CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well, what do you know? Turns out Barca aren't that great against 11 men... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledg 643 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The irony is they should've been with 9 men at this point. Still gutted we didn't do everything possible to get Simeone. He would've been great against all those managers coming in the PL next season. Still can hope when his contract expires in 3 years from now. And the refeere not giving him a penalty was like.. YES!

Essien19 1,415 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Haha now it's Luis, yesterday it was Kevin, who's next, Torres?! To be fair, well played Luis, he is back to best, wasn't the case with us, but who cares, lol Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cech, Luis, De bruyne, Lukaku all lightyears better than what we have instead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulvhedin 526 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Messi is looking as bad as two years ago when he was puking all over the pitch. Out of the them two it was Ronaldo who decided to show up for this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Last night it was De Bruyne, tonight Filipe Luis, next in line is Sturridge - will probably bag a hattrick tomorrow. And then De Bruyne should wrap up this week with a late winner at the Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Mourinho sold players as if we were in for twice the budget of Barcelona and Real to buy new ones. He forgot to sell Willian too. petre.ispirescu and Last Sicarius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan26 293 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Brilliant by ATM. Absolutely Fabulous Fight and Gameplan. This is what we used to be, before we bought a bunch of mercenaries and sold some of our most talented players. Hardly surprising that ex-chelsea players everywhere are performing so well. They are performing so well, because they are brilliant talents unseen by our ex-manager. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azpinator 2,325 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You know what pisses me off? When we play defensive physical football, the world labels us "anti-football" When Atletico play defensive physical football, the world applauds and hails their spirit and character.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I hope many other Chelsea fans dont think the same way. Though the number of RTs suggest otherwiss. Yea, Atletico Madrid is everything we used to be, but their better than what we've been in Europe the past 5 years. They don't just defend deep, but have 7/8/9 players who can dribble out of pressure and are sound technically. They create multiple goal-scoring chances, and don't just rely on set-pieces for them either. Their pressing is miles ahead of anything we do, and they have defenders who don't need to be hidden by Willian and Hazard tracking back for every single attack (one 1v1 duel between Neymar and Ivan is an automatic goal) no discussion. ---------------------------------------------- Tremendous game plan by Atleti too, and Messi was completely anonymous throughout the match. Im surprised he continued to sit in CM and not move out wide, he played into the ATM gameplan by being so static, and although that tactic worked last match, once Atleti got that 2nd goal, Messi should have positioned himself on the wings to get his feet on the ball instead of hoping Barca would somehow get it to him. But at the same time you gotta give Atleti credit for defending their wings better, because unlike last match, Alves and Alba weren't a factor at all and only got 1 real threatening cross between them unlike last time. Back-2-Back Tremendous European nights. You gotta love it. Wish I was there man. The Scenes. kellzfresh, Essien19 and iseah100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
