UEFA Champions League 2014-15

[spark]

Game Always goes the same whenever I watch Chelsea, they play anti football based on results, do nothing but defend then score a fluke goal and bring home the win. I Always feel they have the players to play beautifull football yet its Always towards results only in big games. Bit of a waste.

Its a valid criticism in league games but in the CL thanks to the away goals rule I wouldn't blame them there. If we had been a bit smarter away from home against Inter or Chelsea this generation would have retained the Champions League at least once as it deserved to.

Meh, Psg havent created that much, dont know why people praise them so much for the first half.

Dunno why either.

Besides Verratti, no psg player is having a decent performance. And that says a lot since Verratti doesn't get many balls to work with.

Created roughly three times more than Chelsea.

PSG played better in the first half. Chelsea just scored in about the only chance they got.

And PSG isn't playing particularly crisp either.

Bayern problem is except Robben they have no player who can make individual difference, and thus there is little change of rhythm, they will struggle against tactical defensive approach.

You'll never go far with a static Ibrahimovic leading the line, never runs in behind or troubles you, if you are a physical defender you have him on lockdown, much easier to defend when everything is infront of you.

 

[Sumlit]

It's criminal how Verratti gets marginalized though. Pisses me off. You'd think it would behoove them to run their game through their best midfield player.

Anyway did you guys see how luiz changed the position of the ball in Ibra fk?

Okay found a vine

Isnt Ribery a very good dribbler? Could create some trouble on his own.

I haven't been paying full attention but how can people say chelsea are playing anti-football? Doesn't look like it to me

Yeah, completely stupid to claim that a team having 53% of the ball is parking the bus or playing anti football. But well, people just like to hate Chelsea.

Probably undeserved lead but thats it really.

He doesn't look Marginalized to me.

It's just that PSG has no real tactics with the ball besides trying to ignore their own midfield because chelsea is packing players there too. PSG struggles against any teams that mostly play defensive.

Lewa should be on for Muller/Goetze or Ribery. Is alaba playing at the back with Boateng? What monster

 

[antonnn]

I hear this way to often, that the fbs and wingers are poor crossers. Rarely heard anyone praise a fb for crossing, only hating. Maybe its harder than people think.

Never said it wasn't difficult. Plus Iva is a natural CB, it's even harder for him. I've seen him put in better crosses with his left than his right actually. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if he's praised worldwide, our fans know how good he is and he's been solid for us for ages now.

Chelsea ain't playing anti-football at all today, we're just defending pretty well and get numbers back when not on the ball as well as not attacking especially well. PSG do the same thing actually but attack better.

There's no underserved lead in football.

If you can't score, you lose. That's all it is about.

 

[Morten]

Muller has been wasteful, well compared to his usual world cup-mode anyway.

 

[Alen]

Definitely, like Atletico for example. But for big clubs with money it shouldnt be acceptable, you want nice football as well. Atleast for me thats the case.

Yeah i guess, but i don't think they're that depressing this year. Aren't they like the best attack in the CL?
