capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ribery will probably want to be the hero/macho-man and attempt to dribble past Kalou/Bosingwa and he has the ability to actually do it.The thing with Bayern and I think imo that this is their biggest flaw, is that they are willing to make risky passes/dribbles just to get the ball forward, making them prone to counter attacks, it was a major issue last season, and has improved a bit this season, but if you noticed, Dortmund had a lot of fun with that, and counter attacks are something that Chelsea specialize in. If I were Jupp, I would be researching on what tactics are best to defend against counter attacks.So he's basically your Daniel Sturridge then in that he's irresponsible.It doesn't take a genius to defend counter attacks. Get some quick defenders on the pitch and play more conservatively than usual, especially in the final third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't know about anyone else but I would like to beat Bayern by scoring more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 If I were Jupp, I would be researching on what tactics are best to defend against counter attacks.Oh there is no way to stop a well orchestrated, deadly counter attack (unless you have pacy defenders like Cap said). Just ask Barcelona (Twice raped by our and Inter Milan's counter attacks). The only way to defend against such great counter attackers is to not let it happen in the first place. Don't give the ball away in dangerous positions and with too many players forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some quick defenders on the pitch and play more conservatively than usual, especially in the final third.Well like I said, Ribery's specialty is to dribble past defenders, no matter how he is caged in, just look at his goal against Dortmund, most others would have passed the ball but he still made it dribbling past tons of defense and shooting it past tons of defense, Oh there is no way to stop a well orchestrated, deadly counter attack. Just ask Barcelona (Twice raped by our and Inter Milan's counter attacks). The only way to defend against such great counter attackers is to not let it happen in the first place.

MagicManMata 24 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I am going to speak here as if I were a Chelsea fan, I think it is better for Chelsea to mark Robben and Ribery, cause without Robbery, Gomez is well basically as useful as the condom on Susan Boyles bedside table, in other words, he is bloody useless.Marking Robben shouldn't be a challenge since he is one of the most predictable players in the world and Chelsea know his style of play very well (his former club)Marking Ribery is the real challenge here, Ribery is born to dribble past tight spaces and can score when least expected (example: his goal against Dortmund) and considering that Boswinga may be going against Ribery, the Chelsea defense have to step in and help out quite a lot, so RDM should really focus on marking Ribery at the most. Cause once Ribery gets the ball past Boswinga, there could be a cross and boom Gomez comes out of nowhere to receive the cross.Taking away the Ribery-Gomez connection is key, and I mentioned this in the opening post. But you would rather mark Robben, then Gomez?That would be a big mistake.Or perhaps not a mistake, as you are actually a Munich fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicManMata 24 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 12 hours to go!I predict that if Gomez scores, we lose, but if we contain him (keep him to 0 goals) we will be champions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicManMata 24 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 So he's basically your Daniel Sturridge then in that he's irresponsible.Ribery is head and shoulders above Sturridge. He has world class link-up play, whereas Sturridge...well, it's not quite that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
