Closed Galatasaray 1-1 Chelsea

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

you made a good point, but it doesnt change the fact winning the games doing so is not appreciated and yes football is a theatrical game no one wants to go stadium to watch a game like that, i would find it very boring even it bring achivement, and i prefer to failed our goal rather than playing all defensive game.

I totally respect your point mate, but this is always relative. Barca's performance is soooooooooo boring yet very effective, and the fans don't care as long as they win. Real Madrid had more of a "dynamic", "enthusiastic" performances in the best years but they weren't effective and guess what the fan's were not happy. When a club is categorized as " World Class" the expectations are high. Much higher than the means by which they achieve it. Another point would be the type of players you have and the system implemented by the manager. Mourinho is a guy who is very successful and innovative in his approaches. Yeah sometimes he gets it wrong but apparently from his record in many clubs he got it right A LOT. Again what entertains people is different, but from my humble experience, when you get that win no body really talks about the way you played. Everyone celebrates and every one is happy. Wouldn't matter if you parked the bus and had 1 shot at the target and 30% possession or if you were all offensive with 20 shots on target and 70% ball possession. People only Really start deeply analyzing the game ( sometimes to a really exaggerated extent) when you lose or fail to achieve your targets. You think Italians really cared about their boring defensive style when they won the world cup? You as a Turk, did you really care when you advanced above group stages in the world cup? I really doubt. However you are entitled to whatever makes you happy. Again it is just my opinion on the matter

Big words for someone who caught a shit display from Juventus in that day and barely qualified.

Should of been in europa this average team but hey everyone gets lucky from time to time.

Won't happen twice thought. Do us a favour stop posting here and come back when the 2nd leg is finished (Even thought i doubt you will have the guts to come here again if Galata losses)

But you forget something, Juve is far better than chelsea, and yes we were lucky at second leg. But hey you were also lucky at tonight's match. Im not talking big words. I would say the same as you yesterday, but seeing chelsea tonight...well all i can say that it is a fact and i don't think youre gonna be so lucky at second leg unless you brick a wall in front of a goalpost,

Quarter final? Maybe next year honey but not this year, not against us,

[Mustafa 885]

I for one was expecting us to win the tie after the first leg. Especially after seeing their attacking starting XI. We had more room today than we will at the Bridge. They probably will come with a proper game plan for the 2nd leg. And they probably wont be as shit, cuz man.... they were awful.

It's been a while since I've seen a Champions League turnover the ball so often and so cheaply. They were a pretty poor outfit today, but we f'd up big time for not going for the jugular when it was 1-0.

But hey, look at it this way, all we gotta do, is do what we expect from ourselves at Stamford Bridge - WIN.

You know what I heard the Barca fans come into this board & say 'we play the best football on the planet. Chelsea don't have a chance'. What happened? Then I heard the Bayern fans say 'Who the fuck is FC Chelsea? Unsere Stadium. Unsere Stadt. unsere Cup?' WTF happened then? Brother you are just another Brink in the wall. You side is already dead, but you haven't realized it yet. I hope to hear from you on March 18th.

youre absolutely right and smart we share the same thoughts, in fact im a bit dissapointed with this result, and i guess i needed to find something to blame for that, and it had to be clearly chelsea and the way their playing style, but you got a good result for you to make it easier to qualify at 2nd leg, but still if its all about you i think we have a good chance to qualify last 8 also, i mean your team gave me hope for 2nd leg

[Barbara 15,149]

wow, I'm a few pages back, catching up with the thread and I have to concede to people complaining... it IS worse than the Gala fans trolling. The fights and the environment seems very negative, not only about the match, but very unfriendly too. Are we seriously getting into that kind of mood - as a forum - over a draw away? Yeah, disappointing, pathetic second half and display, but one would think we've lost the title or were Manchester United...

Well if you are a Galata fan than I expect nothing from you other than what you said and keep your spirits and hopes up. We will get to know the final result in a couple of weeks time But I faith in anyone who puts on that Chelsea shirt and a lot of confidence in Jose Mourinho you is jsut building a team for the future and haven't reached the level that he is looking for YET.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Exactly what I wanted to say.

Tbh mou made a mistake removing schurrle. He was better than willian and hazard today. They were both useless.

Jose actually said in his interview that Torres and Schurrle were the best attackers but he had to take both off because Torres was exhausted and Schurrle had a yellow card.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

a simple maths lesson for you ,, something can be improved improved by 110% or even 200% or 1000%

BUT YOU cant give 110% effort

But can something be improved by 1001%? And, what if I give 100% effort but then give a tiny bit more effort, maybe the tiny bit won't make it 110% but I'm sure it would make it at least 105% effort. So I'm sorry you're wrong, 150% wrong.

Chelsea can eliminate us, it is possible but you miss something mate we stand for chelsea and you stand for barcelona in your argument, can you realize that? you say "we are better team than you and you stand no chance against us, you already dead, we will gonna crash you. etc." but in the end barca could end up in their mother league again, we learned it from history of chelsea

Believe whatever you want bro. I guess it's good to have dreams to get you through your day. Happy trails cause I doubt I will see you on March 18th.

there aren't many of them left ,, those not banned seem to have crawled away

That's because if someone shows even a slight bit of disappointment in our performance, they get 5 replies back telling em off. Some in here are clearly very insecure about our performance.

yeah, but having people disagree with you shouldn't lead to this hostility. And I think while many have decent posts - positive and negative - some make it look like we suck further than Manchester United. IDK but it's been a while since there was such a hostile environment here among our own.

Mate all im saying is that chelsea is not as scary as i thought it was, and no matter in what staidum we play, we can beat you, your team's today's game gave me hope, thats all

After seeing that swiss defense your side had, I have belief that your side is done. So done I can put a fork in it & eat it for lunch.

Disagree 200%, this thread was 80% about 110% effort and 10% about the bad performance and 10% about the decent result and the remaining 7% about people trolling.
