Barnsley boss Simon Davey has admitted
Chelsea's Champions League victory over Olympiacos left him feeling "unnerved" ahead of Saturday's FA Cup tie.
The Tykes will host the Premier League giants in a sixth-round tie at Oakwell on Saturday.
However, Davey has has reassessed his side's chances following Chelsea's impressive showing in Wednesday's 3-0 European success over the Greek side.
"I did have a plan, but then I went to watch them and now I'm not sure I've the same plan," he admitted.
"It was certainly an experience. It's all very well watching them on the telly, but I felt it was important I saw them up close and I have to say I was quite unnerved.
"Their movement and pace at which they pass the ball is on a different planet to ourselves.
"I have to admit it caught me by surprise. Their awareness and touch is amazing. Every decision they make is the right one.
"I'm sure we can give them a better game. Hopefully we don't catch Chelsea on a day like I saw them and they catch us on one of our good days."
