Closed Bayern Munich v Chelsea

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Nah, he signed Yesterday of course he can.

I'll stop.

you guys are lucky I love you. no homo.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

You're lucky I'm the first disciple. If there was another motherfucker above me, you would have heard some thing you wouldn't want to hear.

So I take it Willian will definitely be starting?

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Yeah, I'm gonna add Chulo19's disciple as well. :banghead:

[BasGenk 18]

Isn't that basically a general requirement or necessity for attacking players?

Offcourse, but De Bruyne is not a real winger. When someone plays central-midfield, he receive more balls. I think he has the vision, the passing and the stamina for that.

[Amblève. 4,995]

I'd love to see Jose trolling Bayern and playing all the starters from the final that are left. Just imagine the look on their faces if, for example, Bertrand was starting at LW again

Essien-Ramires

Cole-Terry-Luiz-Ivan

Cech

This would be my starting XI. I don't think that Lukaku is ready to face a team like Bayern.

Do u mind telling me what Schurrle offers as CF that Lukaku doesnt?

Absolutley stuipid. He was ready to score a hattrick against United with WBA, but not to face Bayern in a rather meaningless game. Oh the logic...

Schurrle could stop Robben and Ribery from causing problems on the flanks. Maybe he should start on the wing instead of CF, but even as CF he did a very good job causing problems for United's wingers and full-backs.

So you want our CF to focus to chase their wingers deep? And not to cause problems for the opposition defenders and perhaps score goals instead?

You make absolutley no sense what so ever.

PS: Schurrle was absolutley shit as CF.

calm down. Schurrle has played as a second striker and as a central striker for Leverkusen. Yes in the Bundesliga. And yes scored goals as well. He isn't shit at CF. It depends on what your definition of CF is. Against United we didn't have a CF, we didn't have a false 9 either. We had a player who played the role of covering the flanks and coming deep to link the play.

Your definition of absolutely shit might also be just scoring goals. He's played one game there, give him a break. New role, and he tried fitting in. Did everything perfectly well except scoring a goal or setting up one. Lukaku didn't score against Villa when he came on either.

Anyway it depends on what Jose wants to do. If he wants to play smart and nullify the threat provided by Robben and Ribery, then Schurrle starts. Simple as that. if Jose is confident and cocky, he'll play an out-and-out striker to grab goals.

Sorry for the off-topic guys, but is there someone who knows where the guys (Chelsea squad) will be staying in Prague? In wich hotel?

When they visited Sparta Prague, I heard the fans stayed in Yasmin or something hotel. Not sure though.

First of all, read what I wrote again.

I said Schurrle was shit as CF, not that he is shit. That is referring to that game.

The fact that you want to start Schurrle up front when we got Lukaku on the bench is just mind-blowing. Can you tell me one thing that Schurrle did effectively?

In that game we won like 1/10 air duels from Cech's goal kicks for instance. Lukaku offers something we havent had in a while.

Anyway, I acually think Torres will start this and that Jose will use Lukaku as sub.

But Schurrle up front is?

People are really starting to overstate this "Lukaku isn't ready" thing.

Also, how is Essien capable of playing in the DP against Bayern?!

From CF I referred to as the one who started up front. From what I remember, Schurrle did. The role he was given out, he did perfectly well. He wasn't meant to attack and cause United's defense problems, but was meant to break down United's wing play and be able to link up with the three who were behind him on paper.

I didn't mean that. When we need to face a team where we need a forward who can cause opposition problems, rather than trying to counter the philosophy they apply, we need Lukaku or any kind off striker. Like we did against Villa. When we face a team, that is on par or if not better than us, then we need to make sure that we keep their strategy in control as well. Imagine Lukaku starts, our midfield won't be able to link up with him, he'll be all alone pressing on the two center-backs, while Robben combines with Lahm, and Ribery combines with Alaba, and they blow our defense apart to kingdom come. But hey, we started Lukaku. Let him score a hat-trick, and let Robben and Ribery score a brace each. 4-3. Makes sense, nay?

That kind of football, we won't see. The Stoke kind of way of punting balls forward, is Jose experimenting. He even once put Di Maria up front, against either Getafe or Levante upfront, in his first year, IIRC.

And yeah, I think Torres will start. He has a good relationship with finals.
