs CGH pretty much translates to a massacre anyways so I don't expect her to start, Charles is probably best in my view although Carter strength could be useful albeit lack of the acceleration she might have against CGH could be an issue , a weapon undermentioned for Chelsea though could be the ability of the CB pair in Magda and Millie to go long with balls down the channels and diagonals. Something PSG did sparingly but when they did, katoto was there to win the first ball and have runners in behind her from deep, with kerr that could be a weapon especially to counter the press by Barca High up the pitch in a bid to win the ball. The diagonals could also help the Chelsea fullbacks push up the pitch while having extra bodies in the middle. One thing is for certain, there are lots of key battles in certain areas of the pitch and the lineup will also play a crucial part, I am still torn on if Erin comes in to help combat CGH and provide extra solidity out wide and for whoever starts at LB, seems a way although I can understand if the conventional midfield 3 is instead employed to cut out the passing routes to CGH in the first place. Pay keen attention to barca drawing everyone left then huge diagonals to set a 1V1 like you said, will be key and also Harder for Chelsea picking up intelligent half spaces. I fancy Chelsea aerially against Either Oshoala or Hermoso so forcing them to go long might not be as much of a worry as it was against bayern, one thing is for sure. We are in for a treat, I hope Emma gets it spot on as lots of variations will play in her head. On paper Chelsea seem just about the right team to neutralize barca, can defend deep and hit quickly at will and can also look to cause high turnovers. We will see, up the blues, won't be easy, I do hope we win 💪
