what was the result?

what unsportmanship have we shown here. courtois is a CHELSEA player. he was simply LOANED out. the contract would have been signed in the complete knowledge of ATM, courtois and chelsea. we dint hold a gun to their forehead and make them sign it. if everton was fighting for the title and hypothetically it all came down to everton vs chelsea on the final day of PL. would u say its un sportman to not let lukaku play the game? football is as much a business as it is a sport. we do business to get the best deals on players we deem the best suited for us. and then we come down to the field.

dont lessen the transfer fee. just tell them to take torres off us. PLEASE.

ifs and buts... really. hindsight can be such an awesome thing. dint really see u questioning me after the 1st leg. by the way, had not i said, clinicality to be one of the reasons why i dint want psg to play us? and that is what did happen in the first leg. they cashed in on our mistakes. one night? so 2-2, 1-0 against ATM (outplayed), 3-4. 2-1 against barca, 2-1 sevilla, the juve games. even the 3-0 win against bvb flattered them no end. the match could very well have ended 3-3. the 2nd leg should have been a 5-0 drubbing. weird that for a team having CR, bale, maria, modric, alonso, u have so many off nights. the fact that they have 1 point off 12 against their title challengers should be proof enough. again, if we get RM, they will be favourites, not denying that, but they are no where near as good as people (or rather just you), hype them to be. tactically they are no where near as sound as jose's RM.

Love him but not needed. This window should be ALL about solving striker problems and buyinh shaw.

Th best we can do is win our match and pray for city to lose or atleast draw. #HOPE.

spreading rumors out of nothing about what jose said is making mountain out of molehill. Don't like tea. More of a coffee guy. 25 hours to go

Congratulations. Totally deserved it.

You said it would have an effect on the match. I said it won't. Not even close.

Dude. I dint even bring it up. I don't even think that's ANY factor. U did... not me.In 25 hours we ll know we face and hence can argue about that team. But as of this moment, I would take rm over fcb and atm.

U brought it up and now want it to be left alone!!!!Fire power upront but defensively the worst of the 4 remaining teams

defensively weaker full baks (carvajal-Marcelo vs lahm-alaba). Definitely weaker defensively as a team. Wingers who don't track back (cr and bale. And the RM bale is different than the spurs bale, the tracking back is minimal) One dimensional attacks. Jose's know how of the players' strength and weaknesses

he said it when he was their manager. what happens in the dressing room stays in the dressing room. thats the golden rule that RM players broke. even after that, players like CR, arbeloa, ozil have come out in FULL support of him. how many instances have u heard of SAF abusing his players. it is different when things are spoken in public and within the 4 walls of the dressing room. bayern can score a lot of goals too, ATM dont concede any goals. iva will be suspended against those 2 teams too, hazard might be injured against those 2 too and matic and salah will not be elligible irrespective of who we draw. how does it make a difference. the fact is RM would tactically suit us and have the worst defense of the 3 options irrespective of how good their attack is.

dude, he dint call them "son of bitches" RECENTLY. it was during his time in RM, when he was their coach and he said it in his own dressing room when one of RM players broke his order of not speaking to the media. if RM players will be motivated, so will jose and you can bet anything in the world that he ll have all of our players as motivated as himself.

so is this thread used ONLY when we lose? where are the haters now?

ATM is a BETTER team than RM. they have proven that in LA LIGA, CL, in the matches they played against barca and RM this season. hence the "lets avoid ATM" posts. moreover chelsea and ATM tie would be a defensive stalemate which would be decided on a moment of magic or a setpiece. we have a way better chance against RM who are weak defensively. moreover jose would know each of those players inside out and play accordingly.

We were very comfortable against them dude. From the minute one we had the tie in the bag. We dint struggle at all agaonst them. :lol: It was not like we won the tie in the last 3 minutes left and it was a hard fought encounter. By the way how is RM these days? Still think they are a well balanced tactical masterclass. :lol: :lol:

i meant RB. my bad. just meant to say that carvajal will be up against hazard/schurlle.

thats the point,you cant have a pre-season game as a yard stick. moreover their style in NOTHING like the time we played each other. ISCO and OZIL were their main man in that match, both of them would not get much of a part to play. we definitely wont have mvg-lamps as our pivot with essien coming on in the 2nd half. like i said, u simply CAN NOT use that match as an argument. ps - the match where we were truly outplayed was man city fa cup.

mourinho said a "couple of weeks" which actually would be about the the time of the tie itself. might be touch and go.

ATM and chelsea will be set up pretty similar. the match will come down to a moment of magic/set-piece. bayern will be a story of them trying to outplay us and we trying to counter them. but defensively bayern are way better than RM. infact its not even a contest in that way. the fact that RM have carvajal as their LB should give the likes of hazard/schurrle the confidence of having a jolly time.

counter attack? against a team like chelsea who will have 10 men behind the ball!!! RM will be counter attacked, they wont counter attack us if we play each other. Jose knows the team inside out and no doubt would be the best man to beat them. they are shit defensively from counters and set pieces. their fullbacks are a major liability defensively (marcelo and carvajal), and pepe-ramos is a volatile partnership. They are the best bet of the lot. That preseason match counts for nothing. ISCO dominated us and i can bet my ass that he is not starting unless RM have an 2/3 mid fielders injured. arbeloa deserved to get 3/4 yellow cards. most importantly it was a pre-season match, how can u compare that with a european night?

chelsea vs RM ATM vs bayern the most ideal draws

draw preference RM . . . . . . ATM bayern.

i would not say that they are favourites against any of the 3 teams currently in the semis. defensively they are a disaster. in attack, too one dimensional. i would say, they will be the perfect opponent for us.
