Closed Bayern Munich v Chelsea

[Mouri_Matic 560]

The fact that he got 4 fucking defensive players on the bench tell it all. Dave, Terry, Essien, Mikel. WTF? Why not leave out Mikel/Essien instead bring in Kevin/Ba on the bench. Blatantly set out with intention of keeping it as low as possible and maybe try to win on penalty.

My 3 year old nephew has bigger balls than jose.

yeah lets see after the game. only because people have actually a own brain and use, doesnt mean that we are all "fifa 13 football managers" or type like that. yeah you surely liked our game against united too, didnt you.

We got a tie in Old Trafford. Yes, I did like that.

[Behemoth 266]

We win today.

[zyzz 711]

The games hasn't even started and people already blame Mou...

well than you'll be happy with getting eye-cancer watching our side play like this. not everbody likes it. accept it or not or go in to mourinho is god and best manager ever and he does everything right board.

*yawn* boring insult. It's a worthless trophy, why are we playing as defensive as possible against a bayern with 5! injured midfielders. But please keep pulling your pants down everytime jose is on screen.

Well looking at the line up, doesn't surprise me.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Swap Schurlle for Mata then it is pretty much everyone who deserves to start, for winning the EL last season

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Mourinho-Has won 7 league titles, 2 Champions League titles, 1 Europa League, and 6 domestic cups. Has access to advanced statistics and unlimited video scouting. Watches players in training. Trains players. Decides who fits into his system. Is a trained manager with 16 years experience in top leagues and has advanced understanding of football tactics.

You-Play fifa13 and football manager.

But even a kid knows that Lampard is our weak link in midfield. The team is not being chosen on merit at all thats what I actually liked Rafa for, he chose players on merit

[zyzz 711]

Well looking at the line up, doesn't surprise me.

I wanted Lukaku to start as well but if we win who cares?

[J.F. 1,484]

Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, D Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard ©; Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle; Torres.

Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Terry, Essien, Mikel, Mata, Lukaku.

Anyone else HATE it when Carragher opens his mouth?

Everyone with ears...and eyes!

[Barbara 15,149]

yeah, I have to agree with everyone who says he's being stubborn or whatever picking Lampard to play every single match... if Lamps was at least decent in them, I'd understand. But he was a completely non-factor against ManUtd - especially in the first half and it's clear because he's tired.

[Sovieticus 743]

I wanted Lukaku to start as well but if we win who cares?

Well that would be a true miracle.

[Stingray 9,441]

Russia? ANderlelecht? I'm talking about games like semi finals of Champions, or the final of a World CUp. That's the level of a player who is a starter for CHelsea,

Lukaku will play but he won't start playing against the European Champion.

We are talking about Bayern Munich, we are not talking about Club Brugge.

lol!

Keep being delusional. Yes, Only the EPL has something to offer. Meh: Lukaku has shown he is ready already. Sorry. If you can lead the line in Belgium's 1 'Anderlecht' at 16. If you can smash on the NT level some of the toughest defences. If you can score a hattrick against Manu? Have a season like he had at WBA?

You are judging him on 1 - yes 1 game he started for Chelsea in the past - a WHOLE of less then 200 minutes. That is what he got when coming here. That is what he had to build his confidence of - just think of Torres 50 mil confidence being so fragile :-).

So: that is your poor, unexisting empirical base for his 'being a player of Chelsea and being worth it'. Lol again.

And yet we lost 2-0 goal leads against Relegation fighters at home and lost to west brom and west ham in the process?

[Amblève. 4,995]

I don't mind if we play like we did vs. United, as long as we're efficient and win the trophy I'm fine with the game. This is a final after all and finals are won by the better tactics so let's wait and see.
