Away from home against big teams yep. We are never gonna do a Bayern or Real in CL for the last 2 years. At home though we can match ANYONE.

Jose ensuring our reputation as the bus parkers and awful football playing team remains firmly intact. The funny thing is, despite the negative tactics he deployed against a weakened PSG side, we still got outplayed and were extremely lucky to get away with any point. I'm so sick and tired of watching this awful stuff.

And unlike last year we are on course to qualify. So no chasing the game and attacking them at the bridge. Expect similar bs

Even Tim Sherwood could have copied Jose's tactics today.

What has happened to his counterattacks???

We are so bad at counter-attacking, its unreal. He's completely forgotten how to use counter tactics.

Very weird

Pragmatically has been a perfect match for us. We are ahead and we hit first.

In the first half we controlled the game. Without many dangerous plays and the goal of Ivanovic. The approach has been very good.

In the second part everything has changed for the goal of Cavani. Jose's approach was different because he had to react to PSG goal. We we played away, we had already scored a goal and PSG could break the tie because they played at home.

IMO, Jose was intelligent, defense 5 and try to come alive to The Bridge.

Champions League ties are very complicated. Today Bayern have drawn against Shakhtar tonight. Champions League is never easy.

Thinking coldly, we go ahead and the tie will be decided at The Bridge where we are infallible.

If we had gone on to win the match for PSG decided maybe we could have beaten severely.

I am satisfied with the approach of Jose. The March 11 will be a very different match. In our stadium, going ahead, maybe having won the League Cup (which would give us too much confidence) with Cuadrado integrated already in the team andFabregas and Diego Costa fully well physically.

We have to not worry so much, it's soon.

Positive performance-Mou

Thank God none of you fickle fans is in charge of this club. By your logic, City should win the quadruple every year because they play fancy football. Oh wait, they can't even make it to the quarter finals in Champions League with their attacking minded setup.

Get a grip, you're embarassing yourselves.

[GodZola 630]

Yep right on que the doomonger society are having their say.....

Here we are scoring away from home & the great & all powerful Munich drew NIL - KIN NIL AWAY, yep they didn't score so let's just pile the misery on Jose.

Ffs where do we these so called fans come from or better still why the fuck do they support us? I would of taking a scoring draw all kin night long especially after José has said 5 players hadn't trained.

Yeah we didn't play well but to come away with a scoring draw is more than a decent result away from home, let's not forget they are no mugs, & the ref was unbelievably lenient on many of their players who also gave Hazard no kin well protection whatsoever, it was a clear tactic by Blanc to stop Hazard at all costs & the spunky ref bottled it.

I was always under the impression that parking the bus meant you were solid defensively. That was always the one redeeming feature and we don't even get that now ffs. Embarrassing.

This straw man argument again. Yes we all want Jose to be completely gung-ho and abandon defending in every big game. There is no such thing as a balanced approach.

People are complaining about us not being able to be offensive away, Bayern just drew with Shaktar. City play offensive and look what happens to them? 1-1 is not the end of the world.

There's no balance in this team. We have our regular lineup which is very attacking with Fabregas at DM and Ivanovic never at the back.

Or the big game lineup, which is very slow and boring.

Apparently 2 shots on goal is a perfectly balanced display away from home and 1-1 is the absolute best we could have managed. Win away against a top team? Don't be daft. That's impossible. Jose told me so.

I don't think people would moan so much at our lack of attacking play in the big games if we were defensively solid and could see a 1-0 out. I certainly wouldn't. When a team of our quality looks shaky defensively and creates virtually nothing going forward (in the majority of our big away games this season) though then I think there are clear tactical issues and people have the right to complain. A 1-1 is a good result but we were extremely lucky to get it and if we play like that against any of the big 3 in Spain (which we will, I have no doubt) it's almost certainly game over.
